I want a new puppy dog said my wife
She said I’ve had dogs all my life
She said they love you unconditionally and they play with you
I told my wife I have never had dogs
And I don’t know how I would look after a dog
But my wife wore me down and I eventually said yes
We purchased a puppy, an Australian Terrier from a breeder
Not a maltese like we originally thought
We soon learned how intelligent it was
She soon learned how to go through the doggy door
And although there were some accidents she learned how to wee and poo outside
She runs around and uses lots of energy
Then she gets tired and falls asleep on our lap
She jumps on us and gives us lots of cuddles
She plays outside on the grass or plays inside with its toys
She seems to enjoy going for a ride in the car
The only problem we have with her is she bites and nips us
Shes teething so that could last for a while
We’re getting doggy training this week
Which will help us look after her and help the puppy
So I’m glad we got a puppy
It will be fun watching Ruby grow up
