Has there ever been an occasion where someone asks if something's a scam and they're like "oh, I was worried over nothing!" and then it went perfectly?

Yes, this thread.

So how goes the house training and the chewable household items?

Dave · Oct 22, 2011

Chewing is not bad. She has a lot of toys that she uses. House training? That's a different story.

We brought her home exactly a week ago. She was 8 weeks old at the time. Since then she's had a couple accidents but only because we missed the fact that she was whining at the door to go out. She's never pooped in the house. It's actually quite amazing how smart she is and how fast she picked up on letting us know she had to go out. She's far and away the best dog I've ever had in that area.

Don't let the old-timer know that, Dave

Also, I find the lack of puppy pictures on this page reprehensible. I trust you will correct the issue soon?

Very nice! We managed to house train Caribou in two weeks. Hope yours continues to go smoothly! Got to agree with the Ranger on this lack of pictures problem!

Given that "Caribou" is capitalized, it's not a stretch to assume the dog's name is Caribou. I don't think further explanation is needed. He house trained a dog in two weeks.

Weird. t's never taken me more than a couple of days to housetrain a dog. Usually you just take them out when they're going or about to go and they pick up on it faster than kids do...

Oh man... I was so hoping for a zany, whirlwind adventure involving a bad-tempered arctic deer sharing Neon's appartment.

Poor Cuba... his entire career died when he made that movie. To go from Jerry McQuire to that? *sigh*

You got it Tress but you took all the fun out of that one! Yep Caribou is my pup, there is a picture of him locked in an epic battle with a feisty blue crab on page two, well until he figured out that he could just step on the crab.

Now that Ranger would be hysterical! So far the only deer here have been on the grille before being brought into the house.
