Life with a Puppy

Well I know it has been forever since I bogged last but I have an excuse. I haven't been able to do much of anything with Sonney around. He has decided that I am his favorite chew toy. I thought it was just a puppy thing and that his breed naturally goes for nipping to herd but he has started to draw blood and really hurt me. I have talked to the vet and training is in order because I have tried everything I know and nothing has stopped him.
My other excuse is that my internet has been messed up for the past couple weeks. It will work one minute and not work the next.

Back to Sonney since him and school is all I do anymore. He is learning how to sit, come, jump. He has also learned how to jump on my bed and over the gate to keep him out of a room. I am glad it is starting to warm up because I can just shut the door now. My heat source is a fireplace in the dinning room and so if you shut the door to any room you block on the heat as well. My den can get extremely cold with the door closed. He is learning other things quickly too like not to beg when I am eating, etc. I just wish he would stop biting and peeing on my floor. He was really good at using the training pads at first and he still is when I am at school but when I am home he pees everywhere. I don't get it! Any ideas?
Well here are some pictures.

Sonney add the water bottle I was using to train him not to bit but he thought it was a toy and liked being sprayed.

Sonney loves my slippers. He also loves my sweatshirts. One of them he put so many wholes in it I just gave it to him to sleep on.

Sonney the day after I got him. He was a good cuddler than.

Sonney's First bath, I think I got just as wet as he did. I don't know if he really liked the experience.


He has grown so much in just a couple of weeks. This coming weekend we will see how he does with a long car ride as we go down to Utah to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. He is scared of pretty much everything so we will have to see.
