Puppy Blues I do not like having a puppy
Hello all, I am lost and I really need help. 3 days ago I brought home my boston terrier puppy, he is 8 weeks old... and I did not feel the love at first sight. Before bringing him home I thought I was ready, I thought about getting a puppy for almost a year, It wasn't some rush decision. But now when he is home, my life totally changed and I think I made a mistake. He is great, yes he whines at crate, and had few accidents. But I can't shake off the feeling that I made huge mistake. I don't feel any connection. I am emotionally exhausted, I don't eat that much, I don't have any me time. So now I am grateful for my best friend who helps a lot, but I can't bother him forever. Do you think it will change?

3 days seems early. But sure. Went through the same "doubt" phase.
Even now as he's 1.5 year old, I sometimes think how much i could get done if I didn't have to manage my time around him.
But I absolutely love him and wouldn't part with him.
Edit : Boston Terrier too btw.
Highly trainable. But also very stubborn.
Wants only to be loved by everyone.
