On July 19, 2019, I brought the little golden retriever home from a pet store near my home, which was not far away. I drove an electric car to bring it back. I didn’t dare to put the dog under the seat cushion. I could only hold the dog while driving. Unexpectedly, the dog fell asleep. From then on, the dog became a member of my family.
On the first night when she arrived at my house, she seemed very scared and went to sleep directly.
In this way, the dog spent the first night in her new home. Peaceful. The next morning, because of my parents’ work, they went out very early. But when I got up, I found that the dog was sleeping under my bed. At that time, I was really surprised. A little life, before adapting to the new home, knew to get close to the owner.
At that time, she was so young
. In the process of adapting to the new home, I found that the dog may not have a strong sense of security in her heart. Specifically, she likes to stay under the bed or in a small corner. It’s normal to think about it. A child has arrived in a new environment. Left her mother. Maybe she also misses her mother in her heart. Staying in the corner can give her a little sense of security.
Pretending not to see
the first time I took her to climb the stairs, she was very scared
. As time went by, the dog gradually adapted to the new home. She also began to show her temper, she loves to make trouble. She wants to bite everything she sees, from mops to rags, data cables… Anyway, in her eyes, the only difference between things in this world is what can be bitten and what cannot be bitten. She
likes to play tug-of-war with me the most, and she is still like this when she grows up
. Of course, she is still very greedy and picky! The key is that my parents love her super! Every meal is big fish and meat! Either chicken or duck meat. At first she ate dog food, but later she didn’t touch the dog food at all. She would only touch the dog food in her bowl when she was hungry in the middle of the night. Although she is now 90 kilograms! Now the whole family is worried about her weight. Obviously we have a medium-sized dog, but now it is almost catching up with a large dog!
Inner os: I obviously ate “billions” of food
. Whenever our family eats, she must stay at the dining table. The family also spoils her and doesn’t drive her away. Later, we poured dog food into her dog bowl before dinner, but she ignored it. Maybe she knew that no one would snatch it from her. The biggest change is that I can’t eat snacks secretly. Every time I open the refrigerator or get takeout at the door, she is very excited. She is happier than me. I really don’t understand. I didn’t buy it for her…
I just stared at you blankly…
Another thing is that Gouzi loves everyone in my family equally… My parents go to bed early, and I often stay up late. Every night, I fall asleep in my parents’ room first. After a long time, I will hear the sound of the door opening. I know that Gouzi came to check on me and urged me to go to bed early.
Why aren’t you sleeping yet?!
Gouzi gradually grew up. Because I was studying in another city and the nature of the school was special, I could only go home during the winter and summer vacations. So when I came back during the winter vacation, Gouzi had grown up. I couldn’t hold her anymore. I felt that I had missed the growth period of Gouzi. But what comforted me was that Gouzi didn’t forget me. I started to take Gouzi out for a walk, just as a way to help her lose weight. But her physical strength was too poor. After walking for an hour or two, she was tired and lay down to rest. I had no choice, after all, I couldn’t hold her, so I felt helpless.
I just took a rest… I
spent my childhood. Now I have reached adulthood, which is the most troublesome period for shit shovelers. The most troublesome problem for shit shovelers in adulthood is: hair loss! She only sheds twice a year, and each time only for half a year… Every time I take care of her hair, the dog hair is scattered all over the house. Sometimes I really go crazy. But I am still calm after going crazy. Isn’t the cuteness of golden retrievers also from this golden big hair? There is nothing I can do but endure it. So, friends who want to raise golden retrievers should pay attention. Think carefully before choosing. As a long-haired dog, golden retrievers shed hair seriously. If you can’t stand it, don’t choose it. If you choose it, don’t complain. It can be said that golden retrievers are good in everything except shedding.
I just love shedding hair, and I have to endure it if I don’t accept it!
This guy is also very cowardly. From childhood to adulthood, she has basically never met a dog bigger than her. So when she meets a small dog like Teddy, she is basically not afraid and doesn’t pay much attention to such a small dog. Even if Teddy barks at her. But since an Alaskan sled dog came to the neighborhood some time ago, my dog has changed. Every time she plays with other dogs enthusiastically, she becomes very well-behaved after seeing Alaska. She dares not move. Alaska wants to play with her, but she dares not move. Is she really moved
? She dares not move…
Summary: Since raising a golden retriever, my family has changed. First of all, the elders like to talk to the dog every day. I don’t know if the dog can understand, but I know that the dog can understand: go out and play. Secondly: I also go out every day and become diligent. Every time I see her expression when she wants to go out, I can’t stand it. I heard a saying somewhere else: For a dog, every time you are out of her sight, it is a farewell to her. I don’t know if this sentence is true, but I know that as long as everyone in our family goes home, even if she just arrives downstairs, she reacts quickly. She waits at the door early, and when you enter the door, she pounces on you in various ways. Let you feel her enthusiasm. Even if you just go out to throw away the garbage.
There are really many things I want to summarize… I only thought of so many things. Having a dog in life is like having a child. When she was little, I would beat her when she made mistakes. After beating her, I slowly calmed down and felt that I had not educated the dog well. I quickly hugged the dog to comfort it. So, friends, when you are free or when parents at home are alone because their children are not around, you can really consider raising a golden retriever. Golden retrievers are very cute and sensible. They are little angels sent by God to your side.
The love and care my parents have given me for more than 20 years has not changed day after day, which has never made me doubt and made me fearless. But I never thought that I, an ordinary person who couldn’t be more ordinary, was the most special existence in the eyes of a life that has no blood relationship with me, even if this life is not human. If this is an encounter that is destined to part, then we must cherish it well to be worthy of the encounter.
