I recently rescued the cutest pup from the Yolo County Sheriff’s Animal Service named Blaze (spoiler: picture at the bottom of the article). I may have forgotten to mention that I adopted him right before Week 10—complete madness. A month of pee, poop, throw up, two broken leashes, stained carpet (my mom was really pissed about this one), and finals later, I have never been more in love with this pup! Here are 5 reasons why the pros outweigh the cons of having an incredible pup:
Honestly, this article is just an excuse to post funny puppy gifs. But, my puppy is super cute!!!!!
1. Companionship
Let’s get real… this is more action than I have gotten in years!
2. Gets you off your butt!
I have definitely been getting my steps in since becoming a puppy mama. Blaze gets me on my feet all the time. I am learning that my morning and evening walks to “peepee and poopoo” are really nice ways to start and end the day—outside, with an adorable pup, breathing, and taking on the day.
3. Endless cuddles
4. Boosts the social life!
I can’t tell you how many Snapchat stories Blaze has been featured on. Both me and Blaze are making friends exponentially every day.
5. Smiles
I would say this is the happiest I have been in a long time. Yes, it’s a lot of work, but so, so rewarding.
Happy day!
Love,
Blaze (and Sarah, too)
