My mom gave away My puppy when I didn't know she was going to, and I miss her a lot. We have cats that didn't like her and she made messes a lot so that's why we gave her away, and where she's at now she has another dog to play with. I know she'll have it better up there and I don't want to have to take her away from the other dog, but I miss her so badly it hurts every time I think about it. I feel like I'm missing out on watching her grow up and I've never really had a puppy either before, just big older dogs. Anyway, I don't know what to do. Please help!

You do exactly what every other parent does for their baby. (That puppy was your fur family.) You do what is in the best interest of your baby. You do NOT do what is in your best interest. When a parent gives up their baby for adoption they know that baby will thrive in a better environment and have a better future than it would if they kept it.
They give it up out of love. You KNOW in your heart the puppy is doing better. What you are doing is trying to put your wants ahead of the puppy's needs. That's not love that's selfish.
You use this event as a huge learning lesson.
Did you research the breed?
Did you research how to take of a puppy?
How often should a puppy eat?
What should a puppy eat?
Should it eat canned food, kibble or raw food diet? Why?
How do you read an ingredients label for canned and kibble?
What should not be listed in the ingredients?
Did you research potty training a puppy?
Did you research crate training?
How often should a puppy be walked or taken outside during house breaking? What about just walking for exercise?
Was your puppy microchipped?
What product should you use to clean up messes?
What age should puppies get vaccinations and when should a puppy be spayed or neutered?
Did you use doggy gates or fencing to keep the puppy confined to one area?
If you didn't do any of those things you failed in your responsibilities as an owner. You weren't ready for a puppy.
Don't be that way in the future.
