Raising a golden retriever is 10 times more difficult and 11 times happier than expected.
Oil painting girl (mistake)
I have always liked the character and beauty of Golden Retriever, and I have helped people look after two boys with good personalities. On the 11 th holiday in 2019, I spent 550 yuan from my hometown pet store and bought the one left in a litter of puppies. At that time, it was less than two months old. When we went to pick it up, it was being beaten up by a pregnant female cat in a pet store, a group of cowards.
The boy was named Xiaofufu, because he hoped to live a safe life. Secondly, Xiaofufu was the name of the university canteen, where pumpkins were carved with KK Halloween, which was of great significance.

Little Milk Fu who is afraid of sleeping by herself.
On the first day of coming home, Xiaofu showed his detachment beyond his age. When he slept at night, we put him in the living room, but he screamed (at that time, he couldn’t bark). In unknown so, we touched him for a while, then he was quiet for a while, and when he left, he began to bark again. Trying to put it in the bedroom, Xiaofu fell asleep for a second.
Ah, the old mother’s heart was melted for the first time, so this is the feeling of being needed!
The first day I took it home, on my way back to Beijing.
When she was two months old, Xiaofu was seriously ill. She was diagnosed with anemia and bronchitis. She didn’t eat or drink, and walked unsteadily. She almost thought she couldn’t survive.
Fortunately, the doctor is reliable, thanks to the doctor for saving my dog’s life.
Dad’s apple of his eye
Call at 4 o’clock every morning
Xiao Xiaofu can’t digest dry food for three months. At this stage, the nutritional cream, goat milk powder, dry food and liquid calcium are mixed together in proportion, brewed with boiling water, and the food is completely soaked for about 15 minutes, and then fed to dogs. Three-month-old dogs have small stomachs, so they need to eat 5-6 meals a day, otherwise they will have loose bowels, and the intestines and stomachs of golden retrievers are generally not very good.
At this stage, Xiaofufu wakes up hungry at 4 o’clock every morning, screaming for us to get up, for fear of disturbing our neighbors, so we get up at 4 o’clock to soak the dog’s food and feed it before going to bed. When we get up at night, we obviously feel that the late autumn in Beijing is getting colder and colder.
Weak, pathetic and helpless
Afraid Xiaofu won’t have enough to eat, sometimes KK needs to go home at noon and feed it again. Even so, every time I take Xiaofu to the pet hospital, everyone will say Xiaofu is very thin. At that time, I was watching Home on the Ramp, and I felt the same remorse and frustration for being a mother who was told that her children were not as good as their peers.
Because you can’t take a bath or go out during vaccination, dogs are smelly and have dander on their bodies during this time, but people’s ability to adapt to the environment can’t be underestimated. It’s also a skill to hear about it for a long time.
Many firsts.
Teacher HD, who used to work in Dog People’s Network and has a good knowledge of raising dogs, has been answering many questions about raising dogs for free and enthusiastically. Now I think he is really suitable to come to Zhihu for paid consultation. Teacher HD said that after two shots of dog vaccine, you can come out to play. Three or four months is a crucial period for the formation of dog personality. You should let dogs go out to see the world and do simple sniffing exercises.
So from the first time we left home, Xiaofu and I experienced countless firsts in its life.
The first time I left home, I wiped the corridor with a dog mop (3 and a half months).
The first time I cut jio armor, look at these frightened little eyes (3 and a half months)
The first time I took a serious bath, I was groomed by my little sister (4 months)
I changed my teeth for the first time, and now I have grown into big fangs (5 months)
The first time I looked in the mirror, I was very beautiful (5 months)
Dubbed by the leader of the circle of “raising a dog”: I, Xiaofufu, have a well-proportioned tree!
The first time I saw snow, I ran wild in it.
Xin yuan Jie fu
It’s the first time for business, and so far no advertisers have been recruited (6 months).
Push accurately for two hours every day!
You are blessed to grow up.
Now Xiaofufu is 9 months old and has grown into a basic body shape. During the epidemic, we both worked from home, and we also took this opportunity to get along with Xiaofu day and night, which brought our mutual understanding and trust closer.
Who doesn’t like weekends?
During the epidemic, one can’t take a bath and the other can’t get a haircut.
Always interested in the kitchen
Of course, occasionally there will be some hobbies (smiles) that burn money, and then they will be punished:
It follows wherever it goes.
Now you can just eat with the automatic feeder!
It’s been nine months, and I’ve been in Provence, Beijing.
Think about these before you can raise a dog.
To tell the truth, in the process of raising a dog, we have wavered many times. Although we tried to do psychological construction for a long time, we had a dog at home when we were young. But as two internet dogs, our time to ourselves is limited, and the difficulties in reality are still more than expected. Fortunately, we are more and more determined and full of sense of accomplishment. But friends around me put forward the idea of raising a dog, and I strongly advise Ta to think twice.
Regardless of whether the dog needs to go through parting when he is old, the dog needs to go through this when he is young, and each item is checked, so consider getting a dog!
Dogs need to eat dog food soaked in hot water at least every 5 hours before 4 months. Please make sure you have time to feed the dogs!
Before the dog’s urinary system matures (my dog was 5 months ago), he will urinate everywhere, and he may not be able to learn to urinate with a urine pad (we tried various methods, but failed), and he has the patience and waist strength to wipe his urine.
Dogs need money to go to the hospital for treatment when they are sick. At present, there is no good pet medical insurance. If there is, please recommend it.
The golden retriever will lose his hair like a sweater all day. Now, most people don’t sit on the sofa in my house, and Xiaofu has to vacuum it every time he sits.
Golden retriever has a heavy body odor. At present, he goes to the pet shop to take a bath once a week, and the annual bathing card is 4000+.
The female dog will come to her period. If you accidentally make the house dirty, don’t dislike her.
Golden retriever needs to run for more than 1 hour every day. Make sure you can get up early and walk it every day, and walk the dog first when you get home from work at night.
It is everyone’s responsibility to continue to pick up shit and care for the environment.
Finally, put two pictures of daily demolition! Very! Persuade! Back off!
When I got home from work one day,
If all this doesn’t stop your determination to raise a golden retriever, then take it home with confidence! It is warm, loving, loyal and naive, never cares about giving and returning, trusts you unconditionally and gives you all its love without hesitation.
