@tanza @debradownsouth Exactly what I meant. Like a child, you cannot expect a pup to do something their body has not grown enough to do. It's been years since I've had a puppy in the house. "Bug" came to me at 18months, well past potty training. (Thank heavens!)

This is a wonderful thread. The pups have such a short window of time to be that cute until they're full grown. All these pictures capture them at their most precious moments. Who doesn't like to see them puppies? They all look so sweet!
I forget how aweful Duke used to be when I see him that young in pics now. He was SO MOUTHY, that I cringed at coming home to be his mommy. But I did, because I'm the one who claimed responsibility for him. Soooo glad we got past that stage. Still a bit spastic at 1.5 years. Were anyone elses mouthy? Or was I the only one with hands of pain from puppy's uncontrollable urge to maul with razor teeth. :o

Sahara use to be mouthy as well, and even today she will try to get my attention by mouthing my hand. In the beginning I had scratches and marks so bad, on the wrist as well. She has pretty much stopped, but there are days, I go after her with a water bottle now. She has started getting my writst now when I try to get her to not follow me in the bathroom when I take my shower. She actually had my wrist the other day and started growling real loud, well I let her know that was not accepted at all, looked straight in her eyes, grabbed her and said no. I gave the command to sit and when she did I rewarded her with rubs and kisses. She is one controlling bitch, haha!!!!! Love the pics of Duke as a puppy, I would have taken him as well, so cute!!!!!!

Aww, thanks Y&T. I remember taking the pics, but not being totally sold in heart for him yet because of the mouthing. But…he's still here and we threw away the key.
Yeah, as with your Sahara, he's still a bit of a spaz (sp?), and it is annoying, but you have to let them know their behavior isn't acceptable. And me too, they get loving all the time anyway.

They are all soooooo cute. I feel puppy fever coming on!!! :eek:
