My Puppy Dogs and I

 So you want to get a dog?  I am glad you are here to know everything you need to know before rushing into this big decision! I am going to lead you through a series of questions to help you see if getting a dog right now is a good or bad idea. I don't want to ruin your dreams of owning a special furry friend, but I do want to be realistic about whether getting a dog right now is good for you, and the future dog.  What does my work schedule look like? This is one of the best questions you could ask yourself! I know that for some people, they need to be at work all day, and that is fine, but not for your dog. The number one thing your dog needs from you is your time! Dogs can't be in their kennels all day; they need breaks for play, socialization, and exercise.

Let me tell you, I have experienced the same frantic feeling of hopelessness and confusion. Or maybe you have seen those viral videos of French Bulldogs going absolutely crazy and your wondering why. Let me tell you the reason why your dog does this, and how to deal with it. When your dog is running around the house, going nuts, there is an actual name for this, it is called Frenetic Random Activity Periods, or FRAP's. Also known as the zoomies.  Hilarious, right?! The American Kennel Club describes the zoomies as "frantic, repetitive...

 Hello friends and readers! I am so excited to tell you one of my favourite stories. The story of how I got my first (and second) dog. But before I begin, let me tell you a little bit about me. My name is Alexi, and my top five favourite things have got to be writing, reading, family, dogs, and of course my faith in Jesus. So it seemed fitting that I start a blog about my puppy dogs and I. I live on a small acreage with my family of seven (including myself) and my grandparents. Enough about me, let's get into my dogs life stories.      I haven't grown up with dogs, in fact, I used to be terrified of them. But that changed when my family moved out to the country and got our first dog Sadie. But this story isn't of our black Labrador Retriever, although I'm sure you will hear more of her later. This story is fast forward to last year. 2020. We were on a family vacation when my parents and I had this amazing idea, I should get into puppy breeding. This was such a great ...
