Several months back, I wrote a blog about helpful tips on preparing your dog for a new baby's arrival. This is a follow up to that blog with more of Jeremy's, my husband, and my experiences in the matter.
I often think working at PetSolutions is kind of like working at a zoo. Between the animals we sell and the pets brought in by co-workers for photo shoots or visits, I am exposed to many different types and breeds of animals that make great pets, even if I never considered some of them before. Because of this experience, I want share the different pets I get to see at our “zoo.”
My husband and I found out in November 2010 that we are expecting our first child! We are delighted about the news, but we feel that our dogs, Petey and Harley, have been like our children. In fact, you could say for the past 10 years, we’ve been “parents” to them.
Who doesn't enjoy a good party? I know I love a great celebration. My dogs, Petey and Harley, love being included in our festivities, and enjoy having related dog stuff there for them to play with. They love all the attention they get from our guests, plus the special treats they receive.
Getting a new puppy is an exciting time, but your other dog might not share the same enthusiasm. He may view this new addition as a threat, instead of as a new playmate. Your older dog may experience stress, since a new pup may change his established routine.
