Sugar is not so sweet 07/20/11

I still think my puppy is trying to drive me crazy.  This week since my son has been gone; it’s been just me and Sugar spending way too much quality time together.  She is doing really well with her potty training but she is just too busy for me.  I am glad that I work from home so that she doesn’t have to be kenneled all day but I actually do have to work and it is hard to do and watch her too.  She cannot be trusted to just stay out of trouble.  In the living room, we have a stuffed bobcat and she has been trying to chew its tail off and chews on the wood that it is attached to.  She has chewed up the bottom of my curtains in the living room.  We have a wooden rocking chair in there that she chews on the rockers.  Other than that, she’s pretty good in the living room.  Her food and water is in the kitchen, so she does ok in there as long as I keep the closet door closed where we keep the trash.  We have finally broken her – I think- from trying to jump up on the cabinets.  We have to keep the doors to the bathrooms closed because she will get into the trash and there will be toilet paper everywhere.  She likes to lie on the tile floor in the laundry room but she gets in trouble in there.  That is one of the places she chewed part of the trim off the wall and part of the wall.  She also chewed up a rug I had in there.  When I lock her in my office with me she will play with her toys for a few minutes and then commence to chewing on whatever she can get her teeth on.  She has chewed the trim in that room too.  Monday, I put her outside on her leash while I was trying to cook supper.  I heard her jump on the door and I knew she couldn’t reach the door on her leash so I went to check on her.  As soon as I opened the door she came barreling in soaking wet!  She had somehow gotten off her lease and decided to take a swim in the pond.
