temper tantrums and other puberty pains

My Eero is almost 10months old and he seems to be in the thick of nasty adolescence. However, last night I witnessed the most bizarre behavior by him, almost akin to a child throwing a temper tantrum.

After I had taken him on his evening walk, complete with a really good romp around the doggie park we go home and I start doing laundry. He runs ahead of me everywhere I am trying to walk and makes growly huffy whiney sounds and starts biting the runner rugs wildly and roll around like a possessed puppy. When I make the "I am disapproving of this behavior" sound, he just gets even more wild and rolls around like a child beating his fists at the ground and whining. Luckily this tantrum seemed to wear itself out after a few minutes and he returned to normal. I couldn't help but laugh, unfortunately.

Does anybody else have nutty/funny puppy puberty stories?

When Cha Yen was around that age, she would go and sit right in front of the TV and look at us with a look that said "what in the world could possibly be more interesting than me?" and then she'd bark at us. She also loves to walk all over our laptops while we're trying to type and we joke that she wants to create her own dog blog hehe!

Atlas throws temper tantrums all the time, especially if he is really tired after a long day running around at the dog park with Scout.
He'll lay in bed with us, and just when he's about to sleep, if we disturb him he'll bark and whine.
