Boxermom is right! A puppy is like a toddler! My dog is 8 months and he finds everything and anything on floors. My mom does stained glass, so when we visit her, I have to watch him like a hawk b/c he finds tiny shards, push pins, copper pieces, etc, from her work. That's just an example of toddler analogy. I've turned my back and found the toilet paper from both of my bathrooms unwound and shredded on the living room floor, in a matter of minutes. I'd make sure mom and dad are really okay w/ puppy care if you do go to college and/or live at home. I do wish you luck though, however it turns out. He is a cutie.
