[quote=Anonymous]I was the same way op. My previous dog was my works. She had been with me through my hardest times of my life and I had her before I got married. When she died I was devastated. I cried or she’d a tear daily for almost 2 years. My husband finally got us a puppy (more so for the kids) and even though I picked her out i could not bond with her and sis not love her. I tired. It took close to a year and now I absolutely adore her. I turned down two vacations because I did not want to leave her and was worried about her. She is my pal and I love her just as much as I loved my first dog although she will never replace her.

It’s like kids. When I had my second child I was in fear that I wouldn’t not love him as much as I loved my first born. It took me a couple months to bond with him as well. Now he is everything. You find a way in your heart to love them all and look for the good and differences in them.

If your puppy is yours, just give it a little more time. If the puppy is more your husbands dog, you may have a harder time bonding no matter how much time passes and that is ok too.

Good luck! [/quote]
