Learning Responsibility

Posted on January 14, 2007 by rusw

Several months ago Matt our dear son, celebrated his fifteen birthday. My husband and I thought long and hard about what to get him for a present. We decided to get him a puppy a puggle. For the most part Molly the puggle has been a great addition to the family. Matt seems to really enjoy his puppy. He is beginning to take more responsibility for her each day, taking her out, picking up her toys, etc. It seems to be helping his social and communication skills.

There are times when the puppy’s endless energy mixed with my teenage son’s energy gets a bit overwhelming. However, all and all I would recoomend the experience.
