My husband has long been obsessed with German Shepherd dogs. He was never lucky enough to have a dog while growing up but his grandfather had many German Shepherds. Because of his grandfather's love for the breed, my hubby has always dreamed of having one.
I have always had pretty bad allergies so adopting a German Shepherd was not something I ever foresaw myself doing. The hubs and I had discussed getting a dog after we got married and somehow he convinced me that a German Shepherd Dog (GSD) was the way to go. I'm not really sure how it happened, but it did. And soon after we got back from our honeymoon we found ourselves going on a road trip to "look" at puppies.
Well, in case you didn't know, looking at puppies often leads to purchasing a puppy. There was no "looking" it was more like picking out which one we were bringing home with us. We both liked the same one for different reasons. I liked her because she was full of personality and he liked her because she was biting all the other puppies! It seemed like fate, both of us liking the same one. So we brought her home with us and called her Remmi.
Soon after we got Remmi I knew why puppies are made so darn cute! Raising a puppy isn't as easy as you think. I mean, I know it's not the same commitment as raising a baby, but in a way it kind of is. You need to teach it everything and watch it constantly. I wasn't quite ready for the challenge it brought, but we made it through all the challenges and puppy-hood and we have a great dog now.
Have you ever done something no realizing all the challenges that come along with it?
