So long story short, I was carrying my puppy when I tripped and fell, breaking my ankle. He is 10 wks now and I am so sad.
I can't play with him like I was and I can't train things that take a lot of moving around.
I really wanna cry because I wanted to be the most exciting human in his life but at this point but he loves and gets excited around everyone else except me.
I can spend tons of time with him but the fact I'm stuck in one spot is really not interesting to him. Plus he needs to be socializing and I need to rest.
I just cry trying to do as much as I can without re-hurting my ankle (I have pushed it a couple times now that really ended badly).
I then tried the quality over quantity with spending time with him but he really wants to explore and learn. And I want that for him too but I just can't.
He has learned sit, roll over, spin (both directions), "touch", down, mat, kennel, wait.
I feel defeated.
He is so smart and I want to give him the world but I don't want an unruly dog that is more work in the future just because I couldn't be engaging and set good foundations.
