[quote=Anonymous]We have a 7 month old puppy, a sweet breed of dog (purebred).  The puppy indirectly injured me 2 months ago and I'm having a really tough time with it.  What happened is that I was walking down the stairs and the puppy raced up the stairs, got underfoot and tripped me.  I fell down the stairs and sustained a permanent injury that bothers me constantly (not a broken bone).  This injury will never go away according to the Drs. and I am bothered by it every minute of the day.  This has been really hard to adapt to, especially because it involves a body part I've never had any problems with.

Anyhow, I am having a tough time dealing with this and I feel resentful towards the puppy for causing this injury to me.  I regret getting this puppy.  We are experienced dog owners and have had dogs for 20 years, all the same breed.  We also have an older dog, same breed as the puppy.

The puppy has other challenging behaviors--he chases and play attacks our older dog several times a day, really annoying her.

He's also extremely mouthy and chews everything. Our other dogs (who we all got as puppies) never chewed to the extent this puppy does.

I'd consider returning him to the breeder because I feel he is not a good fit for our family but my daughter (age 5) is super attached to the puppy.
