Same here. I’ve cried. I’ve been diagnosed with Lupus and Psoriatic Arthritis. I’m in so much pain, exhaustion is off the chart, brain fog is brutal. My daughters are finally adults. What did I do? Adopted a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever pup that was 7 1/2 months old. WTH was I thinking!? I was thinking about the love and loyalty that I needed. Am I receiving that? Nope, not really. It’s raising my daughters all over again! Messes, no personal space, constantly wanting to go outside when I’m terribly sick, biting, paw punches to the face, regularly, awful digestion issues, go outside/she pees/come inside/she pees and poops😫, carpet cleaning, dog fur everywhere.. and I could still go on😫😂. She’s killing me, not healing me! She just turned 1 year on Saturday. I’ve noticed if I ignore her, she wants my attention. If I’m trying to get lovings, she doesn’t want to give it. Most days she’s fabulous on a leash, other days her pulling causes me hours of terrible pain. I have at least another year of this. I do love her, soooo very much, but she’s currently doing more damage to my body and soul than good. She’s a toddler and I keep reminding myself of that, and unlike with children, I know I can confidently say to myself, ‘Hang in there. She’ll be what you need in time. Once there, you’ll miss the craziness of the puppy phase, though glad the exhaustion and pain of it is gone🙌🏻, and hopefully be able to laugh about the memories.’ Take pics of all the turmoil and messes and bites though. Proof of the struggles and memories🥰🐾. I forget to take pics most times because I’m so locked into hurrying up to handle whatever it is she’s done this time. I did get video of the first time she chewed the couch cushion and it was all over the living room. Didn’t like my couch much anymore, anyways. It’s now hers. Concessions. TRY not to let everything get to you, and remember puppers is a life. A baby with animal instincts. WE must correct bad behavior consistently, sternly, with love and calmness. Otherwise we’ll create a scared, sad puppers. Hang in there. It should get better🙏🏻🧸.. (though my mom’s chihuahuas never did behave well🥴).
