Oh I’m so glad I started this thread, I had been thinking about it for a week!
@Jennifer I’m glad you had that chat with the German Shepherd parents as that makes 4 of us now

I almost was about to book a vet appt to ask about this so I’m relieved I don’t need to go through that embarrassment now

my vet often gives me free vet exams for all my ridiculous worries

he’s truly the best vet!
But like you both are experiencing,
@HAH and
@Jennifer, Hugo seems to have reversed in teething but I was putting blame on him being a teenager, but now reading what you both have said it actually makes much more sense that he’s going through a teething spell again… we had made huge progress with him trying to eat EVERY stick on a walk to only picking up the odd one but spitting it out quickly, to now trying to eat them all again. He’s destroying toys again instead of just mouthing them, he’s chewing hard on my arms and hands again (not hard enough to break the skin but he was only mouthing for awhile there), he chews his tree root like crazy the past week. I was at work the other day and he ripped apart his crate toy which he only ever used as a pillow since day one and he was awake and fidgety for more than half my 8 hour shift that day, which truly never happens, he usually sleeps all the way through now and has since he lost all of his baby teeth, and I couldn’t pin point why he was so unsettled and destructive
Thank you for all the reassurance and the link, I feel better about his little toothies now

It will be interesting to compare these photos in a couple months time. He’s had another growth spurt too, gained 3.6kgs in 19 days, so he’s 28.7kgs now. So with teething, growth spurts and training, it’s a lot on little ones! I savour our cuddles during these puppy times
