Had me laughing my head off! How I know about puppies. After not having a dog for years I decided to get one. Actually somone brought a picture of these 13 puppies. My son and I went to "just look at them" Ha! She came home with us that day. She was very quick to learn. It was winter, (the best time to get a puppy ) She was easy to house train. Out and in. She did her business then wanted to play outside. Within maybe 2 weeks no problems. She had to play for a half hour before going out again and then bed. Teething was painfull. lol The only trouble is when they reach the 6 month mark they forget how to sit ,lay down, and come commands. And you start all over. Priceless. I'd do it again in a flash. We fostered for the SPCA. Had about 100 puppies in a 2 year period. They all went back at 10 weeks old house trained. All were adopted before we took them back. Between puppies and babies I think it is about the same amount of commitment. They just don't talk back...............much! lol
