Frustrated today...tomorrow will be better?

Today started with Meadow waking me at 6 AM (7 AM is my usual time to get up) howling like a Banshee. OK I get it...new home, away from Mom & sibs...that's not the problem...the day progressed well at the start. She went out to do her biz, no probs. I had a couple of coffee's, she went out ( I pay attention to the signs ;) ). She had her breakfast, drink...out for her biz...no probs...then.

I went out (the wife was home with her) came home & all Hell broke loose. During dinner (ours) she wouldn't stop pacing, makin' me think she had to go out, which I took her only to get a dribble. I would keep her out there just to make sure to no avail. This happened a few times.

Then my wife & daughter went out shopping...now the FUN begins. The pacing & whining became worse (side note: she had her de-worm pill today) no matter what I did outside with her she became more & more aggressive & because it's a little chilly here still & with no one else to take over on the next round I was getting frustrated which I think she sense. Only to maybe heighten her "frisky" mood.

This didn't change once my wife & daughter came back home in case your wondering. We have only had Meadow here now for three days & I know the first few are an adjustment for all but, is it normal for her to become aggressive & totally opposite from one day to the next? She has been so good with the outdoor training the first two days & today was a bad day.

If I sound like a newbe...I'm not...it's just been 12yrs since I've had a pup in the house & maybe I've lost some patience & basic knowledge of being with & training a pup. Right now she's sleeping on the floor looking so gentle & angelic I can't see why I was so angry earlier.

Please don't think that I'm a bad guy or wanted to or did hurt my baby...I would'nt or did. I would just like some help or maybe assurance that this might be normal new baby behaviour & it will pass or it's just a power struggle that she needs to get over.

Any & all comments & suggestions are totally welcome...otherwise why would I post this here ;)

Thx!
