Would you ever let an adopted child live with a notion that
he not the part of your family? Most of us would have ‘no’ as an answer to this
question. If you are foster parent to a kid and love him like ‘he is the most important
part of your life’ then, you it would be easy for you to keep an open heart
towards an adopted puppy. Trust me, it not difficult to do so if you are an
affectionate human being. What I want to say here is, whether you have
purchased a puppy or adopted a stray dog, the puppy has the right for being
loved. Just do not let him feel that you are foster parents to him; treat him
like he is an important part of your family.
Your very small gestures can make your puppy feel that he is
not there to be neglected or meagerly as a source of entertainment. I am not
asking you spent grands; these are some very small things that require your
keen attention. Here they are:
Try to look at him
when he is looking at you:
Yes, not a very difficult thing
to do!!! It is just the way of reciprocating to the love that your dog has in
his eyes for you. Talk to him, ask him what he needs and behold that beautiful
sight. Your dog also stares at you to communicate that he needs somethings. If you
are able to understand that, your dog is convinced that you love him.
Feed him and feed him well:
You have royal canine, you have
chew sticks and you have biscuits to keep your pup healthy. But, keeping him
fit is your way of showing that you love him, which he might not understand. Try
his way and share the food you have in your platter with your dog. I am not
asking you to feed him Manchurian with schezwan sauce. But, a piece of hot dog
or stake might delight him. While having your dinner allow your dog to share a
bite or two with you and he would not stop wagging his tail for another hour.
Share your bed with him:
I know you will be having your
partner lying on the other side of bed. But, do not keep your dog away from
jumping on to the bed with you as well. There is a very strong emotional bond
that a dog shares with his master. To prove that and ensure a special place in
his life, sometimes, your dog might run around your bed to sleep with you. If he
does so, let him sleep with you and let feel safe and cozy.
Licking, licking and licking!!!
I just love it when my dog does
that after I reach home from my office. This is his way showing that he missed you
and allowing him to lick your face would be your way of saying that you missed
him too. I know god has made some difference between humans and dogs. But don’t
worry; vets are there to bridge that gap. With all the vaccination and hygiene
routine, everything should be good. Regular bathing and teeth cleaning will
keep the germs away from your dog.
Buy him toys
It would cheer you up seeing you
pup fighting with his favorite stuff toy. He is not asking you to buy an Xbox
or a play station. Just a few stuff toys and chew toys, and joy of having these
toys on his face would be irresistible. A basket ful of toys is enough to make
him realize that how much you love him.
Your dog would be your best friend
if you will make him feel that you love him a lot. And addressing my dog as ‘him’
and not ‘it’ is my way of telling people around me that he is an important part
of life. This may grammatically wrong but, from an emotional point of view it
is true.
