    Is my pup lazy or just getting adjusted?

    We have a 12 week old pup that has been in the house for two days. He's adorable and seems very confident and content but his energy level is very low. He'll run after you but only for very brief periods and not more than once or twice a day. While he does explore within 3 or 4 minutes he'll...

    So yesterday the boy ate my couch. Not the whole thing as I only turned my back for five minutes but he took a chunk. Now I am not naive enough to believe he won't destroy his fair share of furniture but I believe he humbled me yesterday. He reminded me that no matter how hard you work at this...
