I totally relate to this puppy situation! My husband and I got a puppy when our daughters were like 6 and 9. I thought that I thought the whole thing through, but when that puppy arrived, I flipped out!!! I just knew it was a mistake. All of the sudden the baby gates were up and all the doors were closed. I just knew I didn’t want it. I was soooo anxious and depressed. I shipped the dog back to the breeder within a week. I was so distraught about it and thought my kids would hate me forever. The sweet part was that everyone had my back. The kids were like “something is wrong with mom” and knew it had to do with the puppy.
Do I regret saying yes in the first place? Yes! But it’s 100% ok to rehome the puppy if it’s not working out. Good luck!!

Dogs are children :)
I hope so.. puppies are amazing.. well mostly
That makes me sad for the puppy
I read it as having a case of the puppy blues! I didn't realize it was a thing until we got Otie and I experienced it - mine faded quickly!
Our dog pooped on our dining room table.. yes, pooped. We still laugh. Hes such a stubborn little dog
