I’ve been thinking about getting a pet dog. Its been 6 years since my “Lucky” when to doggy heaven. I’ve been told by many, including my father that I should get an anchor in my life. (ie. Get married). However, I was thinking a puppy could be such an anchor too. All the responsibilities and time required, might make me settle a little more, stop hanging out late at night and sleeping in the next day.
Ah the responsibilities and time required! Toilet training, feeding, cleaning. This has kept me pondering for the past 4 months whether I should and if I could not live up to the responsibilities how unfair to the puppy it would be. Then yesterday I realised, living up to the responsibility was the whole point of getting the puppy.
Ah the toilet training, feeding, cleaning! I found this on the internet. I did not know they existed but what a great idea it is.
Then there is the question of which breed to get? Lucky was a Golden Retriever, Laura was a Dalmatian, Ringo was a Mongrel. I was think another Goldie, as they are just such gentle dogs. Or maybe a German Shepherd.
Then there is a male or female? (headache starting) People have said, males might go around the house marking, even though they have been toilet trained (I would like a “live in house” dog) thus a male might get messy.
so many things to think about. Maybe another 4 months more of thinking.
