Barktastic Greetings

Oh hai Bently here! I just love when visitors come over to see me, however I go through a few stages before I can calm down and relax.

First I MUST alert the humans! It’s an intruder! Bark bark bark, Pure panic and anxiety kicks me into high gear, bark bark bark.

Then I absolutely must jump all over them, hiya! take that! Normally by this point I recognize their scent making me so excited to see them, OH WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! ITS BEEN DOG YEARS! Still of course I must jump all over them to show my excitement, even the occasional bark, just to say I love you.

Then and only then I will find the closest toy.. sometimes it may even be a mitten or a hat, to bring to the visitor; not as a gift but just to show them all of my bark-tastic stuff of course. I prefer not to share if I don’t have to.

When the visitor finally is able to sit down through the chaos I’ve created with my jumping, barking, and excited energy; I’ll give them a few last kisses and then lay down for a nap phewwf, I’m pooped!

Greetings have gotten me even MORE excited since Soph joined the family! She’s just so curious about every barking thing I do! The difference, for some reason, When the human says no to jumping; get this, she actually STOPS jumping. Just wagging her tail like its some kind of weapon; oh the tail! That’ll be story for another time, Oh that pesky tail, always getting me in the face!

The humans have grown to love my stages with visitors, but seeing Soph’s way of greeting has shown me a new perspective. I wonder how other dogs in other homes greet the visitors to their pack. Leave a comment below, tell us you pawesome way of greeting in your pack! We love hearing from you!

Sincerely,

The Bently

PUPPY TEETH

      Oh the chewing and the nibbles. Puppy teething can always be a tedious, and dreaded time for a pet owner, however, think of the poor pup going through it. Just like a human, their teeth hurt, and they don’t feel well when their teething.

     We are currently going through the same issues with Sophee, I’ve tried many toys, and tricks to help sooth her pesky baby teeth. 

  Some examples are:

  • Soaking a rope bone in water, and freezing.  
  • Cutting sweet potatoes and freezing them- they don’t last as long I find.

I also found that having a wide variety of toys for her to chew, some of the favourites she leans more towards are

  • Kong Purple hippo 
  • Nylabones similar to the ones in the image
  • And the good ole rope bone

She has been fairly good for the most part the occasional correction here and there and she is back on track. 

       I’ve heard some pretty bad horror stories of teething puppies/ and heavy chewers; we’ve lucked out for the most part, when Bently was a puppy he would always find the white apple iphone cords and chew them, I mean like ALWAYS. Some how if it was on the counter, he would still get his paws on it. . . it was a brutal faze. But he grew out of it fairly quickly, and about 100 iphone cords in we didn’t need to buy another one again until apple decided to change them every two months, am I right? 

        But do you or someone you know have a brutal chewer story? We’d love to hear about it! Feel free to send a picture of your chewer too if you would like, we’d love to meet them!

Also, always make sure to supervise your puppy when their playing with toys, you never know if they could get a piece off causing a choking hazard.
