My husband and
I love our Black Lab, his name is Jerry. We got him six years ago from the Oakland
Human Society. My husband couldn’t resist this ridiculously hyper dog, he said,
he was jumping and at the door begging my husband to take him home. My husband
took him into a private room to play with him for a bit, next the rest was
history. He fell in love with him and took him home.
We do so much
for him. We treat Jerry as if he was our child. We buy only all natural dog
food for him, even if it’s more expensive than the rest. We switch the flavors
so he can have a variety. We like to make sure he gets all his vitamins, so we
buy him dog vitamins for his health. Whenever we buy tiger shrimp for ourselves
we always make sure that he has some as well, I mean who doesn’t give their dog
tiger shrimp.
Speaking about
health wise, we take him to the dog park every day for 2 hours. The dog park is
not free either so we pay a monthly sum for that as well. Jerry is a lab and he loves to run and he
needs his exercise, so we don’t mind paying for the use of the park. Along with
monthly expensive we also pay a monthly insurance on him through Banfield pet
program. It helps us save money and make sure that Jerry is in tip top shape.
Jerry’s
birthday is May 21. Every birthday we bring him to the park and we buy him a
doggie cake that is made for whole foods. We also make him a hamburger without
the bun and we sing happy birthday and show him love and affection. Also we buy
him a gift toy or bone. I know it may seem a bit strange but he is our big boy
he is apart of our family.
Another thing
that I actually do, my husband gets a little annoyed about, is that I give
Jerry a massage. He runs a lot and I don’t want to him to pull a muscle, so
once per day I will massage his back and his legs and I will also make him
stretch. He loves to stretch, I can actually tell him to, he will lye on his
back and stretch both front and back legs its pretty crazy to see.
All in all we
pretty much baby our dog and spoil him way to much. What can I say, “He’s apart
of the family.”
