No one ever tells you that getting a puppy can be so traumatic. I spent the first 10 days alone with Marco when we brought him home. My husband worked lots of lates so i spent almost every hour with him, barely getting dressed and showering. People likened it to having a baby. I still remember the first time we went out in the car, he howled the whole way round the neighborhood. I gritted my teeth and finally gave in and drove home.
After pulling up and getting Marco out of the car i was holding him in my arms, due to him not having all his injections yet. And in that moment the wind blew past us and he lifted his head sniffing the breeze, closed his eyes and in that moment he looked so happy. After that i could hardly be stressed with him and he just brings joy to be everyday. There are these moments when he looks at you and you lean in and he licks your cheek, or he sneaks up to your side and just cuddles into you.
And then there are the completely oblivious moments from him when he is sleeping.
