I just can't believe how stupid I have been.
Made the mistake of going to a pet store and falling in love with a little Mini Foxie in the window who was all by himself.
Talked it over with hubby (for hours mind you) and although he wasn't really sure, I said I was and we went and got him.
Had him for two nights now, and its 4am and I haven't gotten a wink of sleep because he just keeps crying for attention.
I KNOW that they do this, and I KNOW it will stop, but I have anxiety/panic disorder (which is/was under control with meds) and I just can't take it.
I'm also expecting in April, and I can't believe I thought getting a puppy would be a good idea.
We are building a room in our garage so my Mum can come stay with us and look after the baby when I go back to work, so we already have the stress of getting that done in time.
My husband has been telling me for months he is stressed and not happy at work, and I just rail roaded him into it anyway.
I'm having the most horrible panic attacks which I haven't had for nearly a year, and I just can't handle it.
Tomorrow we are taking him back to the pet store so that he can have the owner he deserves.
He is a precious little guy and I know none of this is his fault but I just can't cope, especially with a baby on the way.
I just got emotional and maternal and thought I could handle anything
I was wrong
Please don't flame me for getting a pet store dog in the first place, I know I should have gone to a shelter if I went anywhere, but I just couldn't resist his lonely face in the window.
I feel awful
I want to try and stick it out for his sake, but I just can't do it emotionally and mentally, I have to think of the baby and myself, and it just wouldn't be fair to the puppy.
Thanks for listening to my rant
