You see it all the time on here, 'help my dog is ruining my carpets, how can I find someone to take him?' 'Anyone want my dog, he's chewing my shoes', etc. I really wish people would really sit down and think about what it actually means to raise a puppy before they jump up and go grab the first cute little furball they see.
We're bringing home a puppy in a week and I've already been trying to mentally prepare myself. Yes, I'm nervous about how much work it's going to be - but I think that's good because I KNOW it's going to be a lot of work, somethings in my house are going to get ruined, I'm going to have a lot of training to do, I'm not going to get much sleep, etc. and I'm getting ready for it. I've decided to raise another dog and I've made the choice to be fully commited to him for his entire life - and anything that comes along with that.
I guess this is also going out to all those who are thinking about getting a puppy soon. Just some thoughts :)
