Call her Sid-Vicious

The puppy's name is Sydney to note her Australian shepherd side. But her nickname has quickly become Sid-Vicious, as in, "I am a puppy and will chew anything I feel like, including your shoes and holiday plants."
A colleague told me about a family struggling with a new puppy and that biting tendency.
"You don't understand; there's something wrong with this dog. She chews on EVERYTHING."
That means there's something right: Healthy puppies chew on EVERYTHING.
The transition from clean and quiet household to household with dog is going well. At least, I'm enjoying it. Those who have lost parts of shoes may not feel the same.

Just keep her away from bats...

When our dog was a puppy, he quietly chewed away the tasty leather covering on a chair leg WHILE our son was sitting in it.
