I just want to say that I feel your pain, I am young also (22) and I bought a brand new leather suede couch and new bedroom sets for myself AND my daughter. I've had my dog for a little over a month now and I can tell you that she has peed on my daughters mattress AND my couch!! As mad as I was and had to scrub it clean, it's just something you have to deal with when you get a dog, especially a puppy, you have to expect the worse and I can tell you also that I raised my little brothers too pretty much but that is NOTHING like having your own, I have a daughter now and let me tell you puppies and kids are so much alike, everyone is right here, I have had my daughter pee my bed, couch and her bed also, it isn't fun, and it is very dissapointing since we save and try to get nice things, mine are all a year old now and do not look as nice as they did, but that is what I get for getting very expensive things with a child and in your situation a dog. I'd say bleach the spot, let it dry and get a mattress protector if your scared about your mattress and you just have to be more cautious and think a little ahead if your going to have a dog. He is still young, I had to have my dog stay in the kitchen for about a week and now thats the only place she will go to the bathroom is in there. You can't give up, I know you want too, I would too but this is something that you should of thought about BEFORE getting a pup. Hang in there! |
