Charlie has grown a lot but around Will she still is really, really, small and right now she is laying on her side in a coma/deep sleep on the white fur rug next to the computer and looks TINY even though she is much heavier. She is a good eater and trys hard to give Mom something to do besides work and relaxation. I figure that she is creating some kind of mess either inside or outside the house around every 45 minutes except when she takes her evening snooze.
She and Katia have a really wonderful time playing fierce fighter/bully or their ever popular baby growler vs paw flipper Katia.
Another month of growth and I will not be able to ever catch Charlie. Mom is getting tired of saying No and I find her looking at me with exaspperation when it is Charlie that is removing leaves from the plants or biting the giant Panda in the living room or peeing for the 4th time on the carpet today or biting her toes or.............you get the idea. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE only helpful.
Well, off to bed. Love, Dad

Hah, and here I have forgotten all about the joys of puppyhood. Thanks for the stories and the reminder that puppies have so much more in store for you than mere cuteness.
All I can suggest is ritual soaking of things with "Bitter Apple" so that she will not enjoy the taste. It might work for the panda and leaves-things that she continually revisits. You can never keep up with the random attacks, but for things that you continuously have to scold her for chewing/biting, bitter apple may be the ticket. That being said, Ada does not go for things with bitter apple, unless there is food, or perhaps, a tasty flu season snotrag involved. In that case, bitter apple is simply seasoning. She takes the bad with "the good".
Mel is off to Hanford, Ada and I were freezing rained in yesterday (had school off anyways for MLK), so I painted and did homework. Got a ton of ideas now that I need to execute for tomorrow's class. But, as you can see by the paragraphs, procrastination has taken a foothold, no, set up an iron fortress in my psyche. I continue to bite off more than I can chew-that being said, Traci, i'm excited to read your stuff. I've read nothing but design periodicals, design texts, and my historical geography book (this stuff is GREAT btw...serious) lately. When I take a break today, I'll check out a chapter of Soggy Pete, before getting back to the grind.
