history: When I got my new puppy I was so excited, the joy of adding a new member to the family was the best! I was so excited when I got my new puppy_comma_ it was awesome! Man_comma_ I'm so jealous of you. I love that new puppy stage_comma_ as tumultuous as it can be. There's just so much emotion and "new feelings" going on as you watch it grow.
current: I agree with you, the joy of adding a new member to the family is a wave of emotions, positive ones of course!
next: Yeah, but then there's also those late nights where you have to take them out because they're not used to holding their pee/poop in. And also them peeing and pooping in the house as they learn not to do that to begin with. They just have unlimited energy, so it's hard to keep up sometimes, but also fun!
