I second the walks idea
I walk my dog every day rain, snow or sunshine. You can't expect a dog to get exercise in a fenced in back yard, you must walk them every day. Does wonders for them emotionally and behavioraly.
Being close does not make it okay that she walks

I will try to avoid BEING on the phone when he walks in and if he
comes in while I am on the phone I release myself from the phone call just out of courtsey. My friend does the same thing. However, I am not afraid to talk on the phone while my husband is here. My girlfriend and I go for weeks without talking due to busy schedules, and once we find the time, we are on the phone for no less than a hour, usually more!!!
My older girl, Emerald, walks around like an old lady but
where I used to live we would get small mice (well, had a couple of big ones also before) and you would not think she could get up any speed but she sprang into action and was everywhere getting the mouse. At an ungodly hour 1 morning my hubby shouted out I just LOVE that cat and when I asked what in the world was going on, found out she had captured and killed a huge rat! He later on bought me the most precious gift I have ever gotten, came home with 2 brothers, black and white kittens who have grown into the more gorgeous boys. These 3 are so joyful to me. By the way, looked at the exotic cats on line before but after reading watch out when you open doors, even though they were beautiful, would hate to pay that much and zip out the door. My kids tell time also, every night around 8 when time to get off, they are right at my heels meowing. They know it is treat time.
what??? He walks out on his mom when she tells him to stay in the house, and do not ground him????
I am sorry, but she was absolutely right to ground him. He is hanging around with kids that are way older than him and drinking... You think it is okay to let that go?? I say he needs to learn that he is not the one in charge of this family and thatn Mom is... Every family has rules for their children and if the rules for that family are broken, it is the responsiblity of the parents to dish out the consequences. Yes encourage the good behavior and by all means tell them that you love them unconditionally every day (several times), but you are not their buddy, you are their parent
He's beautiful! Enjoy many happy hours of walks
