Uggs Make New Puppy Food - Website Promotion - Directory Submission


I've bought a little puppy. His name is Hugo and he is a German shepherd. Well, now he is fourteen weeks old and not so little and has miraculously developed a taste for the kitchen dustbin and my new knitted Ugg boots. Therefore, I decided that a quick search in the online business directory for a dog trainer was in order.

Having previously owned a dog, I wouldn't have thought a trainer was a necessary addition to the upbringing of a puppy. Zio, my late Pomeranian was unlike Hugo in many ways. Like other dogs, Zio would happily do anything for a custard cream but as for anything else, he did not display the same mannerisms as his fellow four legged friends. On long walks to the big fields behind my house, I would often throw a stick for Zio to fetch and in return he would sit imperturbably and display a most bemused expression, as if to say 'What me? Don't be so silly.'

In terms of his feeding habits, he was simply more peculiar and would only ever eat what he had witnessed to have-been tasted by us first, which meant that dog food was obviously out of the question. What he did eat resembled nothing more than cat-sized portions, as he slowly chewed with tiny, delicate mouthfuls. Yes, Zio was definitely of a royal descent.

Hugo in contrast has an enormous appetite that could not be surpassed. I watched him wolf down bones, bowls of rice and pieces of chicken breast and still he was hungry. And this was by 10am. Day by day, I could feel the strength building in his muscles, as he tugged ahead excitedly on his leash whenever a female companion walked past. As for throwing a stick, he fared better than Zee in that he would actually pick up the stick but instead of giving it back to me, he kept in locked firmly in his jaw and so I would throw another one and another until he has ten sticks in his mouth and there are none left for me to throw.

Suddenly, I felt a furry head nudge my left arm. I stop searching to turn my head towards Hugo. As I examine his mouth closely, I notice what appear to be the remains of the paper directory that I had left near the doorway. As I glance at the mischievous grin on his face, I thank my lucky stars for internet business directories.
