 Feeling Tied Down
Logan is 14 weeks old and so tiny. I'm still having to get up twice at night (around 2 a.m. and then 6 a.m.) to take him outside to potty. So I have not slept through the night in a month.
My father has been trying to arrange a family vacation for all of us in Lake Tahoe next summer, and we cannot find any place that accepts pets (without paying $4,000/week for a rental). So I won't get to join the rest of the family.
Because of the cost to bring our puppy ($225), I won't be accompanying my husband on a business trip next month and may never be able to fly anywhere again. It's nearly impossible to find reasonably-priced places to stay that accept pets, and I will not board our puppy (that would undo all the housetraining efforts because he cannot hold it in from 4:30 p.m. until the next day!!).
I feel guilty for entertaining thoughts of returning him to the breeder, but I can't seem to do anything without having to work around his schedule for eating and pottying, not to mention that pets are not welcome most places.
Does or has anyone else ever felt this way? |
