[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with anxiety and mild depression, I can’t tell you how much a puppy exacerbated those conditions. A puppy is every single day, every couple of hours when they’re younger and every single day, 3-4 times a day even when older. There is no I don’t feel up to it today when you’re down and the neediness and dependency of a dog really made my anxiety significantly worse. I had to do some major work on managing anxiety related to having a dog, which I’ve come through. But it was tough. [/quote] Yikes- I can see that side too (for me, not my kid) which is why I am more into the older one. I don't mind walking the dog, feeding, taking it to places, and think once it settles it will be nice. It's the biting, aggressiveness and up all night that I don't want. A newborn seems easier-- at least I could stay in bed and nurse lol Would you feel an older dog would have been much easier for you and your anxiety vs a pup?[/quote]
