[QUOTE="Ali Smith, post: 2344"] It’s really difficult to know what you need, but if you strip it back to basics? Here’s what you truly need. Other than Love (which comes as a pretty obvious one, I hope!), your dog or puppy, doesn’t need much – 5 things… makes it sound really simple, doesn’t it? But some of these are things that money can’t buy… Your dog is an investment. Your puppy is an investment. and taking care of that investment? Is what probably makes a dog the [I]most [/I]rewarding thing money can buy for us humans. [IMG alt="This pug is happy, for sure!
