A bit jealous of the connection and time spent with new puppy

We adopted our puppy at 9 weeks old and she now 16 weeks old, needless to say it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Also sorry for the long vent/rant.

We lost our dog in April this year, she was almost 12. I got our sweet Bailey before my boyfriend and I met, she was my girl, my best friend and you knew it. When she passed we were crushed and I decided after 5 months I needed another dog in my life and my boyfriend supposed my decision.

We found our little girl end of September, fell in love with her adoption profile, things happened fast and within a week we got to pick her up. She was sweet and cuddly, just a little dream. But that didn't live long lol, within a few weeks she started teething hard and got comfortable at home so in other words a little firecracker. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely love her.

This is where things are a bit of an issue, I work full time and my boyfriend stays with her all day. At first when we got the puppy blues, my boyfriend was questioning our choice, I was tired from waking up all hours to let her out. I will also add that our old dog passed from health issues so I was a bit of a crazy parent and worrying all the time with the new pup. We were fighting and life felt crazy.

But once we found our groove, that's where the jealous comes in because I feeling our puppy is going to be my boyfriends dog. He is an alpha and she listens better to him but he's also taking more of the training on and everything.

I know it's seems crazy but I cannot help but feel jealous. Our puppy still gets sad when I leave and loves when I come home, she is glued to me and come to bed when with me. I know she loves me and I feel like I'm crazy lol but I cannot help to feel jealous.

I would love to spend all day, everyday with her but I cannot because I'm our sole income right now. I do love my weekends with her and I know I'm a more passive person, so it's harder for me to get our pup to listen to me. Trying to fix that.

I feel foolish because our pup is loved and will have the best life with two caring parents. But I still feel I cannot help but feel so jealous.

Thanks for reading to the end and letting me vent.
