Welcome to PupRush.com, A Happy Puppy Parent where every wag, woof, and pup-sized adventure is celebrated! I’m Janelle Norris, and I created this little corner of the internet to share everything I’ve learned on my journey as a puppy parent. If you’re here, chances are you’ve fallen head-over-paws in love with a new furry friend—or you’re dreaming about the day you will. Either way, you’re in good company. Let me tell you how PupRush.com came to be and why I’m so excited to be on this adventure with you.
Why PupRush?
When I brought home my first puppy—a mischievous Labrador mix named Bella—I discovered firsthand how overwhelming those early weeks can be. Half the time I was elbow-deep in kibble, the other half trying to decode puppy whines at 3 a.m. After scouring the web for answers, I realized there was a gap: plenty of generic dog blogs, but nothing that really zeroed in on the puppy phase with warmth, honesty, and practical tips. That’s where PupRush was born.
- Pup-Focused: We live for that boundless puppy energy, goofy grins, and unstoppable curiosity.
- Rush of Joy: “Rush” captures the thrill of every first play session, proud “sit,” and triumphant whistle.
- Real Talk: No sugarcoating—just the real, sometimes messy, always rewarding world of puppy parenting.
