How to own a puppy
How I did it: The BF and I picked out the cutest beagle in the world. She's also naughty and loud, but we love her to pieces... <3
The first month was surprisingly difficult and exhausting because we were new dog owners. It took lots of patience and understanding.
Lessons & tips:
- ADOPT if possible <3
- don't forget TLC!
- exercise is important and they appreciate when you walk them
- please don't ever mistreat an animal. Remember that you are the parent and they rely on you for a good, healthy, safe life.
- take the time to research on how to take care of particular breeds and what to/what not to do
- beware of socks and strings because they can tie up in the stomach (which can kill them or create an expensive surgery bill)
- GREENIES are hazardous! They get stuck in the stomach and could also kill :(
- too much corn in the diet may be the reason behind a hyperactive dog
Resources: Books, internet, trainers, anyone with dog experience (I ask questions like no other)
