It’s okay to have hard days with your pup.

It’s okay for there to be bad days with your puppy. Are they fun? No. Are they exhausting? Yes.

My almost 6 month old has been in general a good puppy. We’re still working on the peeing inside the house, but we are really making progress.

Yesterday was an incredibly hard day. Friday she got shots, and it affected her poorly. Saturday and Sunday our normal routines were interrupted. We got back on track Monday, but it was a struggle.

She wasn’t listening at all. Forgot how to walk on a leash. Was SUPER hyper, refused to sleep long. Jumped on the trash bag as I was taking it out, tearing it and somehow only grabbing the most chocolate donut that was thrown away. Grabbed it whole in her mouth, buried her face in the couch and basically swallowed it whole in the matter of seconds it seemed.

I mean, it was just a mess. Bedtime was a little early last night and we woke up today, both with a better attitude.

But everyday isn’t easy , not everyday is the same. I just want to encourage my fellow puppy owners to know it’s okay to scream into your pillow and take a deep breath. It’s also okay to leave them in a safe area, and just walk away for a bit. It’s not always going to be this challenging and some even say that we’ll forget the chaos 😂.

Hang in there my friends.
