I probably wont hit it.

You had better not hit that dog, or I will come after you. Do Not Ever Hit a Dog!!!!!

[Wondergirl]

if she/he had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night...

How will you know that's why the puppy is crying?

I would probably ask someone to come with me out side

And you will be Miss Popularity for doing that.

[snowball12]

Who had the attention span of a gnat?

[snowball12]

What do you mean by "Miss Popularity"

[snowball12]

And when I said ," i will probly not hit it" I meant I WILL NOT hit it

[Wondergirl]

Who had the attention span of a gnat??

If a dog or cat or horse or cow poops or pees in the wrong spot, they have absolutely NO idea that's the wrong spot and DO NOT understand why you are angry. They go when they have to go. It takes hours and hours of patient training to teach dogs where to poop and pee -- just like when you were a baby. Your mom scolding you for making a dirty diaper didn't mean a thing to you. If she yelled at you, you just got scared of her. Same with a puppy.

[Wondergirl]

You will not be Miss Popularity because no one is going to be happy if you have to wake him or her up in the middle of the night because your puppy is crying.

[snowball12]

Oh.. How do you know so much?? Hahaha! I will be all prepared by the time I get a puppy! With food, a bed/crate (maybe both) toys, etc.

[snowball12]

Oh.. hahaha.. that won't be too good. But I would probably be to scared to go outside alone.

[Wondergirl]

oh.. How do you know so much??? hahaha! I will be all prepared by the time i get a puppy! with food, a bed/crate (maybe both) toys, etc.

But will you know how to be a good owner? Are you going to read up on training and dog care and get books from the library and read the web sites that someone had posted? Owning a dog is more than feeding it and playing with it.

Do you know about dog characteristics? Some like to run like crazy after squirrels and chipmunks, some are good escape artists and run away all the time, some are couch potatoes, some are diggers and will dig up your back yard, some get to be very large, some shed a lot, some drool a lot and leave saliva all over the place.

[Wondergirl]

What if your puppy cries during the night but he doesn't have to pee or poop? What will you do?

[snowball12]

I took out about 6 books from the library and I am putting together something about dogs. How they need exercise and you can't slack off on the job just because you are tired or lazy. And you have to walk your dog everyday, maybe even 2 times a day. And you have to clean out your dogs water dish everyday because no one likes drinking out of a dirty bowl.and you have to feed them 2-3-4 times a day (or something) (I will find that out) and I said that when you got the dog you are committing and agreeing to giving him/her everything he/she needs. And how you should bring bags with you when you go walking justs in case the dog poops. I really truly hope this is going to be a very fun experience for me. (and I am looking forward to those walk just me and my little baby!) I have dreamed of getting a dog for a long time! Any finally, its coming true!

[snowball12]

I will comfort her or if she is hungry... I will feed her

[snowball12]

And you have to make a schedule of what times you feed her/him (the dog).

[Wondergirl]

But if you feed her in the middle of the night, you are setting yourself up for trouble.

Even if you comfort the puppy, you are setting yourself up for trouble.

[snowball12]

And when I say "you" I mean anyone... mostly me for when I get a dog!

[Aurora_Bell]

How old are you?

[snowball12]

What do you mean I am setting myself up for trouble

[JudyKayTee]

He/she will probably sleep in my room in a crate or a bed. and I probably wont hit it. and if she/he had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night... i would probably ask someone to come with me out side :) And do you have any suggestions on how to properly train a puppy to go to the bathroom out side????

I have very little patience because I see so many dogs surrendered by people who don't have a CLUE what they are doing.

That having been said - she will "probably" sleep here or there?

You would "probably" ask someone to come outside.

And the shocker - you "probably" won't hit it?

Has anyone asked your age?

You are very ill prepared to have a puppy - or an adult dog, for that matter.

Are you doing the reading that WG suggested or are you simply sitting at the keyboard, asking questions?

[snowball12]

I can't exactly tell you my age but I am not a teenager
