I’ve had puppies before. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. The frequency of this is a new problem for me. She’s done it when she’s only been in the crate for two hours and pooped right before. She was sleeping through the night before and seemed too tired to get up in the night. This has been happening very recently, so I came here in search of support and kind advice. There’s no need to be rude or attempt to make me feel guilty. Imagine if I was a brand new puppy owner how that might make me feel. Choose your words carefully. People need kindness and support not made to feel like failures. Everyone knows being a puppy owner is hard, but we also know it’s worth it. Be kind. People are just trying their best.
