Oh no Witzend! So glad naughty pup is ok, is he now a very curly poodle?

Hero of the hour son in law has rewired the lights! I’ve told him to award himself a šŸŗ.

Oh witzend I feel for them…..we are looking after a puppy here over Christmas and new year too and it has been chaotic at times. I’ve caught her chewing table and chair and us too of course. We have mostly been on top of toileting but there have been a couple of accidents.
In all it confirms that I won’t be having another any time soon. Maybe an older rescue but our puppy days are over !

Apparently he just yelped, but almost immediately fine. Poor DD’s tree looks very sad without its lights!

Sorry that was funny, glad puppy is okay. That's a sort of story that will always be told by you and your DD for many many years.

Sorry but this make me laugh too. The thought of a puppy chewing a cable when he's being looked after is like a comedy script.

I'm sorry you're daughter is upset but the story cheered me up.

Oh poor puppy I wonder if he will remember it and not do it again next year.

Naughty pup!
It's that awful feeling when your heart stops to check he's OK, then you start telling him off!
The voltage on tree lights is luckily very low.

Goodness me , that is one lucky puppy !

This is exactly what my mum’s sheltie pup did. Mum, me and my 2 sisters all watching tv, until the tv and lamps all ent off and the pup panicked. He was fine thankfully

We are all much more cautious now

I know it is awful but this made me laugh. The puppy electrocuted itself but your daughter is upset about her lights.

At least the puppy is okay, I wonder how upset your daughter's friend would have been if you had handed her a dead puppy.

Dd and family are looking after a friend’s puppy for a week while they’re away - he arrived yesterday evening. He’s a lovely friendly pup and the Gdcs adore him (their cats aren’t quite so keen!). but after we’d left last night he chewed through the tree lights flex and electrocuted himself!!

In fact he’s fine, but dd is very upset about her tree lights!
