A New To You Puppy...

Puppies can be one of life's greatest joys. They can make us smile and laugh when we're down, they can entertain us with their innocence, they can soothe our frazzled nerves.

Puppies can also be, at times, just another one of life's aggravations. They piddle and poop in our homes, they jump on us and nip at us, they frustrate and anger us with their cleverness, they sometimes grate on our already frazzled nerves.
