Things nobody warned me about
I literally cannot tell you the amount of times during my three years of having Clover that I have stopped and thought ‘nobody told about this’ or ‘I hadn’t considered this when I bought Clover’, or ‘this is much harder than I thought it would be.’
Truthfully, I wish someone had warned me. I wish I had considered the bigger picture more and I wish I had been prepared for exactly what dog ownership would entail, and just how hard it would be.
I wouldn’t change Clover for the world. She is my best friend and I couldn’t love her anymore if I tried. If I could go back in time three years to before I got her, I would 100% buy her all over again… I’d just make sure I was more prepared. I’d probably find an insightful and honest blog written by a real life dog owner which would inform me and prepared me for all the dog ownership things that I need to know… and it would probably make me a better dog owner… maybe.

*Disclaimer- I have no animal related qualifications whatsoever. Which begs the question as to exactly how much of my advice you should take. This isn’t really an advice blog- not properly. It’s more of a ‘these are my experiences- maybe we can all learn from them’ type of blog. You should seek actual qualified veterinary/animal behaviourist/dog dietician advice if you genuinely have any dog related concerns. I’m just here to share the things I’ve learnt in my three years of dog ownership. Some of which may be useful- some not.*
