So, what else can a bored housefrau do apart from cleaning (sometimes), cooking (a lot) and playing online games (constantly)? Why get a puppy, of course!
We got a cute bear-type chow chow puppy, not really what we set out to get; we originally wanted a lazy pug that we'd fatten up and let sleep in the apartment all day. But a pug wasn't meant to be as there was a fresh batch of chow chow puppies in the pet store that we looked in. A herd of healthy, fluffy, yappy puppies greeted us when we went inside the store that we just couldn't help but scoop one up in our arms and carry him home.
When we bought him, I wasn't aware that it's not advisable to buy a puppy from a petshop because you can't really prove the pedigree of the animals there, and of course the whole russian roulette health thing. I wish I read about that before we got our Negishi, but it was an impulse buy and it's too late to give him back. Thankfully, he's still quite nippy and lively and bouncy; I hope he stays healthy.
We named our little furbaby Negishi - one of my most favorite movie characters - and he is just a fuzzy bundle of joy and a virtual poop and pee machine. Husband, who lived in a dog-filled house, is a bit sensitive when it comes to doggy smell in the house so I pick up and wipe down Negishi's mess as soon as it happens so the smell won't hang around the house.
Well, I just can't help but gush over our new furbaby. Sometimes, husband and I just stare while he sleeps oh-so-cutely and just sigh and giggle over our pup.
