Thanks for the encouragement and support

I just want to say thank you to everyone posting words of encouragement for new pup owners. I cannot believe how challenging this puppy journey has been for me and my family. I listened to all the podcasts. I watched all the YouTube videos. Yet still I was not even close to truly understanding the full body drain that was headed my way. Reading encouraging and uplifting posts here has truly kept my spirits up. Thank you to all of you. I have recently compared my mental state to post partum depression, which I had after both of my daughters were born. This puppy stage has brought me back to those dark times, and it is taking every bit of me to pull myself together and keep myself together. Anyway thank you again everyone. I had no idea how impactful this subreddit was going to be. Our puppy is almost 11 weeks old and we are making progress every day. Thank you thank you thank you everyone. Knowing I am not alone has been my everything.
