The one thing nobody tells you
I absolutely love my puppy but it has been a bigger financial strain then i had thought and i didnt realise how hard it would be living a normal life, i cant go out without getting somone to mind her and I havent even tried to go on holiday yet!

The holiday thing is so real. We got a dog two years ago and haven't been away since because kennels are either fully booked or cost a fortune.
