BOOMER!

This is Boomer! He is a 9 week Golden Retriever and is very gentle, sweet, smart, and adorable! WE like to call him Boomy, Boom Boom, and Little Bear! He may be small now, but he will most likely be about 80 pounds! He already knows how to sit, stay, and lie down, and is close to being potty-trained.

I brought Boomer home when he was six weeks. I didn't adopt him because I really wanted a purebred because I have never had one before. It's hard to find purebred Golden  puppies in my area, even at retriever rescues, where they 95% of the time have only adults.

 Anyways, Boomer adapted IMMEDIATELY and had already had a comfortable slide into dry puppy chow. He does not have a biting problem or eating problem OR social problem, so don't believe all that you hear about early pups. Boomer LOOOOOOVES water and he splashes around in the little kiddie pool we bought him. However, there is absolutely NOTHING he loves more than food :D

If you want a perfect purebred, get a Golden Retriever! They are genius and adorable!!!

L<3VE YO PUPPY!!!!

BINGO!

This is my Border Collie/Jack Russell Terrier mix. His name is Bingo! Annnnddd, several other things like Dingo, Dingaling, Bing Bong, and Stupid. :)

However, he isn't that stupid, he knows a lot of tricks and lots of words, thanks to his genius parents. Also thanks to his parents, he can jump 4 feet in the air with no problems, runs in circles for no reason, and his fur grows out long, shedding a lot.

 We adopted Bingo from Petsmart when he was eight weeks old, so we don't know EXACTLY what he's mixed with, but we know for sure Border Collie and Jack Russell. He NEVER bit anyone even as a puppy. He is very cute and sweet and loves everybody, except for people he knows aren't good.

He is very happy with his new BFF Boomer the Golden Retriever and is gentle with him. He is the PERFECT size dog with a great temperament and lots of love. Now, Bingo is almost 4 years old and has at least 10 happy years to go!

Boomer and Bingo sharing the bed ;) So Cute!These are the best kinds of dogs!!!

How To: Make An Awesome Puppy Toy!

Squeaky toys losing their squeak? Tennis balls losing their bounce? Are the toys just too old school for your pup? Well that problem can now be solved with this amazing way to entertain your pup (or dog) for hours! It's perfect for tackling, chewing, throwing, rolling and puppy fun!WARNING: LOUD!


WHAT YOU NEED:

• Empty soda bottle
• Duct tape
• Marbles, nuts/bolts, treats, pieces of food, or anything that makes noise
• Rolled stick chew (you can buy at Target or Walmart)

 

 

HOW TO MAKE

1. Wash out the empty bottle
2. Open the lid, and throw in some loud noisy things (listed above) and close the lid
3. Wrap the duct tape around the bottle, but mainly around the lid area
4. Before you finish wrapping it aroud the lid, place the end of a rolled stick chew next to the lid, then wrap the duct tape around another few times (make it stick up in the air so it is easy to grab with a puppy mouth :])
5. Shake for your puppy and enjoy!

NOTE: WHEN YOUR PUPPY FINISHES THE FIRST CHEW, JUST ADD ANOTHER ONE WITH A BIT OF DUCT TAPE

 

ANOTHER NOTE: WATCH YOUR PUPPY WHILE HE PLAYS WITH THIS TOY, JUST IN CASE HE FIGURES OUT HOW TO BREAK IT OR EAT IT

 

This is my 9-week-old Golden Retriever, Boomer and his favorite toy!



15 WAYS NOT TO RUIN YOUR PUPPY

These are all very good points and will help you raise a healthier, happier dog. However, in Number One, it says that puppies should NOT be taken before eight weeks, however, you can actually take take your pup home at six or seven weeks, but there are a few catches.

 

 Taking your pup early is tricky business, so usually, eight weeks is standard. But, if you really miss that pup or need it for X-mas, I have some help. But before anything, know this: IT DEPENDS ON THE DOG, THE BREEDER, AND SOMETIMES THE BREED! You need to be able to trust your breeder and your dog's health and happiness level to be taken early. Make sure your breeder gives you the "go ahead" before you start thinking about it. Taking your puppy early can cause more midnight crying, more biting, more peeing inside and sometimes even wariness of the owner and other people.
