Yes, I have read the various, and numerous, articles about Puppy Care. Of course I have gone to the library and checked out at least a dozen books about Puppies. There is no doubt I have researched puppy foods, treats, toys, beds, and pens. But, does this mean I know what I am about to get myself into? Most likely not. The articles are telling me what to do, how to react, what to expect; but what happens when I bring that oh-so-adorable puppy home and she poops all over my brand new rug? I mean, will I be able to shrug it off? I guess I will have to wait and see! Until then, I will start my puppy endeavor by reading all the material I can get my hands on. We all have questions, and sometimes the only way to acquire the answers is through allot of reading, tons of patience, and a good blog.
