"Ice Cream" is my eldest son, a snow-white Samoyed .

July 2, 2017, was the day I adopted him.

On October 7, 2019, she was fostered at her mother’s house because she was pregnant.

Yesterday, my mother sent me a WeChat message: "Your ice cream has escaped."

I was very anxious, could I not find it back? Was he caught and sold by others? But when I was fostered at my mother's house, even if I lost it, I didn't seem to have the right to lose my temper.

It spent two happy years with me, but I can’t always keep it with me.

What I want to say is: A dog’s life is short: if you can’t commit to it for a lifetime, please don’t love it easily for a while.

1 It’s about love and responsibility, not whim

Raising a dog has never been a simple thing. If you are not ready to be a dog owner for 10 years, please don’t start easily. Your abandonment may end its life.

The average life span of dogs is 10-15 years, which is about 1/10 of humans.

So my 5-year-old ice cream is already middle-aged. But I only appeared in its life for a short 2 years. I am very sorry, and even a little regretful that I ever took it home.

I remember it was a midsummer afternoon, and Mr. Liang and I took it home on an electric bike. He was only 1 month old at the time, and he vomited all over the floor due to "heatstroke and motion sickness" during the trip.

When I got home and saw the wilted little meat ball, I felt very distressed.

When it grew from a little one in my arms to a huge creature that could run and hold me in my arms, it felt so satisfying.

will also play hide-and-seek with you every day, asking for touches and hugs. Now that I think about it, I still have a smile on my face.

However, it also has anxious moments.

can easily open the living room and bedroom doors, and run out along the stairs if you are not careful. I once chased him from level to level in the stairwell on the 24th floor, and played many competitive games of "you chase me and escape" with him in the community.

urges you to exercise. It is really very easy.

I have seen a video surveillance installed at a colleague's house. When the owner is not at home, it will lie facing the door. As long as it hears any disturbance, its little ears will stand up and its eyes will brighten.

Unfortunately, what greeted it was disappointment again and again.

If you can't guarantee the time you spend with him after work, and you can't guarantee that you can accompany him until he grows old, then I advise you to let your dog go.

Don't use your own whims to steal the happy time that should belong to him/her.

2 It is the companionship of family, not just the care of cute pets.

The night road that you are very afraid of, it will make you feel at ease with it;

The past that you really want to recall, and you also want to take him to revisit the old place.

The matter of dogs “recognizing their owners” really makes me feel great satisfaction.

When my grandma lived at my house, she could never distinguish the signals sent by the ice cream.

Ever since I moved to a new home, he has never peed on the ground easily.

Whenever I come home from get off work and see its longing eyes heading to the bathroom, I know that it is a signal for me to "pee" or "poop", and it is no accident.

When Ice Cream was fostered at her mother's house, she was always jealous.

Samoyeds are really like naughty children. They always want to sneak out and play when you are not paying attention. I happened to be at home that time, and my mother chased the ice cream all the way out on an electric bike without stopping. But I just squatted down and clapped my hands, and it rushed towards me.

I really want to take it with me and grow up with my little fish.

But I don’t have time to take care of the baby, so how can I let my grandma take care of another big dog?

If you haven’t thought about how your dog will get along with your family, don’t make a decision easily.

3 is a four-legged gold-eating beast, not a leftover fighter

If you think that raising a dog means just letting him destroy the leftovers at home, then you are totally wrong.

Keeping a pet costs more money than you think.

Before raising a pet, are you financially prepared?

Let me do the math for you:

html Within 12 months, drink goat milk powder + and eat refined dog food; get deworming every six months; get animal vaccinations regularly every year; and also have hair styling agents, nutritional products, and animal bathing+ Beauty...

In total, the monthly expenses are at least 1000+

. There is also a huge sum of money that I once spent: to treat it as a doctor.

html When he was 15 months old, he contracted " parvo", an animal virus that is extremely easy to cause death.

Many friends told me that if you are small, you will die. Instead of spending half a day and not being able to keep it, it is better to just give up.

But anyone who really loves dogs knows that it is a little guy who grew up in his arms. How could he not go for medical treatment in order to save money?

It suddenly started to vomit, couldn't eat, and even had blood in its stools...

I put it in the pet hospital for infusion, and rushed back from the company under the scorching sun every day at noon to check on its condition. It was so sick that it could hardly recognize me.

Fortunately, it survived after 7 days, and I really breathed a sigh of relief.

But I spent more than 6,000 yuan just to treat it this time.

Do you still think raising a dog is easy?

The psychological anxiety is really no less than raising a child.

4 is written at the end

Just as it is said in "Hachiko":

"It is just a dog of yours, but you are its life."

I hope that every relationship you have with it can have a beginning and an end, do not start blindly, and do not end in a hurry.

and above, thank you for reading.
