Please tell me it’s worth it!

I picked up my golden retriever pup almost two weeks ago, and after a fun first few days the puppy blues have hit me HARD. She’s almost 10 weeks old and I’m really not enjoying things at the moment! This is my first dog and I live alone, and I’m totally overwhelmed.

Please tell me the nice things about your golden and the milestones that you hit whilst you were raising them - I need to hear that it will get better.

For info… - I have her doing enforced naps in her crate, but during the day I’m lucky if she sleeps more than 40 mins at a time. I know they need a lot of sleep, she just won’t stay down! - I’ve been taking her out in a sling every day to see some of the world (2 more weeks til she can go for a proper walk) - I’ve been working on training, she’s smart and food motivated so she’s picking things up quickly but also getting impatient/demanding - she goes straight from bored to over-tired so she’s never chilled out enough for a cuddle. I don’t feel like I’m bonding with her
