BirdWorld
Rollerblading along the road
So, usually I’d just stick to bird stuff but... I might get a puppy!
I have a bit of experience with dogs, I used to have a foster, but he was adopted a while ago. This isn’t an impulse buy, I’ve wanted a dog ever since the last one was adopted, and I’ve done a lot of research.
I will have to get my puppy from a breeder. While I would love to get one from a shelter, my mom is allergic so we need to get a hypoallergenic dog, and they don’t come up very often in shelters.
Anyway, we will be driving five hours to meet the puppy and his siblings on Saturday, and if all goes well, we will bring him home.
I have a question though; I would like to crate train our dog, but my mom believes in the theory that having a crate for the dog is imprisoning them. I don’t think this, I prefer to think of it as a safe place, or a bedroom. She would like to get a dog playpen (indoors, of course), and just put our puppy’s bed inside it.
What do you all think?
