i see so many posts about people so sad and depressed and having such a hard time. I'm so sorry they have that experience!
for my now 6 month old puppy and the 3 ive had in the past, it was always just a delight and joy to have them as pups! the way they are so eager to learn and play and curious, it brings me so much joy.
i lost my soul dog 6.5 months ago, and got my new baby a couple months later, she of course isnt a replacement but the joy of her and the bonding with her is a balm to me. things she does reminds me of things my lost girl used to do,( and helps me to remember those things that i may have forgotten as i have memory issues. )
yes theres hard moments, frustrating and exhausting, but overall its a positive wonferful time for me and the puppy.
i encourage you all to just enjoy them, try not to worry so bad that they aren't perfect yet, theres plenty of time to train them. this window of being a puppy is so short and special! it is a time to bond, a time for them to learn about you and the world, they will never be this curious and this playful again, so savor the experience. and get help if you can & need it especially during those first couple weeks when they're needy and can be overwhelming.
i want to hear more of the good moments you all have with your puppies.
