I grew up having dogs and I loved having them. However it was never my job to train them, they were just there for me to play with.
I never had a dog as an adult. I still enjoyed being around them but I guess I never wanted the responsibility of taking care of it.
So when my husband ( a dog lover and someone who has had dogs and raised them) and my daughter who was at a good age to help and be responsible for some of the dog duties wanted to get a puppy I was fine with it. I would be fine either way- get it or don’t, whatever.
So we got a puppy; actually my first blog was about our puppy. We’ve had her 25 days so far.
Turns out this puppy that I was ok with getting or not getting- I couldn’t imagine not getting!
Yes she has been extra work and yes it at times has been frustrating training her but she has been a joy!
She is actually doing well with her training so far and is quite the snuggler and lover.
Don’t think I’ll ever be okay with not getting a dog again..
The best thing is that you have this time to train and work with her. It couldn’t be more perfect! I hope you guys are having fun! The puppy stage was hard, and although it is not perfect now, it is much better! No more chewing!
