@mortyfide - sorry, but you properly made me snort at the thermometer situation - I am SO childish! Glad you were cleared to go in, think as long as everyone is safe to do so then keeping up that contact is important for all sides.
Blimey, sounds like you’ve got your hands full! Just don’t beat yourself up - they are a flipping nightmare and, though I don’t have children, I imagine it’s the same kind of principle. If we remembered how overwhelming the puppy stage is, we’d never get another. My boss’s wife said to me when I first got mine “the reason they are made to look so damn cute is because otherwise they’d never survive” 😂
Puppy teeth did me in - they are the most evil little things ever. I can’t remember what it was called, as was nearly 8 years ago now, but I found a puppy chew that was shaped like a bone - kind of rubber/harder material combo - that could be put in the freezer so it helped during the teething stage. Also raw frozen chicken wings really helped - gave her something to gnaw on that obviously helped sooth her really sore gums.
The other positive thing is that, while you’re running round like a loon doing the new puppy stuff, you won’t have time to focus on some of the rubbish elsewhere on t’internet!
Ooh, can you do a weekly photo update - I love seeing how much they change from week to week in their first few months.
Good luck!
