My husband and I could handle it. The not sleeping, the whining, the jumping and barking and biting. But I feel like it's not fair to our son. He was hesitant about the puppy but we convinced him it would be okay. He's autistic and he's not dealing with the disruptions to his sleep well, he doesn't deal with the barking well. She jumped up and bit and scratched him earlier and he just got this look on his face that broke my heart.
We've both raised puppies before and did a lot of refreshers on how to do it, but I think we both had rose tinted glasses on about it, especially about doing it with our son thrown in the mix. We lost our senior dog in April, and we've been looking for a new one for a few months and just had failure after failure and I'm so sad and depressed.
