First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is James, and my dog’s name is Jason. I’m a younger brother. I chose this name because I want my dog to have the same surname. It’s okay to make the same initials. In addition, I majored in English, so I thought of taking an English name with J. When I am writing this article, he is still lying next to me, with his head resting on my thigh. I put his photo at the end. If you are interested, you can see the dog at the end of the article. )
I like dogs very much since I was a child. Golden retriever is my dream and favorite dog, and there is no one. It was not until the first year of high school that I started to raise a dog. I raised Samoyed and Alaska, but they didn’t end. Because of school stress and family opposition, I changed hands and gave them away after less than half a year.
To tell the truth, Jason is the first dog that I have considered for a long time and raised seriously.
Because Golden Retriever is particularly smart, its IQ ranks fourth among dogs, and its learning ability is very strong. A simple instruction can be learned in less than half an hour. My Jason can now: sit, lie down, lie down, shake hands and dance.
His appearance is also a rare legend. Last year, I thought I could have a dog of my own, so I searched the Internet for sellers, Taobao, JD.COM, 58 City, and the market. Even when I saw the golden retriever walking in the street, I had to ask someone for a phone number and ask when to give birth to a paparazzi. I’ve been looking for it for about three months. I saw such a dog on the Internet. I made an appointment with my owner to bring the dog that night and met him in People’s Park. I liked it at first sight. I can’t tell you the feeling. I feel that all the golden hairs I’ve seen before are not so lovable and suitable for me. It happened to be birthday eve, so he was given to me as a birthday present. Blink of an eye, this year’s birthday has passed, and he has been with me for more than a year.
When I first raised Jason, I had to get up an hour every day. Because I lived far away, I had to go to school during the day and only came back at night. At that time, I also had classes at night and I couldn’t get home until 90 pm. Thinking that he will be very lonely when he is at home with a dog during the day, he must get up early, play with him outside for an hour, and then send him home to class.
Everyone who owns a dog knows that everything is difficult at the beginning. From the second day after you raise it, you will find that the original curiosity and joy are instantly wiped out, and only the excrement and his destructive mess are faced. Before he was five months old, he used to go to the toilet at home, and the wooden floor at home was difficult to clean up. Six months old, I know how to excrete in the toilet, so every time after taking a shower, I have to mop the floor dry, spread newspapers and diapers, and when I come back, the newspapers have been bitten to pieces; At the age of seven months, he began to hold back his excrement and urine. He didn’t want to pull until he came back at home and took him down. But he was still young, and his bladder might not be fully developed. At the moment he opened the door, he still couldn’t hold back when he rushed to jump on you. He wanted to hug while urinating. At that time, he was really angry and laughing. At the age of eight months, he began to pee with his legs crossed. I don’t know where he learned it, or it was his nature. After that, everything was normal. His activities didn’t affect my life, so I didn’t have to spend time on cleaning.
After all these problems were solved, new problems appeared again.
Because my own concept has always been to keep him as a “dog”, you can eat and drink, and you don’t need to worry about others.
However, the longer I get along with him, I find that he is the closest to you and has always been by your side. No matter whether you are happy or sad, you can always see him at first sight when you go home. You have been waiting for you for a long time-you have passed countless steps at the door, hoping that you will go home every time, but it is not the dog after disappointment. So that every time I opened the door, he waited at the door. I’m sure it’s not because of how comfortable the carpet at the door is to sleep, or because of the instinct of guarding the home that he sleeps at the door, but because of me. He wants to see me and say, “I missed you. I waited for you at home all day, and you finally came back.”
Therefore, I am gradually adjusting his quality of life: from the initial 12 yuan a catty of bulk dog food to the current Ocean Star, Bernard Tianchun, Newton; From the first 20 yuan to the present K9, EZYDOG; I have never been willing to buy toys for him, and now all kinds of imported toys, all kinds of canned dogs … these are very expensive, but I don’t feel sorry.
If you want to raise golden retrievers, let me give you a simple account: when you buy them, they range from 800-12000, depending on the appearance and variety; One shot of rabies vaccine is 80, once a year for adult dogs; Weijia 8 vaccine 120, once a year for adult dogs; Do deworming in and out of the body every month, about 200; Health products such as trace elements, seaweed powder, lecithin, calcium tablets, about 400 a month; Dog food is at least a catty a day, and the price of better dog food is around 800; Wash two or three times a month, about 200. If you want to raise something exquisite, you also need to buy chicken breast, eggs, toys, brushes for grooming, traction ropes, chest and back, and excrement collection bags … In addition, sterilization is also under consideration, and the whole set is about 2,000.
In fact, the dog is the most human animal. He will rub you when you are happy, want to stick to you, and always accompany you when you are sad. I don’t want to say more about this. Every shovel officer has his own experience.
I think that Jason has been in my life for more than a year. Every time I go out and see the park, I always think about whether I can bring dogs in this park to play. When I see someone else’s house taking the golden retriever for a walk, I always think, how is Jason at home?
Last November, I took him to Guizhou by car because I was unwilling to send him to a pet shop for foster care, for fear that he was not used to it and was not comfortable at home. I will definitely take him to the grassland, the sea and the snow in the future …
As the saying goes, dogs get rich. I don’t mean to say this sentence, but I think that if you have a dog, you should think about the next ten years. If you have a dog to take care of, you should be responsible for it.
