Hello, after about a year of thinking and researching I finally got my puppy two months ago. She's lovely and I'm crazy about her. I work until 2.30 and come straight home to her. She stays in her puppy pen when I'm at work. I justified her being alone during the day by telling myself that I finish early and that I would be home the rest of the day with her. the thing is that I live alone and I feel I completely underestimated the extent of the responsibility when you don't have someone to share your puppy with.
Are there any other members here who are raising puppies on their own? I've rarely socialised outside the house since I got her as I feel guilty about going out in the evening and leaving her again. I'm staring to feel very isolated and depressed which is not like me at all and though I hate myself for saying so, I'm not sure if I've done the right thing for Holly or myself.
I would appreciate any thoughts on this and please don't be afraid to be blunt, i'm at a crossroads and I need to figure out what to do. From a housetraining, walking and behaviour point of view she is a doll so I don't think this is just a case of the puppy stage being hard work.
many thanks
