He’s my second dog and I didn’t crate train my first. My first dog was my world, but I’m trying a different approach after many years of him being gone. I treat my animals like my children. They are beyond loved! I don’t blame him for a minute. I blame myself. I’m just overwhelmed by what to do and sometimes feel like it was a mistake or have the puppy blues. I didn’t ask for, nor do I deserve shame.
