Puppy expenses

NSD supplies dog food and basic vet expenses but there are many more costs associated with raising strong healthy potential service dogs.

I like to supplement with a really good quality holistic dogfood and also with a lot of these....

Then you always have to have a few more of these to keep the "gang" entertained.....

Of course, Lindor thinks I bought them for her.

And then there is a lot of this.....

Since these are basically winter pups, they are inside exclusively for the first few weeks. With the nice weather expected in the next few days, they will be able to go outside but only on the concrete patio. As all you dog owners know, this is a nasty time of year for mud and rain and ground thawing which translates into soupy backyards; especially heavily shaded ones like mine. I also like to use re-useable puppy pads; better for the environment, easier to pick up off of, less slippery for the pups, but it results in a LOT of laundry. Which reminds me, it's time for another load to go in. Cheaper hydro on the weekend don't you know.
