Ok northerners, anyone catching the hormones yet?

Parkers got it in the worst way. Screaming far more than usual, DESPERATE for attention, wandering...and the timing is TERRIBLE because we’ve also got a Rover boarder right now, so we can’t hold him or have him with us much. Gotta keep him safe with strange dogs!

But it also means more screaming than usual, to the point I get a text yesterday from my partner eddie saying “you need to come home now. You’ve been gone for three hours and I can’t control the situation.” This is Parkers favorite person, mind you, and Parker is eddies buddy.

Anyone else being out through the ringer right now?
 
Our Amazon when 'over-the-wall' crazed in late February /early March time period. But, I think Amazons are a bit earlier anyways.
 
I feel your and your partner's pain Chris! Just take deep breaths and remember it's only temporary (though it may feel like a life sentence in the moment).

We're coming out on the other side of the nasty 'spring thing' here in the Pacific Northwest (THANK YOU UNIVERSE!). Had you asked my hubby a few weeks ago, he'd have offered up a free blue front, no questions asked and NO givsies backsies :p He was a real demon this year, insatiable chewing up of anything he could get his beak on and much louder than typical for him and in a generally pissy mood. Ugh. Glad my buddy is regaining his sanity again. Parker will too, in time. In the meantime, maybe stock up your home bar? Gift your partner noise cancelling headphones? Invent a beak muzzle:D?
 
Hmmm... nothing yet from the Eclectic Duo. Though I hopefully haven't jinxed myself. Lol!

So were you able to calm things down upon getting home?
