It’s finally happening: I’m preparing for a puppy of my own! Like many first-time pup parents, I’ve been lucky to grow up with family dogs in my childhood home, and there’s been a pooch-shaped hole in my life ever since I moved out. But, in just a few weeks, my husband and I will close the door on our dogless place one last time – and hop in the car to pick up our miniature schnauzer!
When you’re a kid in a dog-owning household, you don’t see the full extent of what your parents go through preparing for a puppy. Like any prospective dog mom, I want to create the best home for my furkid, and now that I'm the one doing the work on how to prepare for a puppy, there have been far more layers than I was expecting.
