tuckered out

This puppy has (so far) not had any accidents. He hasn’t destroyed anything yet. So I’m thrilled!

But he is a handful of puppiness. We’re trying to teach him to keep his paws off the table. To stay away from the Christmas tree. To stay out of the laundry room. To stay off the desk. He’s learning, but he’s sooo curious. And soooo busy.

I took him out for a walk at 5:30. Rob took him for a ride in the car and then a walk at 7am. Camille and I walked him to the library and back at 11am. Camille took him out for a walk at 2:30. And he was still running around keeping us on our toes. So when I had to take Chloe to Oakhurst at 4pm, I took Phelix with us. Rob met us there, so I had him drive the car home while Phelix and I walked the 1.5 miles home. The puppy was so tuckered out that he climbed into his crate and took a half hour nap.

But trying to get things done while he naps? I’m too tuckered out myself …
