Trying Molly's patience

Yesterday evening Molly's dad showed me some videos of other schnauzers on the computer! They were interesting but not as noisy as me (note from Molly - the sound was broken!).

Molly wet one of my little ropes & put it in the freezer, then got it out for me to chew. It really helped my sore gums for a few minutes but quickly defrosted. Molly's not sure if she should have soaked or frozen it for longer.

Before Molly put me to bed in my crate last night I fell asleep snuggled up with Ted again. Molly said she had to take a photo because I looked very cute.


This morning we went out on a walk first thing, before I even had my breakfast! I'm getting better at not pulling on the lead but today I kept bouncing up for my reward when Molly asked me to "sit".

Molly said I've been more annoying than usual today - oops! I've whined when she's tried to put me in my crate for a rest, wouldn't settle down (anywhere) for more than a few minutes at a time, was nippy, grabbed at my food while we were training, kept returning to chewing the rug despite Molly's best efforts to distract me, stole remotes & tissues from Molly's pockets & ignored the command "leave it"...

However Molly has managed to get a few bits & pieces done despite me constantly wanting her attention. After I played with another frozen rope Molly successfully managed to get me to settle in my crate for a short period so she could attempt to "puppy proof" her bedroom. Apparently now she's done that she might let me go up there with her sometimes when I'm a bit calmer! I think it sounds very exciting & expect there'll be lots of new things to explore & chew. We'll keep you updated.

Now I'm dozing on the living room floor & Molly is going to attempt to watch some TV before we go out for a walk.
