I know the feeling. Too many things are happening at once and I'm just overwhelmed and stressed most of the time. Let me tell you though. A puppy is a lot of responsibility but I promise that the joys will more than make up for it. When I had a dog, she was a lot of work. She wasn't in the best of health either so it was $ and time and emotional stress. BUT if I could have helped it, I would have never traded her in for anything. Dogs are wonderful companions. She helped my family get through some tough times by just being around.

Life is one big circle of ever-changing cycles. Give it time to adjust. Im sure you will be just fine.

Re: new beginings are making me sad and stressed

think of it as a practice run for the baby....dogs are wonderful and he will bring you so much joy...pretty soon he will be alleviating far more stresses than he gives.

please post a pic...if you did, I missed it!!!

sometimes I feel nervous and anxious about all of the ways my life is changing, but it's exciting too....

Hang in there, Things will get better. I know your pain, (I too have a puppy and 3 children and one on the way). Just relax and take your time, everything will fall into place. Best of luck, we're here for you to vent anytime.

New beginnings are scary. But you have to take it one day at a time. Yes a puppy is alot of responsibilty but you will be fine.

If you take it one step at a time you won't feel so overwhelmed. Believe me I'm talking from experience.

puppies can be very stressful and difficult but pretty soon it will be so much easier and the puppy will bring you so much joy. It will get better. Don't worry!!!!

Moving is an adjustment but it reaps wonderful rewards!! Having a puppy will be a lot of work but the 2 of you will do it together, so don't worry! Dogs are great companions, you'll have a lifelong friend in no time!!!

I am sure the adjustment with your furry friend is hard. I HATED my cat for 3 months, she would pounce on me in my sleep or stab my foot with her claw and more, She is great though and being a puppy, set limits and you will love him and they are your best friend for life. In the meantime good luck getting some sleep

Re: new beginings are making me sad and stressed

I can totally relate...The day after we got our dog Fh & I were seriously considering returning her. We couldn't but we probably would have if it were possible. A year later I have to say we've gotten used to the responsibility mostly and are able to handle it. It's almost as bad as having a kid though at times. Things will fall into place it just takes some time.
