As I was laying in bed the other night thoughts of Dexter, our pit bull - boxer entered my mind. I am not sure why the thoughts came rushing back this single night. The movie playing in my head was comical though.
The puppy was running full speed in a circle nearby our living room. As he geared up his wee legs scrambled for traction on our new laminate flooring. As he slipped and slid, he would round the corner. Under the coffee table and straight through the end tables Dexter wound his way straight through the maze he used as his racetrack. It became a nightly ritual for our new puppy, running at all out full speed until he dropped.
Train Table For Kids
As I drifted off to sleep, I remember feeling my lips curl upward into a smile. I even remember slightly laughing aloud. He sure was a site to see. Dexter came to us the same month we opened our nationwide auto vehicle business. I will admit I was not very happy about it. Like most parents, we did not pick Dexter. Our son received him as a gift from a co-worker and could not say no. He brought him home and handed him to me, all 5 pounds of him. Reasoning back I should have put my foot down and said no, but just like us parents do...I did not.
Through all the kicking, screaming and denial my heart absolutely melted when I took the first look at his wee face. He licked my nose and it was all over. Instant bonding took place that day. wee did I know that running a enterprise would be like raising a puppy.
Getting acquainted...
The biggest suspect I did not want another dog was I knew it would be busy in the office. Answering phone calls for customers requesting auto vehicle quotes would take time. Puppies also take a mountainous estimate of time to train the right way. There would be no time to play, house break him or show him the attentiveness he would need.
There was also the issue of time to take him to get his puppy shots. We bought special puppy food because boxers get a lot of gas. Just like toddlers, puppies need toys to occupy their days. Reasoning about the sleepless nights ahead of me I cringed. I was Reasoning about the long hours I would be putting into building the nationwide auto vehicle business. Why did I not put my foot down and say no to my son?
My husband and son both worked full-time at jobs exterior of the home. On the other hand, I was here 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you have ever owned a new puppy you know, the breaking in duration is crazy.
So began the improvement of our relationship. Up at 5 Am we would go exterior together for his morning ritual of sniffing the grass. Running nearby like that was all we had to do was crazy. He was so wee that the grass scratched his wee belly. Either it was pouring rain, or 115* outside, there we would be playing in the dark.
As the school bus drove by, the driver would honk and wave. All of the kids were smiling as if we were their entertainment. The parents driving carpools would stop and watch. Some of them even shouted out, "awe, how cute". Soon they would wave and off they would go to drop the kids at school.
Our day got started in the office after our first morning outing. Dexter and I both soon learned how to work together. The office guard puppy and the nationwide auto vehicle broker in case,granted auto vehicle quotes to customers daily. He learned to lie on the rug in the doorway. I learned to take breaks, eat meals and love on my new companion while building my car shipping business.
Come back next time for the chronic story of Dexter, our office dog and the broker who provides customers with auto vehicle quotes.
