If puppies aren’t one of the most joyous creations on this planet, I don’t know what is. Puppies have more fun than should be legal.
Think about the average day for a puppy. They wake up pretty much when they want to, doesn’t matter if it is 4 AM or 9 AM. Pretty much all they have to do is let out a little yelp and their person is there to take care of them. Don’t hammer me with whether it’s right to respond to them always, etc. I’m not writing a training blog here, just a puppy blog!
So after they’re done eating, their person takes them outside for their “business”. Actually a lot of times they just do their business anywhere they want to, until they are trained properly. While they’re small enough they are usually actually carried outside to do their “business”. Isn’t that nice having someone pick you up and carry you to the bathroom?
What comes after that? Playtime usually. And playtime for a puppy can just be running around, discovering, digging, falling, climbing, etc. Just about everything but getting checked for worms is fun to a puppy!
And then there’s the love. Any half-decent dog owner showers their puppy with love. How could you not? No matter if it is an AKC dog or a mutt, they’re just isn’t an ugly puppy out there. Who can resist loving on a creature with puppy eyes? There’s even something about their bad breath that’s lovable.
Then there’s all the mischief puppies can get into, until they get caught, Chewing up shoes, drapes, furniture, kitchen utensils, etc. One should be so lucky.
So after all this it must be time for a nap. Yeah, that’s right, after nothing but fun puppies go right back to sleep. If they’re really lucky it might even be in their person’s bed.
Now repeat the routine all over again.
They say “it’s a dog’s life” to describe a pampered existence. Then a puppy’s life must be Utopia.
So here’s wishing everyone a moment, a day, a week, or an eternity of living a puppy’s life…well, except for the going to the bathroom wherever you want part.
