Hello, I'm winnie. I'm new on here and I'm also new to having a puppy. Lillie, my pup, is a 5 month old yorkie (i've been trying to upload a photo, but have been unable to do so).

I only just got her yesterday. I was so excited to get the puppy- I drove almost 6 hours to get her. I've wanted a puppy for years. But now I'm scared and I feel like I've made a huge mistake. I cried this morning. She's cute and all. But she isn't potty trained, neither is she crate trained. I'm scared to let her run around the house and I keep a watchful eye on her. Even then, she's had 4 accidents in the house- she peed thee times and pooped once! She barely eats and barely drinks water. Doesn't like the treats I got from the pet store. I really don't know what to do!! I was so looking forward to getting the puppy. But now I feel like I made a mistake, an expensive one and I'm almost sure the breeder wont give me my money back... Is it normal to feel this way?

I thought I was going to be raising her with my bf, but he just said I was mistaken, so it seems like I'm supposed to do it on my own. I don't know if I can. I think I love Lillie (I mean I just met her yesterday) But I already love her, and I feel like she loves me. She follows me everywhere (unless she's going to be naughty i.e. potty where she shouldn't). She loves crawling in my lap and licking my face. She's so peaceful- she doesn't bark or cry (even though she doesn't like being put in her crate- which I plan on making her sleep in tonight for the first time). I just feel so lost and alone in this. Is there something wrong with me? I want to keep her, but I don't know if I can. Can anyone please advise me or like just tell me what it was like when they got their first puppy.. I don't want to feel so alone and hopeless.
