I've spent so long researching breeds and reading puppy books, that when a breeder came back to me yesterday saying her litter was bigger than expected and she had a puppy for us, I was sooo excited! However, I woke up at 4 this morning and kind of freaked out (like you do when you realise you're pregnant!)
I started worrying about it all and how we will cope.
The puppy will be 8 weeks when we bring it home.
How do you do the food shopping
The school run
My weekly swim
Spend a day at the beach as a family
How long are you tied to the house before being able to go out with your pup and how long before you can go out for a hour or so and leave the pup in an enclosed space (kitchen/crate)?
We were hoping to wait until September but before winter but I've come to realise that nature doesn't let you be quite that specific!
Is it really as bad as all that or can they slot into life if you chill and go with the flow...?
