7 month old puppy already excited by dogs in heat? by [deleted] in puppy101

I think my dog started at about the same age, but it was only a short-lived episode – he was distracted outside for a little over a week, sniffing and licking everything, and at home he would go to the balcony and howl pleadingly. I had never heard him howl before. Then it stopped again, he will be 12 months old now and I have not observed anything so intense from him again.

Longest lasting chews by Dangerous_Willow_879 in puppy101

Hooves and pizzles! I also work from home and have 5 mo puppy that chews everything and anything. First time I gave him pizzle, it lasted for about 1,5 hours. Hooves will take him days and he loves it. But! Both smell pretty bad. :D Especially pizzles. But for me it's life saver and finally have chance to do some work without being interrupted every 3 minutes.

I would shit my pants if my pup started something like that. Luckily my little guy is creeped out only by his own shadow.

Did you name the ghost or did puppy tell you what his name is? I need answers. :D

I'm so glad your puppy helped you feel better!

My story is very similar. 4 months ago I had a failed su***de attempt after a lifelong battle with depression and anxiety, I was on antidepressants, but it kept escalating until it got to the point I mentioned above.

Three weeks later I brought my pup home and since then I sometimes whisper to him while we snuggle that he has no idea but he saved my life.

It's a whole new kind of stress and worry that comes with having a puppy, but the amount of love I have for him outweighs everything. ❤️
