@kriskristnight Lordy. I needed to see this. My wife pretty much took the day off yesterday and took the dog because the night before, I had kind of a puppy exhaustion meltdown. I would never give our dog away, but that particular day was just brutal. He started the day out by biting me on the chin. Hard. And he wouldn’t let go. He really pissed me off.
So yesterday, she kind of took over. She had him in his crate a lot more than I would have. She put him on a schedule, which is something that I am also not good at. She kept him on a leash in the house, which prevented him from attacking our youngest kid, which has been a constant source of frustration for everybody in the house.
I slept a lot yesterday, and then I made dinner for everybody. And while it was cooking, I realized that everything she was doing is stuff that I should’ve been doing, but I was so tired and aggravated, I wasn’t having good ideas anymore. I thanked her for giving me a “recovery“ day. But it’s good to see lots of people who are loving on their dogs. I know we will get there. But the day before yesterday? I was really having a hard time. Clenching my jaw, trouble sleeping, and aggravated pretty much the whole day. So today I will regroup, and I know things are going to get better. Have fun with your puppy love today everybody.
Oh, and PS: my wife is the rockingest wife in the history of wives.
