Hi, everyone -
It's been a little over a week since we picked up Teddy, and he is the sweetest little yorkie you can imagine. We both love him dearly. However ... and this is my own fault ... I have never had a dog before, let alone a puppy, and had no idea Teddy would be this much work! I love him and am going to get through this, but I get so overwhelmed and teary, probably from sleep deprivation (he's a terrible whiner when we put him in his pen or his crate). My boyfriend, bless his heart, is so good to Teddy, but gets frustrated that I'm so weepy when I was the one who wanted a yorkie for years and years! My boyfriend's mom says I have baby blues, and that it's normal to feel overwhelmed, and assured us that it's okay to put Teddy in his pen sometimes so he isn't indulged all the time. Has anyone else felt like this? I feel so silly crying like this, but I can't help it. We both work days and it seems like nothing gets done anymore, we're both so involved with Teddy. Any advice?
