I think the op posted because she was frustrated, and the ones that responded are frustrated along with her. I agree, when your first pup (no matter the age) comes along it's overwhelming. I felt that way, and mine came pre-trained and pre-spoiled. But when you truly desire to have something you keep at it, especially when something is a living, breathing creature like any pet. The solution isn't giving up and sticking it in the garage like someone would when they give up on guitar lessons. I'll admit that at times Kaji smelled horrible as he would just pee in his belly band and get it all over his belly. I had much work to do to get Kaji's excited peeing under control. Sticking a pup outside of the family area isn't going to help it, they're ignoring her. The OP did her best to help them make good, responsible decisions when it comes to dog ownership, which they clearly ignored. I do hope the OP's co-worker realizes what she's doing is helping the newest addition to her family. I hope they choose to either put in the work, or let her go to someone that doesn't mind the work of raising a pup and the extra work of raising one that was taken from her mother to soon.
