Introduction:
Hi, this is Jasper! I’m supposed to talk about the pros and cons of German Shepherds. So I guess the first thing I’d like you to know is I am a dog, but I’m not “just a dog” I have feelings. If my mom gave me away because I got too big or did something wrong I would be sad. Also, I wouldn’t know what I did wrong because, well, I’m a dog. I’d just know I was scared and wonder where Mom went. So, if you don’t plan to stick by your German Shepherd I really, really wish you would pick a different dog breed.
Now that I got that off my chest time to clear a few things up! Mom says German Shepherds are a handful. That can’t be true. I was much bigger than a handful even when I was little! You needed at least two hands to hold me even when I was little. See. Much bigger than a hand full even here and I’m just 8 weeks old.
Breeders
I do agree about picking a good breeder. Our breeder Addy was the best. I call her Granny. I can tell you, she smells really good for a granny too! I know about those things because I’m a dog. Smelling is our best thing! She helps train me when we go to Arkansas. She has a dog club there. I got to find rats! That was FUN!!!!
Apple Trees and Holes
As for eating the trees, that apple tree was really delicious. I thought Mom planted it for me to dig back up. After all, I helped dig the hole! I was really confused when she got so mad at me for that.
She said bad words too! She tried to plant it again but I guess I ate too much of it. It died. Now she puts her trees behind chicken wire. That’s probably a good idea since how am I supposed to know which trees are OK to eat and which are not? Also, why is it wrong to dig holes? Humans are confusing. First, you want me to dig a hole then you get mad at me for digging a hole? You should make up your minds!
That’s OK though as I’m lucky, my Mom doesn’t care if I did holes. She just doesn’t want me to eat trees behind chicken wire which is easy since I can’t get to them. I tried. But if you do decide to get a German Shepherd you may want to get some chicken wire too.
Jasper’s Handsome Tail
Now about the subject of my tail. I have a very handsome tail! I think. It keeps moving when I try to look at it. Sometimes I catch it though and I can tell you it also tastes very good! It also makes a good rudder in the pool. Mom says it’s a lethal weapon but I’m pretty sure she’s confused. I don’t think my tail could hurt anything! Well OK I guess it did knock a few things off the shelf in the pet store once, but nothing broke! What can I say? When I’m happy I wag!
Nail Trimming is A-W-F-U-L
Mom is right about my not liking to have my nails trimmed. Its A-W-F-U-L! She got my quick once and I have NEVER forgotten that. Mom wants to know why I remember that so well but forget her shoe are off-limits. Don’t tell her I said so, but I don’t forget about the shoes. I just like the way they smell. Ummm. Besides I don’t chew on them. I just like to carry them around while Mom chases me and says bad words. OK, I guess maybe I WOULD chew on them if I ever got to keep one but so far no go. You wouldn’t think so to look at her but that moms is quick and she never, ever gives up. I can tell you that for sure!
Back to the nail trimming. That is the first serious disagreement Mom and I had. I’m here to tell you when Mom makes up her mind you might as well give in. I did belly up and everything. But I still don’t like getting my nails trimmed! It makes me jumpy. I just decided that made me less jumpy than Mom.
Conclusion
I’m glad someone finally did a study on those chihuahuas. I could have told you they were vicious. They make me itch between my shoulder blades!
Well, that’s all I got for now!
Woof
