27. Don't declaw him!

They cut off the tips of their little toes to get at the nail root. OUCH! Plus, if he ever does get out for some reason he'll be defenseless. Just clip them if he'll let you (be careful not to cut the quick) and that'll help.

Wait 'til you're puppy is grown, you'll look at him and say, "what happened to that sweet little ball of fur?" My older dog was 6 weeks when we got her and she was so tiny and fuzzy and cute. Now she's a beast who takes up the whole bed. :D

A friend of mine has family in Missouri, but he's happy to not have to see them this Christmas.
