"Stop that or I will trade you for a chimpanzee!" I say.

Lucy pants is going through a "thing" where she is constantly barking and she bites! She bites on any piece of your clothing she can get her teeth onto. It is horrible. She has bitten holes in so many of my things, including my FAVORITE orange Lucky sweatshirt. I think it is just because she is teething still and we see new teeth coming in. It is horrible though trying to shake the puppy off your coat sleeve, or pant leg constantly. She is doing great sleeping in her bed all night and not pottying all over the kitchen. I have almost taught her to not just sit by the front door quietly to go outside, but to bark so she gets our attention. She is doing ok at that. I enjoy our walks, looking at the Christmas lights all around. There is a HUGE dog we encounter almost daily on our walk, named Diego, who barks really loudly and jumps at the fence when we go by. She scares Lucy badly and even if he is not out, Lucy crosses the street to avoid him at that corner. The other day, I let Lucy take us on a walk and I followed her lead. My heavens she zigs and zags all over the place, sometimes going to the same spot 4 or 5 times before moving on. The path, if you were to draw it, might look like a path drawn on Stacey's game where you look in the mirror and try to trace a path. It was all over the place. She gets spayed in 3 weeks, and I hope I do not have to leave her over night. That is a sad thought.
