It's a thing! Those were some dark days in the first few weeks…trapped in the house, not getting any sleep or a moment to myself, and constantly being bitten and jumped on.
I'm a planner and I had meticulously planned for George's arrival. What I hadn't anticipated was the emotional and mental exhaustion, and the feeling of isolation and overwhelm. Not to mention the accompanying guilt that you shouldn't be feeling like this.
I stumbled across something called Puppy Blues and was so relieved to hear it is a thing! Other people feel like this too!

There are lots of happy moments too, and moments when you are overwhelmed with love for your new arrival. It does get easier and goes by quickly. This too shall pass. And you find yourself looking back fondly.
