It's okay, man. Don't feel TOO bad about it. Yess, people probably told you it was a bunch of responsibility and stuff before you got the puppy but until you actually experience it you can't REALLY know.
It's like - people tell me childbirth is painful and I believe them but I don't really KNOW just HOW painful it is because I've never had a baby...
But I am a major depressive and I do have a puppy and it is really fucking hard and it sucks. The dog is crazy energetic, demands attention, craps on the floor, destroys the trash, eats cat poo ... the list goes on and on and then when I yell at it for doing awful things it PISSES all over. I have wanted to give up on it many many times. She is almost 8 months old now. It is the longest I've ever managed to keep a puppy - I think she has lasted this long because we do not have carpet anywhere in the house. .. but I've given up puppies in the past. I kept thinking they would fill some sort of hole in my heart but I was wrong . . . sooooooooo if my experience is worth anything - just find the puppy a new home with someone who has the emotional energy to keep up with the little fucker and don't get another puppy....maybe get a house broken dog?
Is it normal to want to give up a puppy after a few days?
