him hard with their ads. when i shared that anecdote with friends, one of them warned me not to buy too much stuff for a puppy. she said “they will either destroy it or outgrow it”. and this is an important thing to remember! it’s easy to get carried away when you have a cute animal at home and want to spoil it with all the shiny things out there. so make a list of the things your animal actually needs, and then you can buy other things as you can afford them.
