Sorry about my last post, it was a message to my Finnish followers.
To get to the point, today I want to tell you something that I have found challenging after getting a dog. Most of the challenges were expected before I got Rafael but obviously there were some things that may have surprised me more than I thought.
First thing has been the allergy that I have dealt with. When Rafael was a puppy he often licked my neck or his nails scratched me which caused some itching and light asthmatic symptoms. Luckily now because of the exposure to the allergen I’m not as allergic as I was before.
Other ”challenges” has been Rafael’s day care issues. Because Raffe and I live alone, if I’m away from home I need to get someone to watch over him. Usually I can get someone on time to take care of him (often it’s my sister, father or my boyfriends parents) but there has also been times that I have gotten to stay at home.
There have even been times that I have been spending the evening at my friend’s place, but had to get home early because of Raffe. He doesn’t generally like being home alone when it’s dark, so if he misses me too much he makes it clear. Also, I think he had had a long day by himself so that’s why he was protesting. Anyway, my neighbours send me text that Rafael was being a bit too loud and they started to get bothered. Problem was solved when I went home and took him to nice long walk 🙂
These are maybe the biggest ones that comes to my mind but if there are any questions you can just state them in the comments. Have a nice week 🙂
