I recently got a little puppy and I lover her so much! I often am feeling "dog mom guilt" because she wants to play ALL. THE. TIME. and I just feel bad because I need to work and get things done around the house. I hate hearing her cry.
So cute! You definitely have to find other ways to amuse puppies. I suggest bullet sticks or Kongs with frozen yummy food in the middle of the Kong to start.

She's adorable. Puppies have ridiculous amounts of energy, it'll happen whether you are giving them attention or not. The more you give her attention and give into the crying, the more likely they'll form separation anxiety. It's an education š but completely envious of you!
@Wolfram So much energyā¦.she wakes up and just sprints around the house in circles barking at the air š

SHES SOOO CUTEEEššššššš
I agree with Wolfram . And just to add pets will normally make the adjustments whether you are with them or not and keep themselves entertained. Try to have favorite toys available especially when you are busy .
I get it. It's hard looking into the cutest face ever and feeling so guilty! Sending you and your pup love from me and my cat. š
I donāt know why but today I feel so incredibly angry right now and I was so frustrated with everything including my two dogs. I didnāt hurt them or hit them or anything but I was particularly annoyed and angry when they were trying to get presumably a bunny or a raccoon from underneath the shed, so I had to pull my small dog away when he wouldnāt budge away from the shed and i couldnāt pick him up because I was not close enough. I feel bad because I know I love my dogs but oh my god I just get so annoyed with them and on top of them everything else I have to just shut down all day and the things I donāt understand. I feel like Iām going insane. I donāt want my dogs to think I donāt love them because i was angry and annoyed at them. I know theyāre just animals and they love me and I love them. I want them to know Iām sorry for even getting mad. I wish I didnāt feel so angry and yet so disconnected at the same time. Iām terrified Iām an evil person or that I donāt love my pets or something. I started to hit myself and punch myself because I do that when I get over the edge angry. I donāt know why I feel angry. Itās a mix of anger and emptiness and I donāt want either of them especially towards my dogs.
iām crying but i donāt deserve to iāve had this thought before, my mom works and i stay home and clean and homeschool. lately i have not been doing my part and i understand why sheās upset. every time she gets upset with me she cries, and tells me how bad i hurt her. Also every time sheās upset with me, for some pathetic reason my head brings up when she hurt me as a child, she never really admitted to it but i think itās because she doesnāt want to think about how bad she couldāve hurt me or brother. slowly im starting to realize how bad of a person i am, Iām a procrastinator and im lazy. i had a dream about us arguing, i said awful things, somethingās iāve never said before somethingās i have out of anger and then i start crying. I think im a psycho, im crying so hard rn. i want to fix everything, why canāt i be different? in my dream i was mean and aggressive, and it scared me.
cause immense guilt when receiving gifts? Or when someone is nice to you, the guilt just floods every vein of your existence. I feel so awful :( awful about my compulsions, about some of my thoughts, about who OCD has made me. My boyfriend just gifted me something, and I have such a heavy feeling in my chest. Worst part is: when Iām not feeling guilty Iām spiraling over that gift was enough, if it couldāve been ābetter.ā I feel like an idiot. I donāt understand why Iām like this
