help me understand her better and how long will she do these things? |
Honestly, when you first posted regarding getting this young puppy and
were so determined to do it your way I thought you really looked into
what getting a puppy required. Obviously I was wrong. Sorry your exhusted
but it goes with puppy ownership! You have a newborn baby on your hands.
Would you be saying the samething about a human child? You have a long
way before your 8wk old puppy sleeps through the night and is housebroken.
Your a married woman, stop with the whinning yourself. There is no excuse
for you but there is for your puppy, it's a baby and baby's whine. It also
misses it's mother and siblings. It's too young to be away from it's mother
also and you were told that over and over.
I feel so bad for the puppy. Tell hubby to take an asprin!
Puppies are work, loss of sleep, cleaning up poo and pee, walks at night
and getting wet in the rain if need be. Heck I fall on the ice and snow walking
Buddy in the winter. It's my responsiblity it comes with the territory.
Sorry you seem so unhappy and tired and chilled from getting wet but
to own a baby your life is no longer your life as you used to know it.
It now has to be shared with this living creature you have brought into
your lives. You can't shut it off when your tired or had enough. This little
being depends on you now for love, comfort, food and campagionship.
No one said it would be easy because it's not. But in time it will get better.
For your puppies sake I hope it does.
