4. I'm sorry you've been in the hospital and I hope things get better.

But puppies are puppies and they'll destroy everything. Three summers ago, I had 35 plants in pots on my deck after getting a three and a half month old golden retreiver/siberian husky mix puppy in May. By the end of the summer, he'd destroyed every single one of them. Then he knocked down the last one left, which was a plant in a ceramic cookie jar. He knocked it down and it broke, then he tried to dig in the dirt and cut his foot so badly that he needed surgery. A few weeks later, he chewed out his stitches and had to go back and have surgery again. That idiot puppy had his foot wrapped up and the cone of shame around his neck til Thanksgiving. I thought there was no hope for him and he'd be a pain in the neck forever. But now, he's three and is an amazing dog who knows what you're thinking before you even say it and doesn't touch ANYTHING that doesn't belong to him. It does get better...
