I love my dog 
Where did that come from?
Well, I chilled, I forced myself to chill (that's hard for me at the minute, there's some shit going on in RL and I guess I am a worrier anyway)! And, I stopped making my life fit his, and I did some different training etc. I left him for four hours as I needed to get stuff done at work and he was alive and happy on my return and obviously didn't know it was four hours instead of three I have ignored him more (in the nicest possible way), he seems happy just flopped at my feet, he even goes into the garden himself now, probably bored of me ignoring him. I have also made DH do a bit more and left him with the DC a bit too. Just a lot of small stuff really.
But I think admitting that I wasn't enjoying it, sharing the 'guilt' of that feeling was the most important bit and I wanted to thank you all for listening.
Last week, I sort of quite liked him, this week I find I LOVE him and really look forward to seeing him. He's a good boy and he's fun!
I am sure there will be moments when I could happily send him back (the teenage years loom..) or I will find the logistic of dog ownership hard work or he rolls in fox poo etc etc but I do feel different!
