As much as we all love that commercial with the darling irresistible puppy popping out of the box on Christmas morning, the reality is that a puppy for Christmas is just bad timing. The holidays stretch our already overloaded schedules to the max, many people travel, and the holidays are well, just stressful. Please wait until a more appropriate time AND when you do pick that “time”, please consider a rescue dog first. They are not “second hand” or “damaged”, they have been let down by humans, and they are so grateful – they KNOW you saved them. I believe that with all my heart. And they will reward you with more loyalty and love than you could imagine.
