So here's the thing....Brutus is obsessed with play with every toy he owns. He is continually put all his toys on us and want us to play fetch all night long. If god forbid we try to ignore him he will bark constantly until we throw the toy. Now here is the problem. We are tired and would like to unwind a little watching tv before bed time. Now don't get me wrong, we play with Brutus all the time. I have three kids and at least one of them are home throughout the day to play and then I get home at 4:30 and take over play and hubby gets home at 6 and takes over play. Now is it too much to ask to relax between 8pm and 11pm? So this is what I did. Please don't hate me or kick me out of EBN for my abusive actions, but I took his toys away at 8 last night. I gave his his nylar bone and a chew stick. He looked around for about an hour and then settled down to chew his bone. every now and then he would check to see if his toys magically re-appeared and then would go back to his bone. This morning all toys were restored for normal play. Am I a monster for depriving my baby of all his toys?? We just feel like we are going to go insane if we don't get a little down time.
