The change that a new puppy can bring into your house can be so overwhelming. Many nights I would go in my shower turn it on, and just cry so I didn't have to hear Gizmo crying in the crate.
It got better, but it was rough. I posted on here many times at 4 in the morning, asking - pleading? - that it would get better.
Thankfully it did, and despite many, many, many sleepless nights and terrible mornings at work. It worked.
Some people, during certain times of their lives, aren't cut out for pet ownership. That doesn't mean that you'll never be ready, just not right now. However, it's how you handle the situation that will make you a good pet owner.
If you can't do it right now, then taking your pup back to the breeder I think is the most responsible and loving thing that you can do for your baby. That would ultimately be putting your pup's needs before your own, and thus making you a responsible pet owner.
Good luck, and keep us posted. |
