Everyone Loves Adding A New Fur Baby To The Family, But Nobody Loves These 10 Things Every Puppy Needs

In This Article:

So getting a new puppy is probably one of the most exciting things EVER. For my family, we lost a dog to old age but still had another older dog. He was missing his friend so we decided to get a new dog to keep him company! But, since we've had the same dogs for 10+ years we completely forgot about the struggles of having a new puppy. Here are some of the things we have encountered in these last few weeks with our new addition:

1. Trying, well attempting, to potty train.

You forget how small their bladers are and how they find the need to go anytime and anywhere!

2. Puppies have their teeth coming in which means they are trying to bite everything.

Ankles, fingers, ears, clothing, nothing is off limits.

3. No matter when or where, it is ALWAYS play time!

Especially at 3 a.m., that's clearly the best time to play!

4. SEPARATION ANXIETY is a huge problem.

You will have to deal with a lot of crying at first (for maybe you and the puppy).

5. It is impossible to stay mad at your new family member.

No matter what she breaks or tears up she is still the cutest thing EVER!

6. Our new puppy loves our older dog, our older dog is trying to tolerate the puppy.

Maybe one day they'll become best friends?

7. I swear puppies have a death wish.

They are completely fearless and always want to go on an adventure through the house.

8. You will freak out whenever they are out of sight and you hear a loud noise.

*mini anxiety attack wondering what puppy got into* and then you have to immediately go search for puppy.

9. Be prepared for your phone to be dedicated to new puppy pictures.

And all those pictures will probably also get posted on social media.....

10. All puppies must grow up one day.

Enjoy the ups and downs while they last... you're going to miss the puppy days!

There are a few struggles with having a new puppy but they are all worth it for your new family member.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
