Hi.
Even though the summer finished long time ago, the dog days began in my life anew. My first, beloved dog, which was in my family during the last 10 years, died in July. Even before it's death, it was described by us as an ,,iconic" and ,,unique". It captured our attention like no one else. Of course, when our pug was getting older, we were predicting that it has to happen one day, but it's never possible to be prepared...
After weeks of searching and contemplating breed, I decided at last to adopt a puppy - a mutt. I didn't want another pug which would of course be compared with the first one. But on the other hand, home without dog was so empty... So, one october sunday, little black furball appeared. A result of unplanned pregnant which is unluckily still so common among country dogs.
Luna turned out to be a very smart dog. As every ,,puppy-raising-manual" says, it quickly started to accomodate to the family. At the beginning we were taking it for a walk every hour, which was sometimes challenging, but it brought benefits. It is 4 months old and it doesn't pee at home any more. And it's completly diffrent from the staid, phlegmatic pug - to make use of its energy it is necessary to play and walking with it a couple of hours a day. Dog is men's best friend - I can endorse it for sure. But it also changes lifestyle a lot. If you are not an early bird... If you travel a lot... If you are famous for a flash in the pan... Think it through once again.
Christmas are coming so in the end I want to remind you: DOG IS NOT A GIFT. The problem of abandoned puppies - misguided presents - comes back every year. Promise your children a pet - but a stuffed one. Watch the short movie which I uploded - it is really moving...
