I've only had my puppy for about a week and a half, though I've been following updates on him since he was born.
I haven't had a puppy in well over a decade, as my senior dog passed earlier this year. I try not to compare them, they're both very different dogs and I expected that to be the case.
And while I love this puppy and would do anything for him, in a lot of ways it doesn't feel "real" just yet. I don't feel that same deep connection I did with my previous dog.
That doesn't surprise me at all, like I said, he's only been with me for a week and a half and we're going through all of the puppy trials and tribulations vs the stability of an adult dog…
But I guess I just wanted to confirm that I'm not the only one that has felt this way, and around what age did people start feeling differently if they can relate?
