Future Chocco Boy (Welcome Hugo Bear! )

This too shall pass…
It’s so difficult when you’re sleep deprived. Every little thing seems magnified so that even the smallest issues are overwhelming.
I wrote the update on here and just wanted to curl up and sleep and it’s like he knew. He snuggled on the couch with me for an hour and a half and we cuddled and snoozed away.
You have a lovely bond already, so hang on in there and yes, this too shall pass.
 
You are doing a fantastic job with Hugo and I can see his personality shining through in the photos :heart:. I remember my junkiie looking hands and bursting into tears due to tiredness. Yes it does pass but wonderful that you can vent on this forum.
We all understand here.x
Kudos to you as I had others to help during the day.
You are already a great team and nothing beats snuggles and snoozes on the sofa. X

Oooh! I remember the bitey stage! GGJ, possibly now the gentlest dog in the World was once without doubt the bitiest puppy in the World, or so it seemed to me at the time!
You're doing really well, hang on in there and it will all be so very worth it! xxx
 
We forget what hell it is having a puppy! We go into it with stars in our eyes and then faced with a seething monster (as it seems!), then suddenly at about 6 months they gradually change and we are on the beginning of the journey that leads us to the greatest companionship in the world. Hang in there. Fabulous photos of him x
 
@Kelsey&Axel I’m sorry Hugo’s had an upset tummy again. :confused: I understand everything your saying and everything your going through. Unfortunately I haven’t got any answers on how to get through it easier or quicker only that it does get easier and you will get through it. I now actually have moments when I say “It’s like having a real dog”:rofl:
 
He will be worth it (he already is).
I can't imagine bringing up a puppy on my own AND working.
:hug:
He definitely is, that’s one thing I can honestly say this time is I have no regrets or resentment feelings towards him like I did my last two pups. It’s very much a deep feeling of love and understanding probably backed up by being educated that there 100% is light at the end of the tunnel. But yes, working and raising a Labrador puppy is a lot mentally and physically! Not having a break either with the constant sleep interruptions with a runny bum really didn’t help last week, but we made it through that hurdle and hopefully no more bum issues 😥🤞
 
Thank you everyone for words of encouragement, needed to hear it ❤

This is exactly it!

I cannot WAIT for this haha. But between you and @HAH just going through this and seeing you guys coming out the other side, sure helps 😅
