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. |
is there a reason you chose to be so rude here? yes i am tired, i did catch a cold, and it is very frustrating raising a newborn baby puppy. i'm sure if you have ever had to raise one yourself you might actually remember it being hard, challenging and at times you may have been frustrated and needed someone to tell you to hang in there and it will get better...if you would read my last few posts you will see i've had a change of attitude and things are actually going really very smoothly now...i don't understand why you don't seem to recall feeling the same way and offer to encourage me and help me to feel better about it rather than to tear me down and make me feel bad for feeling frustrated. hasn't every single person on this forum been through some form of frustration over their pooch?? i'm sure we all have, it happens, they aren't human babies as much as we'd like to think, they aren't our own flesh and blood that we love and care for in the exact same manner as a child...granted we love them, they are dog babies, and they need us to take care of them, but dogs are not human (Ceasar Milan) not to mention i'm sure 95% of mothers of newborn baby humans feel just as tired, overwhelmed, frustrated and upset that their baby is up crying all night and won't seem to stop...it's not abnormal to vent a little frustration over something like this and to ask for advice on how to help teach a puppy or learn to have more patience. instead of scolding someone for getting a pup maybe you should try encouraging them to be patience and things will get better??? by being rude you only stress people out more and that doesn't help them to feel any less frustrated...
not to mention if someone posted on a baby site about how upset they were and frustrated i'm pretty sure no one would post back with:
for your child's sake i hope you figure this out!!! (which is basically what you have said to me)
i'm a good person and take great care of my dog, GOD FORBID i get a little overwhelmed and frustrated at this new experience and GOD FORBID i might be tired or sick from the cold and rain or sleep deprived and feeling ill, and GOD FORBID i actually seek encouragement and sympathy from people who have been there before me and have advice for how they got through it...
have you forgotten what it feels like to be a new puppy owner? or have you only forgotten your manners?
