Questions All First-Time Dog Owners Have Googled

In This Article:

I'm a first-time dog owner, and I google something every hour about my pup. Here are some questions I've asked before, straight from my browser history - with the brief version of the answer + pup photo!

Can I feed my dog ___? 

Basically every food has a different answer, so I'd recommend googling anytime you have this question.

How often do I need to bathe my dog?

Some websites say once a month, and other say once a week. I find mine starts smelling a bit after a week, so I usually just wait a week.

How often do I need to cut her nails?

Every few weeks, or when her nails start making clicking sounds on the ground!

How do I teach my dog to sit?

Sit is super easy to teach. Just say 'sit', push her butt down, and give her a treat with lots of enthusiastic noises.

Why is my puppy peeing so much?

I'm still not sure why she was peeing so much (like 6 times every hour for a couple hours this one time). This one resolved on its own.

What to do if my puppy is choking

Do NOT call 911. For a small dog, put her on her back and push upwards on her belly until the thing comes out.

Why does my puppy crawl on his belly?

Just to stretch.

Why does my puppy make a breathy air sound?

Still not completely sure about this one because I'm not sure how to word it - I think it's a hairball.

How much are puppy shots?

Each round is about $25.

Why is my puppy's poop so soft?

I was overfeeding her. Feed your pup the amount that the dog food bag says, and don't allow her to just eat by her own will (filling up a bowl).

Does my puppy understand my emotions?

Yes!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
