Oh my lord, you are not weird or alone in this. The weekend we got our little baby Samson my husband was away, so I headed up to my mother-in-law's house (she's the one who picked him up from the breeder) with my sister-in-law. I feel in love at first site, but man did Samson cry those first few nights. Right away I knew it was going to be a lot of hard work and patience. However, after two nights up north, I came home on sunday. I was by myself with Samson for the first time and I just sat down and cried and cried. I called my husband up (he was on his way home but still hours away) and wailed to him "I Think we made a mistake!!!!!!!!!" I was so overwhelmed. I called a friend who has an older yorkie and she talked me off the ledge a little bit, but I was still totally freaked out.
Samson is now 8 months and we are still having trouble potty training him. Just two nights ago I sat on the floor and cried because he peed on the carpet AGAIN!!! It's so overwhelming and sometimes you think it's never going to happen. But a few months ago, he was doing great, so I know we can get there again. |
