[Dailydrool] Pup to adult Tilly

[Bassetmomof2 at aol.com]

Our Freddie is now 3 yrs and 3 months and he is MUCH calmer than he was in  
his first year.  Although he will still steal food off the table if we  leave 
it there and a chair is out.  We use baby gates and have the dogs  outside in 
their yard or downstairs while we eat.  Especially with  kids.  Tilly may not 
see the children as alpha.  It will be easy if  the Mom just puts the dog in 
her crate or outside every time the kids are  eating.  Then she wont have to 
worry about it.  Hopefully Tilly will  calm as she settles into her new life -  
Now our Ellie doesn't climb on the  table but she will stick her paws and nose 
up to it if left unattended.   Every dog is different who's to know when 
exactly they get their brains and  respect for their family.
 
Best of luck to our friend.  I know it seems overwhelming.  I  thought I'd go 
insane when Freddie was a baby.  I'm glad we made it through  and I wouldn't 
dream of trading him for anything.  Even though he can still  be a "stinky 
pete" when he wants to.
 
Helene, Freddie and Ellie
