Feb. 8th, 2019 09:34 amReporting here from Pax-central, where things have improved on the biting front a little. He's definitely having teething trouble and some days are good and some days are bad, but he's doing really well. His poor mouth looks awful, though. His gums are all red and he has little half-in teeth sticking out of them.
We've been teaching him to walk on a leash and he's improving a lot there, though he still sits on his butt and refuses to move sometimes. He's a super fast learner, which is both awesome and sometimes troublesome, as he learns quickly how to get in trouble, too.
He's also quite feisty. He keeps getting into 'fights' with things. Not aggressive, always defensive, which is what you expect from a Scottie for their breed standard. Our stove has a somewhat reflective door on it and we've been joking about the 'puppy in the oven' since he arrived since he keeps noticing his reflection and looking at it. But, the other night, the puppy in the oven did something highly offensive and Pax had to tell it off for several minutes. We couldn't get him to understand it was him and finally had to put him to bed (it was time, anyway). He had a couple more fights with the puppy in the oven but he's seemed to have made peace with him, as there have been no more arguments.
The weather is playing having on my head with all the ups and downs. Lots of migraines. But otherwise, everyone is in good health. Lots of napping here, but I think that happens when you have a new baby, right?
