Hi Everyone, I'm brand new to this forum, Thanks for having me...
I'm feeling like a Bad Mom today. I have a Beautiful Husky/Heeler (We think), she will be a a yr old next month.
I feel like I'm a bad mom, & she deserves better then me. I'm saying this because this morning I was woke up by her at 8 am, I put her outside,she went to the bathroom, so I brought her back, & wanted to go back to bed for a couple more hours. I kicked her out of my room, because she wanted to play, & I wanted to sleep. When I finally woke up, realized my phone died, which meant my alarm also died, which meant I woke up an hour late for work. Well when I walked out of my room, the strong smell off "Poop" hits me...
uke:I went in to the spare room to find "A PILE" on my bed. After cleaning that up, & cursing & swearing:rant:, I walk downstairs to find ANOTHER pile on my carpet.
She has pooped on the floor before, but NEVER on the bed. I work 3 jobs, so anywhere from 12-18 hours a day, which leaves very little time for walks with Nakoda, or play time for that matter, & I believe she feels negelected by me. By the time I get home at 10:30-11 pm, & have been gone pretty much all day long I just want to sit, & relax.
My boyfriend was the one who got me Nakoda, but he seems to forget that she exists. He seems to think that if he takes her out for 10-15 min walk a day thats good, if he even takes her out. We have had MANY arguments about the lack of resposibilities when it comes to her. He seems to be ok for a day or two then just brushes her aside, it makes me feel so bad for my Pretty Girl, & I can almost feel her sadness when he does this. Sounds crazy but its true.
I take her to the off leash park & run her for sometimes an hour or more. And we love spending that time walking together & playing with her friends there. And I know she really misses that when we don't get to go. But when I can't take her I exspect him to take her, & play with her. She is a Husky & full of energy, & she needs that in order for her not to be destructive, & poop all over.
He doesn't seem to believe me when I tell him this, he gets mad & walks out. If I can't get some help from him when it comes to her I don't know what I'm going to do. He doesn't take her & teach her anything, he might teach her "Tricks", but manors are more important for her own well being.
I wish I had more time to be with her, & I feel like she deserves better then me for a Mom.
I'm sorry that the first time I get on here I'm venting about a Boyfriend who can't seem to grasp the responsibilities of owning a dog.
She is trying to tell us that she is bored & needs more attention am I right???
Should I try to find her a new home??? Or should I maybe just find the Boyfriend a New Home?? He works 8 hrs a day, & the rest of his time is spent playing video games...Less stupid boyish games, & more manly duties are required I believe.
I would take her out at night when I get home, but we live with Coyotes, Cougars, & wolves, so night time walking is really not a good idea....I feel so crappy, & frustrated...
