Our puppy is turning 5 months next week, and we are finally going out for a nice dinner with friends at a restaurant in two weeks – after not going out without the puppy since we adopted her on December 22nd (Yes, we know she was too young. She was seized in a humane case and the owners lied about her age to the police and the rescue). Our friends are joking that this dinner is our first postpartum outing, but I feel like that time period needs its own name. Maybe if it had a name, people would realize what a huge undertaking and adjustment it is to adopt a tiny puppy. This is our 4th dog and we honestly forgot how it is. The fact we unknowingly took her home at 5 weeks didn’t help.
