Growth spurt?

Must be something like the 3-week-old growth spurt these days, as Catherine has her fussypants on this week and seems to be hungry all the time.

Tonight, for example, Jenny was driving home with Catherine and Ellie. Catie was freaking out so hard that she got Ellie going - and when Ellie gets barking, you don't want to be around. Jenny had to pull the car over and apply some doggie discipline (holding closed the mouth). Still, Ellie and Catie continued to freak out all the way home. Jenny had to admit it was her fault - she tried to make it home before feeding her and was about 20 minutes too late (that little girl has a hollow leg!).

As a result, Ellie spent some quality crate time when she got in the house. We don't have a crate for Catherine (is it even legal?), so we used Jenny as the human pacifier instead.

I hate to tell you, it pretty much stays like this for the first three months. Or maybe it's just my 10 lbs-ers.

I've found that sometimes really loud music can help (and so can singing the alphabet) but not until they're a little older.

The only thing worse than leaving the house is staying home.

At least it gets better by the time they're one!
