It’s twelve months today since Storm came home from the breeder. The little puppy that bounced into the house in a cardboard box has now grown into an adult dog with big feet and a boof head. He’s adjusted to the household well, and takes part in our daily activities. He’s now a major part of our family, always standing in the background of all family events, asking for a piece of birthday cake or just comforting one of us with a head lean when we are having a bad day.

I think it’s time to have that discussion with Storm that all pet owners need to have. I don’t know if he’s comprehended the situation and noticed the differences between us and himself so I’ll ask you then question. Do you think we should tell him he’s adopted?
