It involved a disgusting smelling chew, which he demolished, and a new ball that is supposedly indestructible.

Amazing how puppies change so totally. I remember being told Snippet would be fully mature by the age of two but, frankly, it took till he was three before there was any significant calming!Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627991011532369893.post-82185864140218487462013-09-11T08:48:23.920+01:002013-09-11T08:48:23.920+01:00Lovely post Lou- makes summer feel a bit distant! ...Lovely post Lou- makes summer feel a bit distant!
