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.

Have you taken this baby for her vet check. When you buy a new puppy they should be taken to YOUR vet ASAP like with-in 48 hours after you get her for a check up to make sure she is healthy. Are you feeding her the same food she was eating with her prev. owner, she should be kept on the same food she was eating. If she is not eating or drinking water this is cause for concern and vet should be consulted.
