A post like this, is so hard for a crazy old Yorkie Lady like me to believe. Assuming that it could be a real request for help, I decided to reply.
I have heard of postpartum blues, but doubt that applies with puppies.

I read all the advice the Original Poster was given. Some is so eloquent and kindly written I admit it made me think before typing. Taking a deep breath, and giving my advice now: Return the dog to the breeder, and continue the life you had before. If you really want 'a pet' I strongly suggest a computer pet. That way if you want to take off for drinks, or the beach you can put them on pause. My grandchildren love their computer pets.

I am NOT criticizing your life style or what you think is important. From what you wrote I think you regret getting the puppy, and I feel the puppy would be happier with a different person.
