Get a puppy they said, it’ll be fun they said. Yes, we’ve now got a puppy and he is called Bear. Dan and I have been talking about it since we moved in about a year and a half ago. I grew up with dogs so I really missed having a little ball of fluff follow me everywhere.
We went for a cavapoo. He’s half Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and half Toy Poodle. We went for a cavapoo for a number of reasons, they don’t shed much hair (winning), they’re easy to train, good with kids and can be left at home for a short period. He’s been in our lives for 4 weeks now and is 14 weeks old, which is why I thought it was appropriate to share this post.
Having a puppy is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life from the lack of sleep, to the accidents in the house, you really don’t know what to expect until it hits you square in the face. The first night we didn’t have much sleep at all, in fact he cried and yelped for most of it. Since then he’s been a lot better and only gets us up once at the most. He sleeps in his crate downstairs at night which he surprisingly loves (I’m not complaining!) and since we’ve been able to walk him, it’s become a lot easier to tire him out and not give him as much attention - I couldn’t go for a wee without him sitting outside the door.
Bear’s just started puppy training. I’ve always wanted to get our dog trained as much as possible. He’ll sit, stay, down, come, roll over and come close which I think is such an achievement seeing as we’ve only had him for 4 weeks!
So there’s my 4 week update with the pooch. I’m sure I’ll keep you updated further down the line. Do you have a puppy?
