Went out with out thinking it through and got a puppy. Was kinda of gotta have one thing. Well he is not a cuddler lot of fun though. I did not listen to therapist 24 hour rule before decisions. I will deal with that tomorrow when I see her. I am lonely during the day when everyone is at work and wanted something to love. I hope I don't regret this.

Get yourself a good book on dog training. A well trained dog is a joy to live with!
In a short time, he will be your best buddy!

I have a 7 month old puppy. He is my best friend and buddy. I'm so glad I got him because he has cut a lot of the loneliness. It is a drag walking him in the rain, but there have to be some fallbacks nothing is perfect. You won't regret it. Use treats to teach him commands after 9 months he will be your special guy.

I feel your pain. I was getting ready to move 7 1/2 hours away from my home and I thought that it would be a great idea to get a puppy so that I could move a cat and a dog lol.

A well trained dog is an amazing companion. It can be motivation for you to be active and thereby reduce depression a smudge.

True kisses. My dobies got me out of the house at least 3 times a day. As they get bored easily I would take them to different areas for their walks & playtime.
It got me so motivated that I ended up joining a Hiking club, a Backpacking club and a Camping club. I would not have done it on my own if I didn't have a dog to take care of.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
