Woo Hoo!
Who DOESN’T love a good puppy pic?
Here’s my contribution to this day. These are the two pups that we adopted just about three years ago. They are sisters and we just couldn’t handle the thought of somebody leaving one behind, so we took them both home. Hint: don’t adopt two small puppies and try to train them in the middle of winter!
They do almost everything together at the same time. When walking, they change direction and veer off, curving together. They cock their heads at the same time and both relax with their back right leg sticking out behind them. They have separation anxiety and can’t be apart, EVER. This gave ME anxiety about what will happen one day when they have to be apart, but the vet reassured us that there’s nothing wrong with it. He said that they’d get over it they were ready. In fact, a mere three years later and they can now be in separate rooms from each other, but that’s as far as they’ll go.
I’m not going to admit that my pups are spoiled, but they sit and stare me down several times daily until I agree to cuddle them. I’ve tried to outlast them, but I’m embarrassed to say that we’re about even at this point.
Yes, puppies can be hard. They can be messy, they can be expensive, and they can be a pain in the butt sometimes. It’s a small price to pay for their love and their loyalty.
I would love to hear about your puppy stories; feel free to share here.
Happy Puppy Day!
