Many of you probably wonder how I handle having a pet while I am enrolled in college. It's quite simple, but it is a huge responsibility.
Since I have been here for almost a full month, I have slowly gotten MudLynn onto a schedule. I try to leave her to go to the barn at times I would normally go to class. She has been doing great adapting to living in an apartment. She rarely barks unless it's the mailman at the door delivering a package.
My tips to owning a pet in college are :
- Remember it's like having a baby
- Figure out your class schedule
- Set them on a schedule
- Save money by bathing them yourself
- If your friends love your pet too, let them hang out with your pet if you're going out for a while
- Have a walk routine for the pet if it's a dog.One in the morning and one in the evening.
- Make sure you have the time for a pet if you have a job.
- If you do have a job and a pet, set aside some money for any BIG vet bills.
- Designate one cupboard just for your pet's food, treats and medicines.
