Anxious about getting a mini
Hey all!
Let me preface this by saying I have wanted to get a mini poodle for about five years now but my situation hasn’t been appropriate to get one. I am finally in a position now where I know I’m ready to get a pup and I’m picking him up in a few days.
I cannot express how excited I genuinely am. I have done hours and hours of research and note taking however I’m fully aware and accepting of the fact that perfection is not a reasonable expectation to have.
I can’t help but feeling quite anxious and nervous about getting him even though I KNOW I’m not making a mistake. I can’t really pinpoint exactly where these nerves are coming from. Maybe I’m scared I won’t do a good job? I do know some of the nerves are coming from the good old “puppy blues” that I’ve heard about. I NEVER want to have even a single thought that I made a mistake or I don’t want him anymore and the thought of possibly having those thoughts when things are a little rough terrifies me. I just want him to have the best life he can possibly have. I love him so much already and I don’t even have him yet
Does anyone have any words of wisdom that they can give me maybe just to calm my nerves or some tips and tricks that you wish you knew before you got a mini poodle ?
Thank you all for taking the time to read 💛
(P.s I’ve had family dogs my whole life but this is the first dog that will be mine and I am solely responsible for)
