Oh yeah! I've got two of the little buggers and I either think they're wonderful or terrible. No in between. Yesterday I ran into a neighbor who said she had a 6 mo. old lab. She said the same thing you just did!

Every other day I threaten to find one or the other a new home. Then I get a puppy kiss and I'm melted again. Last night my husband looked at George and Gracie, who were fighting with each other, and he said, "You guys are supposed to make us WANT you!" Just then, George put his chin down on the ottoman and looked up with those puppy eyes all sweet and sad and we were done for.

Truth is, they ARE a ton of work. Not much different than a baby, except your baby never ate your sofa. But it will get better. I just know it will.

It will, won't it?

Jac - Thanks for adding your hubby's two-cents. I'm still laughing about "when they get pregnant, you can sell their children!"

When you say training, training, training...can you be specific about what you did? Are you talking about going to classes or a specific set of commands?

Thanks, Jac, for being so specific. It helps to know that even pros like you have to try, try again, sometimes!
