Is it normal to want to give up a puppy after a few days?

  • Your troubles haven't even started. You live in an apartment and you get a puppy that's going to grow into a BIG dog that needs lots of attention and exercise. You're upset over a cat knocking over a few items? Wait until you have a growing German Shepherd running through your apartment, knocking things over, tearing the stuffing out of furniture, tearing up carpets, pulling down the curtains or blinds, pissing and crapping all over the place. Then, think about the fact that when you move, your deposit isn't going to cover the costs of replacing the carpet and other things the dog has destroyed and you're going to have to pay the difference. That's in addition to the humongous food and vet bills.

    Then think about the fact that you're going to have to walk that dog every day, at least twice a day, take her out to run, and she's going to demand every single minute of your attention when you're home. As soon as you walk in the door, you're not going to have a moment to yourself. Go into the bathroom, and she's going to be whining and scratching at the door. And as for all those girls you think the dog is going to attract, you're not going to have time for girls, all your time is going to be spent taking care of that dog!

    Do yourself and the dog a favor and take her back to where you got her.

    One other thing. You're a grown man, stop letting your mother run your life.
