Her name is China. She’s 5 months old, 35 pounds, and fortunately, does not have rabies.
This is us beginning the “obey us” training where she learns all sorts of neat tricks like sitting and responding to her name.
She started out rather frightened of the stairs, for some reason, but seems to have gotten over that. Then we tuckered her out with a romp in the nearby park. A little house-breaking seems to be in order, but she seems to be a quick learner. Good thing we have all wood floors.
Oh, and she likes to chase pigeons. Thus we have now become that “couple-with-a-pet-in-lieu-of-kids.” Anyone out there want to debate over which is easier to raise? Children or puppies?
I see that smile.
Let’s see.
I raised you and three other children.
Pets are easier–in the sense that they learn obedience much sooner then children do.
But children are much more rewarding.
I am, however, not hinting.
Take your time.
Considering the things I’ve put my mother through . . .
Puppies, hands down, are easier.
i have to agree with your previous two comments… no argument here!
