Seriously. Since I brought him home at the end of March, the MOMENT the clock strikes 9, he changes. He goes from mouthy playfulness to breaking skin. Completely and utterly relentless.
It doesn’t matter what we did that day. It doesn’t matter if it was a lazy day or a jam-packed exhausting day. It doesn’t matter if I “encourage” it (thinking he has steam to blow off) or ignore it.
He suddenly becomes incapable of putting himself down. I know this can be a problem with puppies but all day long, he will take a nap when he needs a nap. But come anything after 9, he will play until I realize he’s truly exhausted and I hit the light—and he immediately passes out (on lucky nights).
Last night, we were watching tv in bed. At 8:57 he was asleep and I thought wow! maybe he’ll stay asleep. Nope. I kid you not, 9:01 he woke up and charged me. I was continuously putting myself in time-outs from his biting. After one time-out, he actually peed right next to his grass pad. He doesn’t miss his grass pad. From the day I brought him home, if he sees it, he uses it. It felt like a “f u” from my 4.6lb monster.
I finally decided okay, bed time, I can’t take this. While getting into bed, he bit my thumb HARD. I immediately just started sobbing. I was done. I cried for ten minutes, all the while he did his sweet “omg mom is crying I should excite her” leaps around my face. When I laid down and turned off the light, he curled right up and chewed his bully stick until he fell asleep.
