Today is National Puppy Day. So while all the humans are cooing over the cute puppy pictures being shared, I’m going to remind everyone about the truth. Puppies are annoying!

Yes, you heard me correct. Underneath all that fluff is a self-centered, annoying little creature, who doesn’t share and is always on the lookout to sink their razor sharp teeth into something. Don’t believe me? Well take a look at this video I made back in 2015 when I had to address this situation with Mom and Dad.

Did they listen to me? NO! The following is their response in March of 2015:

Dearest Chuck Billy,

We understand how Asa’s behavior can be annoying, and appreciate your patience with him.  However, you may not recall you acted the same way towards your big brother when you were a puppy.  Day in and day out you would seek Lemmy’s attention, and he would tolerate your antics with little more than a sigh.  Alright, somedays he’d hide from you too.

Eventually though you two became the best of friends and went on many adventures together.  So please hang in there, and continue to be patient with Asa.  Because someday he will outgrow these puppy tantrums, and you may actually miss it.  In the meantime once the teething phase hits full force, you can join us in Lemmy’s old hiding spot under the desk!

Love,

Mom and Dad
