My Puppy Charlie

   For some reason I couldn't explain but I really wanted a puppy. Not to big or not to small. You know that little companion we all need? Well for Mother's Day my daughter got me one. He is the cutest puppy ever. My daughter named him Charlie and he is a Chihuahua-Terrier mix. When we brought him home, we provided Charlie with food, water, toys and a comfy bed with love. The first few nights were miserable the puppy would 'cry' and bark all night. So we would have to check on him and soothe him. All he needed was company and getting used to. After a while he got accustom to us and starting licking us-showing love and he even knows his name! Charlie is very playful and loves going to the park and meeting new friends. 
   If you're thinking about becoming a dog owner the right thing is to go to a shelter to adopt one or buy one
from a pet store. A daily reminder: your dog needs a lot of walking in the day and evening. So they can get fresh air, exercise and do their business outside instead of inside. I highly recommend puppy training pads if your schedule is busy and you don't have time to walk them. It is optional if  you want your dog to get sprayed/neutered and make sure they get their shots. Also make sure to provide fresh water at times.
