I need to tell my son that puppy can't stay here. He is way too much for me. You are to "match" dogs with owner's personality. I am not a high strung person with mega energy. And boy this puppy has energy for five dogs. Plus he has had a form of diarrhea since I've had him. He's been to the vet three times; once for a cough, one for puppy check, and one for puppy shots. Vet gave meds for diarrhea and meds for parasites and worms. And he still poops diarrhea four/five times a day.And he still play bites. Am at my wits ends.

I had two dogs, at the same time, a Pug and a German Shepherd and they were nothing like puppy. Puppy needs therapy. lol or something. Or I do... Something has got to give because I am a nervous wreck.

My son is not going to understand. I am not sure how I am going to tell him. I do feel bad. I do like puppy. Puppy needs a yard to play in. All I have is a little townhouse yard. I am so tired chasing puppy all day that I am too tired to walk him. He needs exercise. I need exercise. Hell, we all need exercise, but do we all exercise? I don't think so.

I am worried my son will be upset. But then I am upset. 5am and still up..I want to scream. I want to cry. I want to for once sit down without puppy trying play bite. I think maybe puppy was taken from his mama to early. Because he always has to have something in his mouth chewing or sucking. And he has ALL OF HIS TEETH. He is no longer teething. Maybe he has too many teeth. I dunno....... I just know I feel bad that I can't handle puppy. He won't use the pee pads. He just tears them up and tries to eat them.. He eats toilet paper too ....

But then if puppy goes I will be afraid at night again. Puppy barks when anyone comes around. I dunno...... Maybe I should grow up and stop being afraid... I have gone nuts. I am sitting here, spilling out my guts, at a mental health site, over a puppy.... Something is just not right about this... Maybe it is not all puppy's fault. Maybe I am afraid to get close to him. It broke my heart when my other two dogs died..I dunno... I am a mess again.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
