His Mark Is Worse Than His Bark

I might malign a young canine,

For dim design and wimpy whine.

Though kids may yell and deem him swell,

He’s yet unmanaged; we can tell.


In sheer delight, my dear, I’d dance,

And give the pup a second chance,

If he’d be trained, not just restrained,

And all our floorings be unstained.

  2. Ahh... yes I remember when the Tonka Unit was a young pup having the same difficulties. But he learned pretty quickly. I recommend crate and paper training. It worked for me with a whole litter of 'em!

  3. That beautiful scruffy face deserves "a second chance".

  4. Thankfully, the housebreaking stage is a short one. Enjoy the other great parts of puppy-hood.
