Recently, I have become a fan of the kittens and puppies in the "A Day of Us" cartoon, and I really want to raise one like this. As a white-collar worker in a single apartment of a foreign company and an overtime worker, I know that it is difficult for God to fulfill this kind of wish. Although living in a small single apartment has successfully circumvented the objection of my parents, what I will face next is the daily life. The real problem of leaving your dog unattended at work!

I remember there was a beautiful pet shop near my home when I was a child. Every time I passed by, I could catch a glimpse of many cute dogs. What impressed me most as a child was the message posted on the door of the pet shop:

1. Before you pick me up with enthusiasm, please be mentally prepared. I will accompany you for about 15 years. Your departure will make me extremely painful;

2. Talk to me, I don’t know what you mean, but your voice is accompanying me, I at least understand this;

3. If I make you angry, don’t ignore me for too long. You have many friends and things to do, but you are the only one in my world; 4. Please trust me, my starting point is never to hurt you and the people you love;

5. Your kindness to me will turn into my loyalty, so you must remember

6. Please don’t beat or scold me unreasonably. You must know that my teeth are very sharp and can bite off the phalange you poke me, although I will never do that.

7. Before you blame me for being disobedient, stubborn, and clumsy, please think about whether I am not feeling well, or have not been able to play around you for too long, or I am very old;

8. When I am too old to move, don’t choose not to see me just to avoid the sadness in your heart. If you can be by my side, I will be extremely satisfied even in the most difficult moments. I will tell you with my eyes that I love you. You, if there is another life, I still want to be with you, because I love you so much...

Dogs are such an animal that people love and pity. When I think that I may not be able to make it happy, I can only keep giving up the idea of ​​raising a dog. After chatting with a colleague who is a master, I listened to some of her experience in raising dogs, and I feel It’s very useful, I want to share it with everyone, and I also want to use it to strengthen my courage to raise a dog!

As a novice dog owner + working overtime, the biggest difficulty in raising a dog is weak basic knowledge and lack of time to accompany the dog. A colleague said that dogs are actually far less dependent on their owners than we think. They can have a lot of free time to do what they like. For the owner, there is no guilt caused by the lack of enough companion time. Necessary!

Dogs should be raised well and not in good health. It is not recommended for dogs over 1 year old. Dogs have the strongest learning ability and memory when they are young. The same applies to puppies and adult dogs. EducationThe time cost and error correction cost must be the smallest for puppies, so novice owners must try to raise puppies as early as possible, otherwise it will become common to be complained by neighbors and have their homes turned upside down!

Don’t show off your new puppy everywhere and keep being tossed around in the hands of strangers. My colleague’s dog was adopted and was still a puppy when he first got it home. She said that before adopting a puppy, you should give it a comprehensive examination. If any problems or genetic diseases are found, you can return it at any time. Also, when you first get a milk cake, be careful not to show it off everywhere (this is some experience she summed up later). Constantly turning it around in the hands of strangers is not only detrimental to the health of the puppy, but also easy to Let it be confused about who its owner is, and try to reduce the chance of the dog coming into contact with other people before it recognizes its owner.

When a dog moves into a new home, of course, you must first prepare the necessary daily necessities for it so that the dog can live happily and comfortably at home. The first important thing is to give it a comfortable nest. A nest like a milk cake doesn’t need to be expensive or luxurious. It just needs to be simple and usable. You don’t even need to go to the supermarket to buy it. You can make it yourself. Find a suitably sized cardboard box, cut one side open, and let your dog crawl in and out of the cut hole. Put newspaper on the bottom of the carton, then lay a piece of cotton wool on the newspaper, and finally prepare a small blanket. Try to make the dog's nest as thick as possible. A nest that is too flat and hard will make the dog uncomfortable and be detrimental to its health. Its nest should be placed in a quiet and warm corner. This small space dedicated to it will make it feel relaxed and safe, and help it adapt to its new home as quickly as possible.

Concerning dog food, do not give puppies food that is too hard. The deciduous teeth of newly weaned puppies have not grown properly and they cannot eat ordinary dog ​​food, which can easily lead to indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, many people like to soak puppy food in water and then feed it to their dogs. High-quality dog ​​food generally contains a certain proportion of animal protein, has a good puffing process, and has high starch gelatinization. It can be soaked in less than half an hour and is not easy to soak. Be careful with dog food that does not soften even after soaking for 2-3 hours and is still elastic when you pinch it with your hands. It is likely that an adhesive has been added.

A colleague’s dog has tried several kinds of food, so she has a lot to say about dog food. She said her dog ate Royal Canin milk cake as a child. This food is highly hydrating and can be softened by soaking it in warm water for 15 minutes. It can even be chewed by a baby dog ​​whose teeth have not yet fully grown. It is also well puffed and not easy to soak, and will not make the owner's mouth full of mushy food. yes. The most important thing is that her master's stomach has always been good after eating this food, which saved her a lot of worry. They don't often vomit or have diarrhea like other puppies, and their owners have to take time off to take them to the hospital when they are at work.

​When the dog gets older, you can teach it skills. Every dog ​​has its strengths and characteristics. Not every dog ​​is lively and active and is born to be a master of catching Frisbees. Every dog ​​is smart and sensible enough to make you sit down with just a look. So you need to educate according to your dog’s personality. For example, if you have a French Bulldog, it is delicate and sensitive and needs more care from you; if you have a dog that is one of the three silly dogs (Alaska, Doggy, and Samoyed), then you may need a little more patience and sense of humor!< /p>

Being busy at work is not an excuse not to accompany your dog, but you should arrange your time reasonably. Dogs are different from cats. You can take them out to enjoy the wild life without delaying your meeting friends or going out on weekends. After all, dogs I want to get a dog again. Who wouldn’t like such a cute little dog!
