Last summer when our cat Jack died we talked about getting a new pet when we were ready. Six months later we had decided on getting a dog, and everyone wanted a puppy.We started looking into it in earnest about 6 weeks ago, and after a few bad experiences with pet rescue agencies we decided to simply buy a puppy.
Bella is currently about 4 weeks old and in another 4 weeks we can bring her home. She is a Beagle, so training will be a long process, but otherwise we expect her to be a perfect fit for our family.
The backyard has been prepared to resist most escape attempts, and we have a cage and dog beds ready inside. Now we need to teach Austin to keep his toys put away, though a few of those lost to puppy teeth may prove to be the best learning method.
