I feel bad. Puppy just wants to be loved and cuddled and I want her to get away from me. I feel horrible but I can't deal with her right now.

I know the situation. Sometimes when we're feeling down on ourselves we just want to be alone. I'd just make sure you don't yell or hurt the puppy, make sure it's fed and watered properly, and come back to it when you are feeling a little better.

I'm wondering... are you feeling guilty or just angry... or both? I read "I feel horrible" and I feel curious about what you are feeling in totality...

Agree with this.

Also want to add that pets can be highly in tune with our emotions, more so than we realize. Maybe your puppy knows you're down and is just trying to make you feel better?

The great thing about animals is that their love is so unconditional

I feel guilty that I feel angry. She is very high energy and it's a little hard to take some days. She will keep jumping on me and pawing at me for attention.A leave me alone, have mercy type feeling.

(((IowaFarmGal))) - sorry you're struggling. Could you or do you have a responsible neighborhood child, who could take your puppy for a long walk or play in your backyard. Dogs need the chance to get their energy out. Giving him some safe toys or chew sticks would also help. When you feel up to it, let him sit with you and cuddle - he may make you feel better.

Puppy is very aggressive toward anyone not in the immediate household. I do go hiking in the woods with her sometimes, which she loves. It's just I've been very low energy lately.

Sounds like you're feeling very pressured and would like some peace and support... I hope there's a way for you to get those...
