Awwww… I just got a puppy this past Spring. He’s a Pug — “The cutest puppy in the world” according to some woman in the airport recently. Anyway, he practically goes everywhere with me now and I have become one of “those people”. He goes to “doggy daycare” when I’m at work (which he loves) and he travels with me. He goes to the hairdresser with me where he’s pampered by all the hairdressers. The fact is that he arrived on the scene and stole everyone’s hearts. I can’t imagine not having him now and I can’t believe he’s mine most of the time.

Go for it!

We just got a puppy this past March. There are pictures of him on my blog, if you scroll down a few posts. He’s a Boston Terrier. I was really worried about the whole housebreaking process and just having to train a new puppy. I had never done that before. All I can say is that it is amazingly like bringing your first baby home from the hospital. They go from infant to toddler to teenager rather quickly, though. Put in the effort that first year and you will have a great dog. I suggest the New Skeet Monks’ books about puppy and dog training. You can find them at Amazon.com. They really helped us out with training our puppy and kept us all consistent.

We just got a new puppy, too, and LOVE HER. I posted a pic of her yesterday. It’s very important to get a pet matched to the owner’s, as well. Your dog looks really handsome!

I was never much of a dog person either. But when we got Smokie everything changed. He has stolen my heart and I am now one of “those people” who treats their dog like a human. Let yourself go and you will fall in love with your puppy!
My T13 is posted.

And there’s nothing like the love of a pet. They just think you’re great – even when no one else does.
