Nothing puts a smile as wide as a skipping rope on my face than these lovely creatures, I never miss an opportunity to scratch behind their ears or rub their tummies or play with theirs tails, but if your dog weighs way more than u I’d advise against that. Lol (seriously, Don’t!)
Dogs have been around for many years, scientist date their first existence to 40,000 years ago…. To all you biology geeks, dogs belong to a family called CANIDAE a big happy family whose far distant includes wolves, foxes, and jackals, so if you own a Samoyed or seen Rin Tin and ever wondered why they share similarities with the wolf from little red riding hood, then you have your answer.
I have had a long standing experience with dogs, and as being man’s best friends they do share similarities with us, one of which is their proactive nature to reproduce, when God said to man to multiply and fill the earth, I suspect dogs were eavesdropping, a male dog “which for those of you who didn’t know is a dog and the female counterpart is called a bitch” can be responsible for in a calendar year 24 litters at least, to fully grasp that number, in the case of large breeds like mastiffs, a dog could be the sire to 288 puppies in one year, leaving all that responsibility to the dams, whew talk about proactive productivity.
There is a popular saying that says show me your friend and I will tell exactly who u are, these applies to dogs, you can glean certain characteristics about a person from just a few interactions with his dog, a well fed healthy dog shows that the owner is doing a darn good job especially if the well fed fat dog is an English mastiff, dogs are also loyal to a fault they will stand by and never desert their owners, no matter the level of love or brutality they endure, most importantly dogs are exceptional animals that are capable of keying into the emotions of humans, from the wiggling of their tails to their destructive nature, I used to tell a friend that dogs are the best comedians, not even Charlie chapman could best a naughty Chihuahua…… owning a dog comes with great responsibility, taking care of a dog is just as synonymous as taking care of a child, the can eat the house down and their poo smells the same lol….but dogs follow a simple principle what u give u get back 500 times, not even the modest or purest of humans can boast that.
To anyone who is pondering buying a dog, I would say it’s a darn good decision, but one has to choose the right dog, if u stay in a tiny one room apartment and then you go buy a great Dane as a pet, darn you’re asking for trouble, or if you are of a soft and lenient character and you decide to buy a Rottweiler, now that’s a recipe for disaster. Its highly imperative to factor who you are as an individual and how much money you can spare to take care of a dog before actually getting one, if you have a busy a schedule then buying a puppy isn’t the best option, your better of getting an adult dog from 1 years of age, if you stay in a small apartment get an equally small dog like a spaniel or French bulldog, cos dogs need lots of space, and most importantly the bigger your dog the more he/she eats, if you want an aggressive dog be sure that you as an owner are responsible and possess a stern mind-set, cos you have to show your dog whose boss … invest time and effort into training your dog, trust my words it gladdens my heart when I tell my dogs to sit and they actually do, or when they need to take a crap and they do it in designated corners, it makes my like easier, imagining waking up to a stench and spending 2 hours looking for dog poo, I could go on and on about this but I will rest my pen a bit, who uses pens anymore lol ……. next time we could talk about experiences with feeding dogs and on how you can pick and concoct the right dog meal so your pet remains healthy and well fed all at a very little cost to you………
