Well, this is a good point in your life to do things differently - you get to start out fresh. And all the responsibility is yours this time - so, do your very best by little Smokey, and get all the good advice you can from the great APBT people here, along with the members who are experienced with raising puppies.

Did you get emancipated? (don't have to answer this if it's too personal) Or living with another family membeR?
Only reason I ask is because if you got emancipated, since you're barely 17, you've got a long hard road ahead of you I'm afraid, if you're living on your own (or even your BF). It's going to be really hard taking care of a puppy.  good luck though. The puppy will not only take away time from other things, but also money. I hope you're able to afford him. Who's puppy is this? Is it yours? Your BF's? Or both? Who will keep it if you guys split? With only going out 2 months, that's definitely something you are going to need to think about, something you should've asked yourself first. But now that it's done, you need to think of this now, while the puppy is still young. Quote:

It seems to me like no one takes into account what could happen, they want what they want and they will get it at all costs. Then when it goes wrong they blame others. Or their situation, when if they would've looked at it before getting the dog (or having a baby) they would've seen they weren't in the right place to be getting a dog (or having a baby) anyways.

I totally agree with everyone here. This dog has the odds stacked against him and he's only 6 weeks old
Well, we'll see how it goes. Maybe he won't end up like the other 4 she's had to get rid of.

Another point, do you realize how difficult it is to find a place to live with a Pit Bull Terrier? I've had people refuse to rent to me because I have a border collie! Honey, don't bank on your boyfriend being there to support you in the future. Make your own life and allow him into it, but you're not doing yourself any favors by relying on someone else for everything!!
To everyone in this thread: I agree with you guys but at this point why don't we try to offer Cowgirl some advice and support for raising her new puppy? Even if he doesn't spend his whole life with her, the work she does with him now will make all the difference in how he acts when he's older.
