I've been there. It's 7 AM and you're getting ready to be gone for nine hours and those two beautiful eyes are staring up at you. As heartbreaking as that moment is, you have to go to work because the dog food is expensive, rent is due next week, and the electric bill is also due soon. Whether you just got your friend or am a seasoned veteran of the canine world, I can help. Being raised on a farm, I always had a dog. When I went to college I started out in a dorm and couldn't have animals and it was a terrible year without my best friends. Noah came into my life as a calm (not too many puppies have this quality), cuddly 6 weeks old and is about to turn 5 years!
