My puppy, Sasha, is a French bulldog. I got her almost one year ago on my birthday as a gift from my husband, Gary. I was ecstatic upon opening a big box that had secretly been ventilated to find that it had a 7-week-old puppy inside. She was wearing a lavender dog collar with tags that read “Sasha,” the name of my favorite stuffed animal growing up. And now it was almost as if she had come to life.
After admiring my new four-legged friend for several hours we promptly went to the pet store to pick up the necessities for Sasha’s wellbeing. On our list was: food and water bowls as well as puppy chow, a dog exercise pen, a cozy puppy bed, a matching lavender leash and a few toys. I was so excited I forgot to get any grooming supplies, oh well; I knew I could find them online.
It’s no secret that animals, specifically dogs, love to play around with their owners. From puppies to grandpa pooches, every dog embodies a pep and free spirit that is lovable by nature and tender to humans. Give them a bone and watch as they chomp the rawhide with delight or toss them a ball to see them jolt after it in a joyous frenzy. No matter the toy, no matter the dog, all pups (young and old) love to play.
After a long day playful exertion, it’s best to reward your pooch with a soft and comfy place to rest. A dog bed gives them a tiny piece of paradise that they know as their own, a place to rest their tired paws after an afternoon at the dog park or after a vigorous walk. Satisfy your pet with a warm and cozy place to call their own and their tails will always be wagging to see you.
