Chew-Baca… AKA Cooper

Friday, January 6th, 2012

I am fully aware that puppies chew everything, but this little guy does it super fast, while watching him? It’s like he knows he is going after something he isn’t supposed to have, so he’ll lunge at it and do it as fast as he can… and those tiny teeth are like razors!!!

First he ate the cords for the hunting game, while the kids were in the process of playing their game!!!

Than he saw the cord for the keyboard hanging, literally jumped, and the small mouthful of wire killed the keyboard… “drop it”, and that single bite killed the keyboard?!?!

This morning was all my fault. I took Cooper out to go potty, came back inside, and he made his way to our bedroom while I was making the kids’ lunches for school. I don’t know if I was more freaked he ate the cords for the kids’ game system, or that the red piece was missing. I think I ended up less upset in the end, when I found the missing piece, because that is a visit to the Vet, and costs I don’t need right now to remove what I would hope he couldn’t swallow? Chew-Baca struck again, and I can’t be too mad at him because we should know better! Thankfully the cords are sold separately at game stores. But I’d already made our bedroom a safe place, away from the nipping puppy, to play videogames and have cords down… and not live in fear of Cooper!

And he has a ton of toys, some he stole from the kids, but they seemed to pass them down (rabbit from Easter and Monkey from Marine World). He has an actual toy box, toys scattered all over, and even toys in his crate.

I’m really looking forward to when his puppy classes start!!! I actually thought the most he’d need were the potty training classes, but we’re doing just fine with that, and he’s at nine weeks going to the door (whines and rings the bells).
