A dog for Christmas
They say a dog is for life and not for Christmas, and now is the time when all the charities will be pushing this message.
However, at the same time, there are literally thousands of homeless dogs in rescue centres all over the UK that need a home desperately and if you feel you can offer one of these dogs a home, then Christmas could be a good time.
Although the holidays tend to be quite loud and boisterous, which can be scary for a puppy particularly, it is still a time when many of the family might be off work and hence able to spend time with the dog, get him or her used to his surroundings and if need be, toilet train him.
If this is something you are considering, then think very carefully, especially if you’re a dog owner virgin, and remember that if you have children they are likely to lose interest and as they get older start going out, so be prepared to do most of the hard work yourself if need be, as a dog is definitely for life and not just for Christmas.
