When our partner said that she wanted to adopt a puppy I was not gleeful about the idea. I absolutely like pets, but I do not want a rambunctious little puppy running around the house. Do you know how much work it is to train and wrangle a gleeful puppy? Too much. I knew that I did not have the time or patience to deal with such a project right now! But she went out and adopted a puppy anyway. Thank God, the outdoor air temperature changed shortly after she got our new family member. When we first got the pooch, it was seriously warm and comfortable outside. The puppy clearly enjoyed the outdoor climate as much as we did. This meant he constantly wanted to go inside and outside to laze about the sun and gentle breeze. Then, he wanted to feel a/c that we were pumping through every vent. As the outdoor air temperature began to decline, so did our puppy’s hobby level. He no longer wanted to be outside in the chilly air. In fact, he did not even want to leave our master bathroom. Why? Because we wisely had radiant floors installed in that room several years ago. The puppy clearly realized that the heated flooring was ideal for his tiny body as soon as he experienced it. Now, he mainly spends his time laying on the warm radiant floors. Thanks to our alternative heating plan in the bathroom providing ideal rapidly changing temperatures directly to our furry buddy, we barely even see him, and training has become a non-issue.
