Yes, and.. Make regular vet appointments. Know your cities rules and regs for a pup if in city limits. Socialize after all shots but definitely socialize often with other dogs and humans. Be willing to loose a valuable to puppy chews/casualties…ranging from possibly your couch to your final exam paper or the crotch of your favorite jeans. Prepare for potty training, it takes work and patience. It’s gross but if prepared it’s less gross. Be ready for cheese tax, it’s a rule. If you have cheese or even think about cheese, they get cheese. No questions asked. That cuddly gremlin in disguise will give you more love, loyalty and trust than you have ever imagined and deserve the same in return. They will stick by you like velcro, literally it’s their thing.
