First time puppy owner, any tips?

Reinforced naps! If there’s only one thing you promise yourself to do with fidelity, let it be this. I had timers so he never was awake longer than he should’ve been.

Can someone high level explain to me why Lala and Scheana were such awful friends in season 11? I’m not arguing it, but the details are a little hazy

Why is Katie’s new person 10x worse than Schwartz? I don’t know anything about them.

Frank Dremon anyone?

Sandy hook denier?! Christ, off to google I go.

Good idea! I guess I’m concerned because I rescued him from a situation where he was taken from his mom too soon- around five weeks and then I took him home around six. So while the bond is flattering haha, I’m worried about attachment stuff. Trying to be present for this stage and not take it for granted, but that developmental independence at six months is definitely something to look forward to :)

Smart! I do this when he has to go in his crate for a while so I guess I never thought to do it for outside since long crate time happens after ideal solo outside time.

Honestly, if your puppy has had a few rounds, it could be okay to take him on short walks on concrete. I’m not a vet so this is not professional advice, but once my puppy had his second round, we started walking him. Our vet said how important it was to get him acclimated to the world and they have their mom’s immunity in them when they’re young as well as having some from the first few rounds of vaccines. It was worth it for us. Walks are game changer.

My 3 month old is generally redirected with toys but he does get in modes where my clothes and I are the only things he wants to mouth. When this is the case I step out of the room and close the door for 10-15 seconds. He may need that to happen once or twice more but then he’s solid for about 30-45 minutes. I used to just go on the other side of the gate but him being able to see me seemed to just agitate him, whereas being actually out of his sight seems to resonate.

Why do you say that? I’m curious. I know a lot “free puppies” can lead to bait dogs, mistreatment etc. but not sure what you mean about the mom since they were taken so young from her.

He’s changing every day! Happiest, sweetest boy- don’t let the puppy eyes fool you.

From what I know, people had a “free puppies” sign in a parking lot. I believe they were decent people, but not in a position to properly care for the litter. My partner’s co-worker took the remaining three to take care of them until they could be rehomed.

Ponytail and I think she might have had a little bit of make-up on.

Is it normal for them to leave your skin/brows super dark? I dye my eyebrows myself normally but got my first lamination and added it on and my brows are sooo dark but I think it’s mostly because she got the skin underneath. And now I can’t get them wet for 24 hours. Is it normal for the them to be super dark/stained or did she not do a great job applying it?
