Apparently the Dog is a Teenager

Teenagers and Dogs smell pretty much the same so it kind of makes sense.

I read this article today in the New York Times about how at 6 months or so your dog turns into a n adolescent. And I have to say: I think the author might be on to something.

Our dog at just 6 months old has all the qualities of a teenager when you come to think about it:

  1. Sleeps too much

  2. Would eat all day if you let it.

  3. Wants attention at the wrong time in the wrong place

  4. Eats stuff it shouldn’t.

  5. Gets into trouble.

  6. Wrecks Stuff

  7. Doesn’t listen to you

and overall is a complete pain in the ass to be around. Yup, that’s the state of this dog right now.
