What It's Like to Raise a Puppy

Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”

This week, Melina is sharing her excitement about being a puppy mom! She’s already finding out that puppies need a lot of attention, especially when everything looks like something to chew. But she’s clearly in love with her new little companion.

The work we do at The Arc of Midland starts with what matters to each person. For Melina, right now, that includes caring for her puppy and taking on the responsibilities that come with it. Having support in your life should also mean having opportunities to make your own choices and take care of someone else. Through Mondays with Melina, she gets to share that part of her life with her community, in her own words. And we’re happy to hear all about the newest member of her family!

Without further ado…

“Hi I would like to talk about what it is like to raise a puppy. They are a lot of work but they are cute and have fun with them. They chew everything so you have to watch them every minute but because they are like kids. Once they are fully grown it doesn't really matter anymore. I love puppies because they are easy to hold them. I can't be a puppy forever. I am excited to be her mom. I can't believe she's here. I love her .

Thanks”
