Apparently Puppy was hitting people. Those who hit people have to sit in the time-out corner. Rules are rules.
Personally, I didn’t witness the crime, but Claire was very distressed and told me that Puppy needed a time-out…so a time-out he got. She put him in the corner and made me set the timer on the microwave for two minutes. (I don’t think Puppy was expecting Claire to rat him out so quickly…but she even tells on herself. Unfortunately for him, he learned his lesson the hard way.)

Clicking a second time will show even more detail.
I don’t think Puppy will hit anyone again. (Even though, if you ask me, he looks a little too happy for someone sitting in the time-out corner.) After the timer went off, he said he was sorry and gave me a kiss…so hopefully he’s learned his lesson.

Yeah, our girl likes to report to mom or dad on the things that the other told her she’s not supposed to do. The big one is electrical outlets (which have covers on them, of course). She and I will talk about them, and how they are dangerous, and when mom comes into the room, she’ll point out the outlet with as much emphasis as possible and yell, “NO — NOOOO!”
Just to make sure we both know about outlets.
Puppy in time out – that’s just adorable!
You have to start discipling those stuffed animals early on or they’ll run roughshod over you in latter years.
He looks pretty happy for being punished.
