My worst puppy story—went to a breeder about an hour away to get a pure bred Samoyed.
At the time I knew nothing except the breed were beautiful, friendly and fluffy.
I get the puppy in the car.
There is only one problem. I am wearing a beautiful new suede jacket—and immediately the puppy starts leaning on it while I am driving.
It was not until I got home that I realized that she had chewed/teethed her way up and down the sleeve—gently enough that I didn’t pay much attention—but firmly enough to destroy the jacket.
Lesson: Wear old clothes around puppies!
(She was an amazing dog—became the mascot for the local Rotary club—every kid in town knew who she was and wanted to pet her and play with her.)
Sneaky pup! LOL. Better though than discovering your puppy gets carsick riding back from the beach because it got too much sand and saltwater in his tummy.
