I have a Rottweiler puppy who is about 10 weeks old and I’ve had him for 2 weeks. I am in the middle of a heart wrenching debate with myself on if I should keep my puppy or not. I live alone and all of my family is out of state. I work full time, 10 hours a day with a 30-40 minute commute four days a week and WFH on Fridays. The first week I got him I took off of work. This week I was able to work remotely but this upcoming week I have to be back in office. My mom flew up to help with him but I know it’s a short term fix. I don’t feel he is even close to being ready to be at the house all day, even with a dog walker coming by during the day once or twice. I love this puppy dearly already and we’ve already started to bond fairly strong.
However
This week I worked from home was the most stressful week of my life and that is not an exaggeration. The demands of my job while also tending to my puppy was a level of stress I’ve never experienced before and resulted in me having a meltdown at the end of the week. It has me rethinking if my situation is even possible, both for and for him. This week, my work performance was poor and the training, consistency and care lacked as well. I really really don’t want to rehome my puppy but I’m starting to think of this is the best move for both myself and my puppy. My heart is in shambles right now and I’m lost as to what to do because I really thought I was going to be able to make this work
