Im 14 rn and i decided to adopt a puppy from my friend. I got a puppy because hopefully it would help me stop feeling like shit everyday (i know im probobly going to get criticized because im 14 and i feel like this but hey). Every day i wake up and feel really shitty and sad, I'd stay in bed and i wouldnt get up until my parents yell at me. I cry myself to sleep every night. I feel like this for personal reasons. I became tired of feeling like this, i hated feeling like that. So i wanted to change and give myself a reason to live. I adopted a puppy and i named him Uno. Me and my 12 yr old sister took care of him. We give him food, water, attention and love. We loved him. We would clean his potty and stuff too! And the best thing is, i actually was excited to wake up again, it felt great knowing i had something to do. He helped me regain happiness.
It has only been 3 days since i got him and that's when reality struck. Its near the end of my school's christmas break. With only 2 weeks left until it was back to school, i realised that there was a huge problem. Uno is not potty trained, he has a biting and nibbling habbit on humans and/or furniture, and he has separation anxiety. With only 2 weeks left i realized that we wouldn't have enough time to train him to do this. He's only 3 months old and which means he can't really be trained yet. Since he has separation anxiety we have to sleep with him in the living room cause he cant sleep upstairs with us since he isnt potty trained, the problem is, how can i do this after the Christmas break ends? I cant stay up all night cause i hafta wake up early for school. And my mom isnt helping since she doesnt like him, so him nibbling everywhere doesn't help. Nobody is also in the house cause me and my sister go to school, my mom goes to work and my dad works abroad. I realised that the only solution in giving him a better life is to just give him back, and hopefully find a better owner.
I know it's only been 3 days but im so attached to him. I love him and i know he loves me. He sleeps next to me, he even rests his head on me. He asks me for belly rubs too! I'm crying so hard cause I really don't want to feel so empty(?) again. This dog is the only thing keeping me from spiraling down deeper into sadness. I love this dog even though its only been 3 days since i got him. Help me, what should i do? A.) Give him away so he could have a better life but I'd feel melancholic(?) or B.) Keep him but this choice is sort of unrealistic since there isnt really much time.
