Hello iJustine!
Follow u on twittr cuz you are the most entertaining personnage there! period! : )
ijustine, i noticed u really want a puppy. very cool. but i also read about your precious one eyed goldfish…
so sorry he / she passed away. Sooo adorable. they require special care sometimes. i wish someone could have helped you with that precious little guy-gal. sigh! (yes, i’m an animal nut.) no “cracked” jokes pleez…
So…. if u get a puppy, they DO need lots of loving care and attention. If u travel, (s)he will suffer greatly. Best idea? Have TWO PUPS so they can always be together.
It’s the best thing ever, in fact, even if you’re home all the time! They live for companionship and family packhood.
Dogs are so social, full of loving need. It weigh so heavily on their little doggy souls when they’re all alone waiting for master or mistress.
Cats, not so much… Although one should always have 2 cats as well for their purest joyful living. They DO take great comfort in each other.
i have a cat, dog and hamster… they love each other and if we’re gone, they lay together in solace. : ) pics (here) (woops don’t know how to insert link)
anyway, ur the best ijustine, keep up the heeelarius work as the world needs lots of cheering up.
And oh - there’s not ever any need to hit a dog to train them - just let all your first nos be gently firm and irrevocable, and they will soon get the hint that you are person of your softspoken word.
If u let them get away with 1 thing, like all kids they will try to “push the envelope.”
No need to ever yell, even. Just make them do what you need over and over, patient as pie.
Then, as doggies do, they will try their little hearts out to please and love you to infinity.
Love,
Cdin
