Okay, I know half of you will think I'm going crazy and the other half are
probably wondering if all my post will be related to babies/parenting, but
this article, made me think about puppies. Well, the first time I read it,
it made me think about my soon to be human baby. Then when I stepped back
and looked at it again, it made me think about puppies.
I think no matter how you slice it, they are all babies, human or canine.
Just as human babies rely on their parents for that nuturing, so do puppies
from their human parents after they leave their canine mom.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share this article. Sort of makes me think more
and more about some of the behavior problems we see in dogs (as well as
children) as they get older and how much of their puppihood (childhood)
played a role in shaping that behavioral problem. I mean we all know the
different potential causes of behavior problems, some genetic, some social,
environment, etc. etc. I just thought I'd share this article with the list
because I think it reinforces the importance of early nuturing, both for
humans and animals.
