Heather and Bruno from UK

[hev]

Hi I am Heather from Lancashire UK. I had a dog growing up but 2 weeks ago I got my first ever puppy, Bruno a 16 week old basset hound (hush puppy). I also have a 4 year old cat Holly and things are a bit tricky at the moment.
I have grown up with a dog but it was already there when I was born, subsiquently it has been a real shock getting used to a puppy and all that it entails.
I also have 2 children so me and my partner are not new to the "messy" aspect.
At the moment we are coping with the chewing and nipping stage. And he is great at "wee wees" but terrible with the other!! Leaving steaming little packages everywhere for me. He is due his last vacs this thurs so after they have kicked in we can take him out but for now he is paper training. Our garden is off limits until we can fix our fence which we share with the neighbours (tricky subject).
I am off now to surf for some enlightenment.

Welcome to Chazhound, Heather

It sounds like you're coping with good humor and a light heart.

Hope you have an enlightening surf, and if you don't find what you need, ask away; someone's sure to have gone through the same thing and come out on the other side and have some experienced wisdom to pass on.
