Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

So how long do you let your puppy nipping and chewing on you? And when would she stop/do I need to make her stop? outside she's a lot better inside she gets amped up and won't quit trying to bite everything. I got a lot of toy distractions, but she likes to bite/push them until they rest on something of mine she wants to chew for a sneaky covert bite. That's annoying, and needs to be curbed. My real worry is she made a friend bleed today and she bites socks and gets stuck and then I can't get her off and if I move she twists and I fear I'll hurt her trying to shake/pull her off.

Get her a chew toy. I'm not an expert, but I have two dogs that love to gnaw on stuff and two cats that love scratch up everything. Once I figured out to give them something appropriate to let it out on, my house stopped getting f*cked up.
 
PS-- I really am looking forward to checking out The Fleshies. Been a long time since I heard a new punk band that wasn't Hot Topic Mall Punk (TM).

And, of course, Madison has a great punk rock history.

I saw them open for the Melvins 12 years ago and was instantly hooked. They're seriously one of the best punk bands out there, stupid in a smart way, funny and not totally mean spirited, no modern hardcore macho bullsh*t. And they can shaging play. Highly recommended for anyone that likes real punk rock.

Got an antler, a stuffed rope duck that squawks when it's shaken, a rubber pig that oinks when squeaked and a tennis ball on a rope and two balls.

It's apparently normal behavior but it's really annoying. It doesn't hurt but when she grabs and pant leg or sock or shoe it's slightly harder and she doesn't leg go and I can't get her off as I'm afraid I'll hurt her.

Much research shows I should get a tether and clicker and do training that way. So I can back out of her bite/activity zone and re-enter when she's calm and learning.

I can't take her out of one area of the grassy yard for potty purposes. So I carry her to paved places to play outside so she has less chance of coming in contact with disease carrying stuff until she's fully protected. There's a church across the street so we chase a basketball there.

Jesus,12 years ago? How have I not heard of this band? I think of myself as pretty well informed.

You know...ears to the streets...tough as dirt, mean as blood. Where I blow out come spiders. Where I step a weed dies...
