A friend of mine just got a new puppy. She has to go out of town on business, so she asked me to take care of the puppy for her. This week, I am taking care of a puppy for my friend, and I am very nervous about it. I haven’t had a puppy since I was a child. I know puppies are just like babies. They have to be watched round the clock so they do not get into anything they shouldn’t. I am puppy-proofing my house right now. I would hate for something bad to happen while my friend is away.
