My husband and I adopted a 7 month poodle 2 months ago (he's 9 now) but also moved to a different state where we don't know anyone.
The puppy is cute and sweet but he is also a lot sometimes. I WFH while my husband is out every day and sometimes I don't see him for 24h. So I am stuck with the dog all day. I spend 3h a day with him and the rest I put him in a crate to nap.
The thing is I feel so overwhelmed with the daily activities and training that I have neglected myself so much. Nothing brings me joy and there's days I feel resentful of the puppy and my interactions with him are forced. I am not able to work or feel motivated. So I am worried I'll be let go because of it.
I keep debating every other week texting the foster about returning him because I don't know if I will be able to continue. My husband, on the other hand, says we commited to adopting him but he's never home due to work. To be fair, I was the one who rushed into the adoption so I take ownership for it but I think I made a mistake.
