Our Puppy Tale
I am a Puppy; this means that my intelligence and capacity for learning are the same as an 8-month-old child.
I am a Puppy; I will chew EVERYTHING I can get my teeth on. This is how I explore and learn about the
world. Even HUMAN children put things in their mouths. It's up to you to guide me to what is mine to chew and
what is not.
I am a Puppy; I cannot hold my bladder for longer than 1-2 hours. I cannot "feel" that I need to poop until it
is actually beginning to come out. I cannot vocalize nor tell you that I need to go, and I cannot have "bladder and
bowel control" until 6-9 months. Do not punish me if you have not let me out for 3 hours and I tinkle. It is your
fault. As a Puppy it is wise to remember that I NEED to go potty after: Eating, Sleeping, Playing, Drinking and
around every 2-3 hours in addition. If you want me to sleep through the night, then do not give me water after 7
or 8pm. A crate will help me learn to housebreak easier, and will avoid you being mad at me.
I am a Puppy; accidents WILL happen, please be patient with me! In time I will learn.
I am a Puppy; I like to play. I will run around, and chase imaginary monsters, and chase your feet and your
toes and 'attack' you, and chase fuzzballs, other pets, and small kids. It is play; it's what I do. Do not be mad at
me or expect me to be sedate, mellow and sleep all day. If my high energy level is too much for you, maybe you
could consider an older rescue from a shelter or Rescue group. My play is beneficial, use your wisdom to guide
me in my play with appropriate toys, and activities like chasing a rolling ball, or gentle tug games, or plenty of
chew toys for me. If I nip you too hard, talk to me in "dog talk," by giving a loud YELP, I will usually get the
message, as this is how dogs communicate with one another. If I get to rough simply ignore me for a few
moments, or put me in my crate with an appropriate chew toy.
I am a Puppy; hopefully you would not yell, hit, strike, kick or beat a 6-month-old human infant so please do
not do the same to me. I am delicate, and also very impressionable. If you treat me harshly now, I will grow up
learning to fear being hit, spanked, kicked or beaten. Instead, please guide me with encouragement, and wisdom.
(For instance, if I am chewing something wrong, say, "No chew!" and hand me a toy I CAN chew) better yet, pick
up ANYTHING that you do not want me to get into. I can't tell the difference between your old sock and your
new sock, or an old sneaker and your $200 Nikes.
I am a Puppy; and I am a creature with feelings, and drives much like your own, but yet also very different.
Although I am NOT a human in a dog suit, neither am I an unfeeling robot who can instantly obey your every whim.
I truly DO want to please you, and be a part of your family, and your life. You got me (I hope) because you want a
loving partner and companion, so do not relegate me to the backyard when I get bigger, do not judge me harshly
but instead mold me with gentleness and guidelines and training into the kind of family member you want me to
be.
I am a Puppy; and I am not perfect, and I know you are not perfect either. I Love you anyway. So please,
learn all you can about training, and puppy behaviors and caring for me from your Veterinarian, books on dog care
and even researching on the computer! Learn about my particular breed and it's "characteristics" it will give you
understanding and insight into WHY I do the things I do. Please teach me with love, and patience, the right way
to behave and socialize me with training in a puppy class or obedience class, we will BOTH have a lot of fun
together.
I am a Puppy; and I want more than anything to love you, to be with you, and to please you. Won't you please
take time to understand how I work? We are the same you and I, in that we both feel hunger, pain, thirst,
discomfort, fear, but yet we are also very different and must work to understand one another's language, body
signals, wants and needs. Someday I will be a handsome dog, hopefully one you can be proud of and one that you
will love as much as I love you.
Love,
Your Puppy
