    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    You're right there @rugerman . Looks all cute and cuddly but you soon realize your mistake as he is trying to chew your hand off at the wrist ...
    Had we known just how similar it is to having a baby in the house regarding sleeping we might have thought twice but we are all adapting. And the house definitely looks like a disaster area now with toys and shredded cardboard every where . But we are learning alot about him and are starting to be able to read his moods etc which is making things easier. He also has figured out that certain places are for cuddles and relaxing such as our outside bench seat and when he has played himself out or had enough of training he grabs my hand and leads me to the seat for cuddles and quiet time. Smart little bugger.
    And you have hit the nail on the head there @Mr Browning.
    I'm not sure I was ever the alpha in this house and he has just underlined that fact. He rarely listens to a word I say just like the rest of the family so he has fitted in perfectly...

    lol yeah FTX I remember a couple of my fluff making dogs I suggest small stuffed critters so there isn't a crapload of fluff to pick up each time. I used to get a few from the op shops or sallies at 2 bucks each, and after he's ripped the fluff out and finished playing with the carcass, chuck it out and get ready to introduce the next one.
    Let him have his fun for a while, but eventually you will want him to know who the boss is before he gets big and still thinks he rules the roost. It can lead to a huge amount of chaos and a few behavioural problems. Around feeding time is a good time to remind him where the food is coming from and just who gives it and can take it away too.
    I think owning a pup is the reverse of flying a plane, huge amounts of chaos and brief amounts of boredom

    Oh and I would think it's worse than having a baby, since this baby is self mobile and can chew holes in things no worries

    Check puppys had all its jab's before getting out an about (I say this with out knowing how old Remmy is), Parvo is a basterd.

    We only give our dogs all their inital shots/boosters and thats it. They don't get anymore as they will never need to go into boarding kennels but thats our risk and all us owners are different.

    Quite right @mikee. He has only had his first shot and due second in 2 weeks and third mid March so we are house bound at the moment unfortunately .
    But any of you guys are welcome to drop by anytime for a beer/coffee and a chat whenever and have a limb gnawed on by remmy . You've all got my number....
    And we're not limited to pizza .
    Got fallow in the freezer and a BBQ ......

    Perhaps we should make a plan if you lot are keen ?

    How about you @veitnamcam ?

    Whilst I cannot speak for VC, I gauge that his answer will be in the affirmative as there are three essentials of life (meat, beer and good company) on offer. Ha ha ha ha.
