Meet Dasher #dasherthepup

April 5, 2015 | By Heidi | Filed Under: zoo | Leave a Comment

dasherthepupIntroducing…. <drumroll> Dasher!

Dasher came into our lives on Christmas eve. He’s a rescue who has worked his way into our heart and homes.

Let me tell you though…having a puppy is a lot of WORK!! I had forgotten everything that is involved.

He was basically potty trained when we got him, although we have had a lot of accidents in the house.

Winter is not an ideal time to get a puppy in Michigan!

Plus he is a short haired dog and we are used to longer fluffier dogs, so he spent the first couple months in sweaters. Poor thing. The photo below is a younger Dash.

Because of his breed – which we don’t know of for sure, but suspect him to have some Pit Bull and/or Boxer in him- we have been trying to take him to pet stores frequently to socialize him with people, other dogs, etc. I am pretty sure he falls in the Bully breed spectrum and we want to make sure he is a good, friendly dog. He needs formal training, or WE actually need the training, and he’s teething like a mother effer! He gets so mad when you say, “No!” to him…it’s too funny.

But puppies…. a LOT of work!

Expect many tales of Dasher to come… see what I did there? LOL  I expect this experience to be an adventure.

Happy Easter from the Mitten and Dasher!!

Search #dasherthepup on Instagram to see Dash’s latest photos. I need to get some videos of him as well!

If you have any training advice, or advice for a first time mom of a Bully breed…please leave me a comment!
