I saw this on Facebook earlier and it gave me a chuckle. My puppy is now 18weeks old and has been more of a challenge than I remember her mum being. We've got the basics sorted, it's just her incessant love of muddy puddles and sneaking bits of garden into the house - wet moss is her absolute FAVOURITE thing.
