Its me or the Dog

[LillyGraces_Mom]

I just don't get it. My hubby and I get in a argument about him not helping me out with our three year old and the house (I am 7 months pregnant and wore out) during the argument he says somethings he didn't mean obviously and he brings home......A DOG???? WTF ok....Im streesed out and obviously needing some help with my load (since I asked for it and he knows I am not one to ask for help) and he brings home a DOG????? The  dog is cute I will give him that but not that cute. He bites my 3 year old, tares the house up when we are gone (today for instance went with my little sister to take the kids to McDonald's for lunch and to play got back the house had trash in it from one freaking end to another. I went APE S*&^. no to mention he feels the need to poop in the kids room. I was so embarrassed the other day a friend of ours kid was playing in DD room and she said the room stank...I am a compulsive cleaner it stank because of the stupid DOG. Its not any fair he works 8 hours a day and I go to school for 4 hours  a day so of course I am the one at home, being the one at home who do you think has to take care of the damn dog. You guessed it tired, wore out, stressed, grumpy ME!!! What do I do?????

Whatever you do, please do not take the dog to the pound.  Find a new family, a rescue group, anything.....

I feel for you, sometimes they just don't get it.  Try to give a chance though.....  Try laying down some rules and a schedule?   IDK.... Good luck.

I agree with Robyn, technically it is not the dogs fault, please find it a home and kick your thoughtless husband in the nads, really you will feel much better.

Say it in a calm manner but tell hubby you do not want the dog.  Bring the dog to the Animal resue or tell him too.  Men are so stupid!  UGH!

I think most of the issues you have with the dog are definitely not the dog's fault... Your husband shouldn't have brought in a dog when your family CLEARLY wasn't ready or willing to deal with one appropriately. I feel sorry for the dog, to be honest, none of this is his fault... So yes, please find the dog a good home, he doesn't need to be put down for your husband's mistake...

Your all right its not the dogs fault but I can not handle any more responsibility right now; school, the three year old, the new baby, running a household. Its not that I don't want to. I can't and those are words I normaly dont say can't but I am going crazy I have waaaay to much on my plate as it is. I am trying to find him a new home.

Is this a grown dog or a puppy?  (weeks to 1 1/2 yr old)  First kennel the dog whenever your out or lock him/her outsided.   It needs housebreaking and daily 15-20 minutes come, down, sit, stay, out, leash training badly. 

Get a puppy how to book and make your hubby responsible for it every hour he is home.  Generally speaking new puppies and dogs are not compatible with children under 5 yrs.  It takes a mellow well trained dog and an exceptionally gentle child to work.  Humane Society or better yet a photo add on your college's want ad boards.
