Hello strangers! I realize it has been a while since I have posted anything about the little guy, but things have definitely picked up at work, and I haven't really had much time to write. Also, I fear my posts will be even more limited in the coming weeks as I'll be writing recaps for Season 9 of American Idol for the pool that I run at work (if any of you would like to be a part of the pool, shoot me an email at seanthiggins@gmail.com).
I will say that Clarkson has completely recovered from his surgery. It really only took a day of some rest and he was back to his crazy self. Everyone said we would notice a clear change in his temperament after the surgery. They said Clarkson would calm down...
Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, Clarkson has more energy than he has ever had before. Every walk that we take him on, every time that we play with him, every moment that he is not napping - he is acting like a dog on speed. His behaviour is sort of a throwback to when we first got him and all he would do was bite and bark at me. Yes, the biting has returned and so has his inability to sleep through the night. I'd say that he wakes up at least two or three times during the middle of the night and just paces around our room. It's a nonchalant pace from one side of our bed to the other, but it wakes me up and drives me freaking insane. He's also waking up super early in the morning and barking/nudging us until we get out of bed.
Basically, Clarkson is regressing Benjamin Button-style into the puppy/terror that we first owned in November/December. Tricks are being unlearned. Commands - forgotten. If the potty training goes, I think we will have a serious problem...
I think it's fairly obvious what is happening here: he's punishing us for taking away his manhood.
I can't say I don't understand.
