Kes1968:
Just feeling very low again, wondering at the wisdom of getting Max though the thought of surrendering him for rehoming i also can’t think about,although as awful as it sounds I have thought about it, 😢😢😢 lack of sleep, house is a mess, just feeling very low, isolated and ashamed that I feel this way. I’m sure it will get easier as he grows, has his jabs and can socialise, I’ll have a chat with the vet on Sunday when he’s having his jabs . I feel ashamed for even considering giving him up but I just want what is best for him in the long run but I can’t bring myself to do anything about it. Please don’t judge me too harshly, I’m feeling bad enough as it is

Karena:
 :hug: it wont be long before max can go out and start exploring and being out -especially as the year turns and we start looking towards spring will help lift your mood - and forget about waiting for the metrological official spring - the new year begins on January first in my book and thats when you start seeing the early signs when you look more closely. Once that bundle of cuteness is on a lead you will find people approach you to fuss him  or even just smile when they see him which passes on some light into their day -  its all positive social interaction to help build your confidence back up. 
- you seem very nervous about him but  i think you maybe have such low self esteem right now that you feel you are not good for Max when in reality you couldnt be doing any more for him - he could have ended up somewhere so very much worse -  lack of sleep doesnt help but grab an hour when you can during the day - and if the house is a mess -so be it -as long as its not physically in a mess too the point that it is potentially detrimental to you or max.
He wont be a puppy for long - once he starts going out and getting some excercise and you begin to establish a routine you will both be fine.

Thanks karena, I’ve had non stop anxiety this past few days, you’re right on the button about my low self esteem,I’m trying so hard to give him a good home, he’s a smashing puppy and will be a super dog I’m sure. You’re also right about the nerves, I’m not scared of him but I think he’s picking up on my anxiety which is not good for him either. I’ve had a few concerns about him re toileting and feeding and he’s had a couple of stomach upsets. I’ll try and get some sleep today if I can. I’m just hoping it will get easier. He still hates being handled, I’m not sure how I can manage him if he’s going to be like this

Kes1968:
The veterinary nurse had no problems holding him so it must be me at fault . I’ve no appetite and I’m not eating hardly anything, I’m just feeling that I’ve made the wrong decision having another dog so soon. I’m going to speak to the vet on Sunday , I think he’d be better off with someone more confident and able to handle him

Kes1968:
He’s not done a poo for 24 hours either m we’re seeing the vet at 330, I phoned them because he’s not done a poop since yesterday morning and they want to see him
