Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love having him. I have always dreamt of having a dog of my own for many years now. He is 55 days old, and I knew that puppies could be a bit handful. But I never realised it would be this hard. I am constantly running behind him, cleaning and wiping him after he goes potty. I am trying my best to potty train him, and I genuinely don’t know what else to do. I am always cleaning up one thing after another. I love him so so much that I would go on a war against the entire world for him. I have only had him for five days now, and I know it’s not supposed to be easy.
But I am not able to keep up with all this. I have to constantly tend to him. Plus, at night, if I am not in the room, he cries so loud. He is constantly whining and crying if he doesn’t see me. I haven’t slept properly in five days. On top of this, when he excretes, he eats his poop. This is giving me the worst headache. When I pot and pooping, I immediately pick it up, but any poop at night, he eats it, and there is nothing I can do. I am so stressed out all the time. I am worried that this is how my life is going to be. Is he suffering from separation anxiety? Or am I doing something wrong? Please, I could use any advice.
Desperately, A first time dog owner.
