teething full throttle

Ok, Savannah has been my chewer since day one, trees, fence posts, anything that she can get in her mouth. Never knew a dog to go after a metal sprinkler head- she must like the flower design or something-or is it the cold hard steel tastes good? But now, I think we have entered the serious teething phase-lord help us, because my part beaver pup has stepped up, yikes.

I take my lil monsters treat shopping at the local natural pet shop. Bless the owner for putting up with and loving my holy terrors. They have rows and rows of every kind of dead dried thing in open buckets/baskets. And I let my pups choose what they want to sample. They are ROYALLY spoiled rotten. So the treat of the week, so to speak, is duck feet. Oh how gross they are, but the woofs are so pleased with their booty. They got them this morning, and I swear both of them are smiling as they attack their prey. We can't walk today as it is (-)2, with a wind chill, not exactly weather for a human to enjoy, or puppies to be out in. I still stick by a previous post...getting a puppy in winter just wasn't a smart move on my part, not in my climate. I got Kaleigh in spring, and my previous ones in summer, and that was WAY easier than potty training in arctic temps, being cooped up because of arctic temps. Maybe I can just find a nice sturdy log and let Savannah cut her new teeth on that, she did try out icicles...crazy pup. Will mom survive the intensity that is sure to come?
 
We got Layla in February and had to shovel a potty patch for her!

Be careful -- our Beckon (Colonel Underpants) had a think about madly gnawing on the fence post whenever we'd drive away. He cracked his canine and we had to have it removed.
 
Tail whap from fellow beaver-puppy Cubby! He ate wood -- all logs are in garage and we troop in and out to feed the wood stove. He chewed on the wood corner of a futon -- now covered in a sheet with the pad on top. Just last night I look over and the husband left his slippers inside (usually in garage) and the leather lace was mostly eaten. This morning I assisted as 2 twine lace cores reappeared in what I am calling string-a-long poo.

We also are going stir crazy off school 2 weeks and temps around freezing. I think the gang needs a New Year's Eve bully stick chew session!
 
Bully sticks are our best friends around here when the teething gets out of hand. I hate the smell that comes with them but love the reprieve they bring from sharp puppy teeth!

Bully sticks are the best!! I firmly believe that without them Lacey would get into a lot of things she should not have. She loves her bully sticks and chews them a lot.
 
Shelby was a little beaver too. Loved to chew wood. She still does but is now more selective as to what she chews.

She chewed walls, baseboard, wooden frame around the fire lace, and arm chair, and even the curio cabinet to name a few. Now at least she only chews the fire wood or mulch.

Bully sticks are the best thing ever, they do make some that don't stick as bad. We also used to give Shelby large carrots to chew on.

Good luck, I am sure it will get better.
 
Try the bully sticks from I and Love and You. Oberon loves them, and I havent noticed any smell at all. I get them at Sprouts for about $15 a pack. Bonus: it's a Boulder-based company (ABC: Always Buy Colorado)
