Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I think what matters most is your overall availability and your understanding of what could lie ahead. I was super excited about getting our puppy and didn't think about how many different ways having a dog would impact our lives. I didn't expect the pup to bite as much as he does (we're working on it) and I didn't expect so much of an I-don't-give-a-sh*t attitude lol. At the beginning I would get frustrated A LOT but now I've learned to laugh off most of it. Stuff's going to get destroyed, no matter how careful you think you are being about Huksy-proofing the house. We have a cat too, and at the very beginning when the pup was smaller than her it wasn't a big deal. But now at almost 6 months, he's obviously much bigger than her and bullies her almost constantly. I'll be standing right in front of him saying "NO" because he's locked his gaze on her, and not even 5 seconds later he's bolting off his dog bed to chase her out of the room. That's the kind of stuff that gets to me the most, the fact that he does not care one bit what I'm telling him or that he gets his butt swatted after charging the cat, and he's gonna do what he's gonna do.

We crate our pup, but like other posters have said, its cruel to leave him in there all during an 8-hour work day and then make him stay in there longer because we want to go out. Some days we have no choice but to put him back in after we get off work because of errand-running. Our schedules are staggered slightly, meaning that my bf goes to work 3 hours before I do and gets home before I do too. Our pup goes in the crate on weeknights at 9pm, gets let out at 4:30am when my bf wakes up, then gets let out again at 6:30am when I wake up, then I come home to let him out for lunch, usually around 11:30am, and then out again when my bf gets home from work. He's in and out all day, and so far its working out.
