I found this online - author unknown. I'm sure it all sounds very familiar ...

Poem For A New Puppy Owner

Don't smell crotches, don't eat plants.
Don't steal food or underpants.
Don't eat my socks, don't grab my hair.
Don't rip the stuffing from that chair!
Don't eat those peas! Don't touch that bush!
Don't chew my shoes. What IS that mush?
Eat your cookies. Drink your drink,
Outta the toilet! Outta the sink!
Away from the cat box, it's for the cat!
And MUST you kiss me after that?
Yes, raising a puppy, is not for the lazy!
Though puppies are funny, they're also quite crazy.
But don't despair, though its toil and strife.
After three years, you'll get back your life!
So, let's go for "walkies", you can "do your thing"
And perhaps I'll get back my good diamond ring!

Anyone who has ever raised a Doberman puppy knows this is right on - in spades! Having raised both Doberman and Schnauzer puppies, the Doberman will tax your patience.

High energy and inquisitiveness coupled with high intelligence combined in a small package with big feet all combine to the point that when they finally settle down and go to sleep for a while, you can sit down and relax. But when they grow up to their full size and slow down you are rewarded with one of nature's best creations.

How completely true! Waiting for the moments where mine is sleeping or playing with herself at the moment - very tireing work having your eyes on them all the time ;)

When I posted earlier, I was going on memory. Little did I know that an opportunity to add a new little guy to my family would occur and that I would take advantage of it. It is peaceful now that Jake is asleep in his crate.

The poem is a good reminder of life with a puppy.
