problem with the pups

[K9karen]

i had to take my RB Cody at 4 weeks. It wasn't planned, but his mom's owners had a severe family emergency and had to leave in a hurry, to another state.

In the beginning, I socialized him like crazy. Of course, being so tiny and fuzzy and adorable, if I was just standing with him on the front lawn, people stopped cars to see him.

I have no idea, seriously, what happened. I walked him every day (when he was older), took him everywhere. He wound up only liking a few people, specifically those he met early on. To us, he was an angel.

I hope the new owners socialize, continuously. Make sure you have a piece of smelly blanket or toy, because thankfully, that helped Cody to stop whining within a day.

I'm so sorry you're not getting parental support. Stories like this, make me miss my mom and dad even more. You sound so compassionate and hardworking. I know you'll be awesome when you get your degree.

I'm also very sad that you aren't getting support for going to school. Keep plowing forward and it will pay off for you some day. Come to Pet Talk and we'll give you some great support!!
