There are some puppy things I simply cannot resist. She'll grow out of it eventually and I'm sure I'll be at some point trying to get her to tug on my sleeve and play with me and she'll be totally mature and uninterested<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

LOL Dan :D We did this with Bo and for his entire life he adored this game. We both has sweatshirts we wore for the specific purpose of letting Bo tug at them Eventually he only did it when we were wearing these shirts..thank goodness!

I know - what a mean mommy I am! No chewing on my shoes, socks or other articles of clothing are allowed (in my presence anyway! :rolleyes: ).

I learned about the stuff that puppies do that's cute when they're babies and annoying when their teeth come in or you're going to an important meeting in your nice suit from my dad raising his boxer litters when I was growing up. So it's natural to me, I'm sure if it wasn't for that I'd have bite marks up and down my whole arm as we speak!
Also I'm sort of a "little" person (though I usually won't admit it - so don't tell anyone I said this) but I really like big dogs so I have to make sure I let them know what they can or can't do when they're puppies or I'd have no hope getting them to listen to me after they were grown up. Sumi weighs almost as much as I do, and she has a lot of leverage being so much lower to the ground.

On the other hand, I do let the dogs sit on my lap, get up and make room for both of them if I'm on the couch, I take them for long walks and visits to the doggie park, to the beach to play, and they get new toys every week so I guess it's not too bad here. Plus Casper likes to help my type when I'm in the office - this is so cute, I just let him do it.
