I have never had a dog before and have always wanted one. We were finally in a position to do so, so 2.5 weeks ago we got a puppy from a rescue. He is 12.5 weeks old.
He is incredibly cute and I adore him, but I'm so exhausted. He gets up twice a night, potty training is going about as well as you'd expect for someone who has no clue what they are doing. We just went to the vet today and he was diagnosed with tapeworm, coccidia, and giardia, and he is now on a med schedule for the next 2 weeks. 😭
I'm so stressed now and keep thinking to myself even though I adore him, what have I done?! I desperately need a nap. I'm trying to keep him away from my 3 cats and 2 kids and divert my attention to everything that needs to be done. I have done so many loads of laundry today alone because of the worms and potty training.
Tell me it gets better because right now, I am so overwhelmed and tired 😩
