No one really prepares you for the puppy blues. The exhaustion, the doubt, the overwhelming feeling that maybe you weren’t ready for this. I remember the nights of wondering if I made a mistake—not because he was a mistake, but because I didn’t know if I was good enough for him. And he? He was just as unsure—overstimulated, scared, trying his hardest to figure out the world. It’s crazy how much confidence he’s gained, how much more even his temperament is now compared to puppy Fox. I truly worried he would develop behavioral issues because of his fear, and his struggles with overstimulation. But here we are, just a year and a half later, and everything is different. Here’s what I would tell that version of me: You’re doing everything right. He’s learning. You’re learning. And one day, you’ll wake up and realize that the fear is gone, replaced by something far more special than you could have ever imagined. A bond stronger than anything you’ve experienced before. If you’re in the thick of it, keep going. It gets so much better. 💛
