Hi, I live on my own and have, with careful planning, decided to get a dog. She’s 1 1/2 years old. I’ve had her a week now and she is everything I could have wanted. I go out and talk to people in which I never did before. The problem being that I’m struggling to deal with the life style change and change to routine. I know it was part in parcel of having her but it still didn’t prepare me for the emotions it has brought with it. I just wanted to ask if it gets easier or any tips on coping. Thank you in advance
Things will get easier, and it sounds like you have a lot of feeling, and an air of responsiblity towards her. That is going to be motivating. If you ask me you seem to have done each other a lot of good in a week! A WEEK! I'd take pride in the fact that you've done so much in a week.
I had a dog, and walking him was great. If you take your dog to the same places regularly there seems to be a sense of community between dogwalkers, and their dogs, lol! I met a lot of very nice people on my dog walks who I still speak to when I see them.
I hope things carry on going good for you both!
Thank you so much. Is so very nice of you to say. Today marks a week and I do love her to bits. She’s all I ever wanted. I know it’s me struggling to adapt but after posting this yes I feel some what reasurred it won’t always be difficult. I’m also trying going to the same places and she seems much more confident because she know where she’s going and started to be less scared
