New Puppy Checklist – What you need for your new puppy

puppy_pamper_checklist_blue_web

Over the past couple years I’ve been asked several times by new dog owners on what they need for their new puppy. Going to a pet shop without knowing what you need can be daunting. There are aisles and aisles full of pet products. So I compiled a list of essentials for a new puppy with the help of some friends in the Dunham Lake Australian Terriers Facebook Group.  I may think about a list for recommended toys and specific lists geared towards hiking or swimming. For now, I hope you’ll enjoy this list of everything you’ll need for your new puppy.

Black’smith Amatriciana Pasta

There’s a pasta franchise in Korea called black’smith.  I was at the Gangnam location (yes, the same Gangnam as in Gangnam style!) Their menu had pizza, pasta, risotto, and of course grilled steak. I ordered the amatriciana in the photo above. The amatriciana has bacon and chili flakes that gives it a spicy edge. The sauce was nice and juicy but not at all watery. It was so good it left me craving for more.

The atmosphere was really nice and the interior design was inspiring! I’m afraid I forgot to take a picture of the lights. They had the fiery look of a hot piece of iron that a blacksmith would hammer out. They also had a huge oven fired up in the kitchen that’s open to see from the dining area. It’s a little difficult to see in this photo, but if you look right next to that monitor on the counter-top you can see that guy looking into the oven to check the pizza.

Seoul Children’s Grand Park

Seoul’s Children’s Grand Park is a great place to have a picnic with family and friends. There is a separate ticket for the amusement rides but the park itself is open for free. They also have a small zoo with a variety of animals. This elephant couple was the cutest!

This peacock was magnificent! I was a little sad that there was a fence in front of it rather than a glass window. He was walking around shaking all it’s feathers. I wonder if it was stressed or if it was trying to impress the female peacock.

Most of the animals were enjoying a nap. I missed the feeding hour so they must have been full and sleepy.

The flowers were also in full bloom. I love seeing all the colorful flowers this spring. It makes the world feel alive after such a cold dreary winter.

Have you been enjoying the spring flowers?
