"Puppy just destroyed his 3rd kennel... cripes he's powerful"
Now he hasn't shared much about the puppy in some time. Last we spoke about puppy many weeks ago is that he wasn't crating him because he destroyed the 2nd kennel and he was doing well not being kenneled.
So according to Gottman these types of interactions are called "bids". I recognize that I was not always the best at responding to "bids" in the past not understanding them.
For whatever reason he felt the need to reach out and share this event with me because - I would get it? Having raised this puppy and knowing his particular challenges I would sympathize with the situation, find it interesting, etc?
I would even go so far as he sent the text without really thinking about it? Just out of frustration in the moment?
