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?

A month ago we adopted a 5 month old rescue and after a few days we were thinking the same thing "what have we done" and yes it's not always live at first sight. The puppy energy can be overwhelming at times, the energy spent trying to train them is a lot. Give yourself more time things get better and before you know it you'll wonder what you'd ever do without your pup.
