At a certain point in your adult life, you realize you can get a puppy.
You’ve wanted one for years. You’ve spent months pouring over super cute dog blogs stalking Petfinder.com for the perfect one to rescue. Then one night it hits you: You don’t need permission. You don’t have to beg and whine to anyone! —unless you’re in a relationship or have a roommate, because then you will still have to plead your case.
If you want a puppy, you can get a puppy! Hell, you’re a responsible adult. There are a million reasons to rescue a dog, most of them beginning with “squee!!” and ending with “awww!”
But remember that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and you can’t train a puppy not to need a walk when you’re hung over. Here are the best and worst reasons to rescue a dog.
Ah you cannot beat a Border Colly our baby girl called daisy. http://www.gatwickcarhire.org.uk
I am thinking about getting a puppy, I know it will be hard work but I am prepared! I want a small dog so it wont get too big! I was thinking of a Border Terrier!

There are crazy cat ladies and there are crazy dog ladies. I am a crazy dog lady. I have two. I really liked this slideshow, but as for the teaching old dogs new tricks thing, old dogs can definitely learn new tricks haha trust me. I have a 5-6 year old pug and she has trained me to do her bidding.
As cute as a brand new puppy is, there are SO MANY dogs given up by unready owners who need our help. PLEASE adopt a pet from a shelter, please help an animal who needs you, and please stop supporting the unnecessary breeding and puppy-mills.
That puppy in number 8 that pomeranian type is the worst. Some friends brought one over a while back EVEN THOUGH I have the most badass cat ruling the kingdom of my house and the stupid little dog kept humping everything. Especially me. I bet it knew I didn’t like it so it humped me extra. I can’t stand tend. [/rant]
I can’t stand *them.
You could substitute babies in all those photos and not need to change the words, no?
Except 10 best. There’s no guarantee your kid will like you when it gets old enough to have a mind of its own.
if you do decide to get one …. http://www.webvet.com/main/2008/09/09/getting-new-puppy
