Congrats on your new pupper!!! 

Daisy was just over 5 months when we adopted her.  She was a crazy playful biter.  It was all in good fun to her but geesh did it hurt! 
Turning my back was no good because she would just bite the backside.
She thought everything was play.......gra bbing her muzzle, pushing her cheek into her mouth so she would bite it if she bit down, taking her down and flipping her on her back.   
A squirt bottle worked for us.   We never had to fill it with anything but water although I've heard some people have added a couple drops of baby shampoo  (bad taste) or vinegar. 
She didn't like getting squirted in the face. 
Of course, I had to buy a bunch of these and have them all around the house but it worked.  We still use it from time to time.  Funny thing is that I don't have to squirt it.
She sees the bottle, stops the bad behavior, then shakes as if she was squirted.

Enjoy your new pup!   Can't wait to see pictures!

This picture made me smile.
Pity that she isn't relaxed in her new home, huh?   
On the table no less....too funny.

Count me too.   
I've gotten some great deals, only gotten burned once, and enjoy myself.
I do have an after midnight rule.   I don't start shopping after midnight.
I tend to end up with things that I never would have bid on if I hadn't been tired and caught up in the bidding. 
The bidding.......*sigh*.......gotta love the bidding.
The next day I'll find the "YOU'VE WON!" email and I break out in a sweat not remembering what I bid on the night before.     
So....no shopping after midnight for me......at least that's what I tell myself.

Some dog toys say...."for the toughest chewer"....right.
I'm sure many of you would agree that your BP could work for a dog toy company testing chew toys and most toys would fail the test.

Here's our latest problem.   Daisy is chewing little bits off of toys and ingesting them.  She threw up repeatedly last night until a small piece of toy came out then the stomach settled down.   
I removed all rope toys last month due to to this issue. 
She chews through everything I've purchased (even Kongs).   
She has to have something to chew otherwise she will chew whatever is nearby...inclu ding woodwork (any tips for repairing?)       
I don't mind the toy getting destroyed.
Swallowing the pieces is the issue.

So....suggesti ons for tough, fun big chew toys for my monster chewer?

Thanks,
Wendy

Here's Neo and Savannah. Neo is 18 weeks now and Savannah is 6 months, she is quite a bit smaller than him.
Man was that ever hard to do!! 

Steph....I love seeing the top of Neo's wrinkled head in that pic!  He's like, "What the heck are you doing?!?!!?"   Too funny!

I say.......don't get 2.....get 'em ALL!!!!! 
Puppies puppies puppies!!!!!
Sure...easy to say when it's someone else's house, huh?
You'll make the right choice.
New puppy!  Congrats!

hehehhe!

Its the next line of the poem that jjfritche started.
