And hello Cherry Blossom! Jus...Hello happy wreck! And hello Cherry Blossom! Just remember Karen, no missing doses of your medication during this joyful/stressful time of adjustment for you, your husband and your puppy. I say this because I know it is too easy to do. So not only do you need to train and love up the puppy, but you also need to keep up with taking care of yourself. If you need 10 to 12 hours of sleep, get 10 to 12 hours sleep, teach Cherry that you need that time. It is not a luxury, though it may seem that way sometimes. <br /><br />I admire your determination to be a good caretaker of Cherry. I do think discipline is important with dogs, which is why I was so poor at taking care of dogs. I have trouble disciplining myself. But you have the training and experience and you have studied hard. All this work will have been worth it someday. Please be kind to yourself while you bond with your puppy. If you can do some artwork, great, but if you can't, do not berate yourself. Puppy care and rest is plenty for now. <br /><br />All my love, Kate : )Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550316119497369344noreply@blogger.com
