puppyeyes

You come home from a long day of grueling work and all you want to do is relax in your beautiful new sofa. As you get ready to prop your feet up and watch the latest episode of your favourite television program you are surprised by a scuffling sound and an arupt moving of the couch.

You know something is up. With the perpretator mysteriously absent you find a beautiful mess to take care of. Not only has the pup destroyed your favourite pillow but he has also somehow managed to find your favourite shoes and are now officially a  pliable chew toy.  And when you try your best to find the coward ( who has become increasingly good at hiding) which takes you a good twenty minutes.  And there he is looking rather guilty, ears pointed down cowering in fear. Ah yes, you are ready to give them a good stare down. And then you see it : the big watery helpless stare. And despite yourself your heart jumps. Damn it, you have fell for it again.

There is a reason God made pets cute, it is to make them irresistible. But be strong, and be diligent in your discipline, because a cute pet is not cute as an adult just reckless and spoiled.
