I guess the title explains it really, we've had our cocker pup for nearly five months now and I'm really starting to regret getting her and I feel awful for feeling this way about the situation!
Everything's she's doing I totally expected; chewing things, being a little snappy with our young boy (mainly playfully and never left alone together) having little accidents when left alone etc, the usual puppy things. What I didn't expect is just how much I'm not coping with it all. She was very much wanted and thought about, and like I say I expected it be be hard but I just feel like I can't deal with it and the extra responsibilities that come along with her, along with a toddler and recent depression diagnosis.
She's well looked after, walked regularly, lots of play time, but she's just such a handful and I recently had to bring her with me to my family members house for a weekend and I was in tears a lot of the time because of her/not being able to cope.
I'm not really sure what I'm hoping for by posting this here, maybe advice and some one to tell me it'll get easier, or to hear from someone who's been in a similar situation who's given their puppy to a good home??
Please be kind, I'm already feeling awful about all of this!
