LOL.. big bear also thought he was a lap dog. He'd see Trixie (pug) siting on my lap and he would flop himself right on top of Trixie on my lap.. He was such a sweet loving dog.. I miss him bunches..I had him for l3 wonderful years........

My gut feeling is to keep puppy. And you have a point about dogs feeding off our emotions. I've been edgy and moody lately. Maybe it is a struggle within about commitment..I prob need to work a lil on "me" before I give up on puppy... Puppy is really a nice pup, just his energy level is way over my energy level.... I guess I can't blame this all on puppy.. Part of the problem is me and what I can deal with... And lately, that hasn't been a lot...

Crating is a good idea. I need to get one. Put that on my list of things to do....
