If there are things you could’ve done differently during the first few months of having your puppy, what would it be?

As the title says

Mine would be – stop comparing my puppy (mine and my fiancee’s) to my old dog (shih tzu) who passed this March. I had her since I was 15 and now I’m 29 so she’s lived quite a long happy life. I don’t think I grieved her enough as she died weeks after my mum died in February from cancer.

All puppies have their own pace and I should’ve been more patient.

I think having my puppy now made me process the passing of my first dog and made me more patient with this new journey as a soon to be married couple with our own puppy.
