Glasses and Chew Toys

This morning I gave Jay a chew stick and hopped in the shower. He had done so well that I wanted to try him out with letting him be downstairs while I showered. Yesterday when I came down, he was asleep on the couch. I wanted to see how he would do.

He came upstairs quite a bit while I was getting cleaned up. He really does prefer to be around people, which is a good thing. The kicker is that the kids are here, so he's been more hyper than he is when he is just with me. (And, it is GREAT having the kids here, as they all love each other so it's fun to watch!)

So, today when I came down after cleaning up, I looked over and he has something in his mouth. I walked over, and noticed he had my glasses in his mouth! Fortunately, it was just the earpieces, but it is enough damage that I will go on Monday to get new earpieces. At least I hope I can get the earpieces. Otherwise, I need new glasses!

I stood there and looked at him. He dropped the glasses and cowered. I picked up the glasses and went in the kitchen to clean them and assess the damage. He followed, and when I looked at him, he cowered. I took a moment and spoke sternly to him. He just cowered and walked away.

I went to Wal-Mart later and found some chew stuff that works! He now has to WORK ON the chew instead of having it eaten in 10 minutes!

Don't worry, the glasses will be kept up high from now on.
And he will have a chew that lasts before I clean up.
And life will go on.

Life.
Is.
Good.
