Oh boy, I hardly know what to say about what you are feeling. It is true your life will never be the same again; but surely that is one of the reasons you brought a puppy into your life.
Pause for a moment and think about all those wonderful reasons why you have Marley.

I can say it gets easier to plan and incorporate a doggy into your life. There are options like doggy day care, personal pet sitting, finding all the neat places you and your pup can go. After all it is summertime, and once your pup finishes his shots, there are outside patios to enjoy a cuppa, hiking trails, swimming ponds etc.

You now have a "child" that is counting on you!. Take a deep breath, hug your pup. Go on out and buy a toy for you and your pup to play with today. If you have a purse carrier you can place him in it, and take a nice walk today.

You are truly in control of what you tell yourself. So dwell, if you must dwell, on all the positive aspects of doggy ownership.
Make plans with a doggy friend today, drop by for a visit.

It took courage to post what you posted; so.... TAKE that COURAGE and tell yourself, I can do this, I want to do this! These other thoughts are just self defeating mosquitoes I insist on worrying myself with.
