The Christmas season is known for the season of gift
giving which makes all the kids and their parents excited. Every year, people
think of things they would like to give their loved ones and parents usually
think of giving pet dogs as presents to their children. And as expected, their
children begin to feel giddy once they see the cute little puppy dogs that
their parents had given them for Christmas.
Sadly, sometimes, parents and their children forget
that the cute puppies that they got for Christmas are more than just Christmas
presents. And it is only a few weeks after Christmas when reality begins to
kick in and the task of taking care of these puppies begins to turn into a
chore than a hobby. In fact, most of the problems are caused by the dogs like
the chewing of furniture, pooping and peeing everywhere, barking all the time
and the list just goes on and on.
Then, parents begin to ask themselves why they gave
their kids puppies when they are not yet old enough to take care of their own
pets. And sadly, what usually happens is that these cute little puppies during
Christmas turn out to be pet dogs who are left in the pound feeling unwanted
and unloved. The ending to such nice Christmas stories is a sad one not just
for the kids who lost their puppies because their too young to take care of
their own pets or for the dogs who just lost their chance to have their own
family.
If you are seriously considering having a dog, you
must be up and about to do all the things not just to keep them alive but to
make them feel a part of the family that you have. It is always best to think
about getting a dog long and hard. Having pet dogs is a very serious and big decision
that people take. It is not something that you decide one minute and decide
otherwise a minute after. Having puppies in your home takes serious commitment
not just for one but for all the other members of the family.
First, dogs come in so many different breeds and each
one has its specific needs that need to be fulfilled. Those that come from the
much larger breeds may need more house space, more activities for exercise and
an extremely larger amount of food. On the other hand, there are also dogs from
a much smaller breed that are sometimes considered as toy dogs because they are
usually fun to play with and they can move around so fast. Such smaller dogs
can be happily accommodated in small town houses, in flats or in medium-sized
apartments.
Second, there are kinds of dogs that require regular
visits to the dog groomers just to keep their outer coat in top condition. The
others only need occasional brushing of their hair and be showered every other
day.
Third, dog training plays a big part in owning dogs.
It is a very important that when you decide to have dogs as pets, you need to
be able to train them because if you don’t, you will be swarmed with so many
dog problems in the future. Christmas comes just once and year but having dogs
as pets is a lifetime commitment that is something that you should seriously
think about.
