My husband wanted a dog for the backyard to guard the house. I do NOT like animals in my house because of allergies and smell. He knew this. I got him a dog for outside. Well...BIG mistake. First of all she is not a guard dog. She is a whiny, loving, never met a stranger dog. She is half Rot and half Lab. She is very cute, loving and very smart. The problem is...my husband and my son have spoiled her and now (without me really realizing), she is a house dog. The problem is we have a very small house, no bigger than an apartment. The dog is 70 lbs. She follows everyone every where around this house. She has her nose up their butt everywhere every time. If someone leaves the room she cries, if someone enters a room she cries. If you show her attention she cries. She cries and cries and cries. I can't stand it anymore. I finally told them that we need to get rid of her and place her with a family with children who will pay her a lot of attention. She needs much more than we can give her. My husband is refusing. So I said fine, them let's put her outside like she was suppose to be to begin with. Well, he won't do that either.
Please don't get me wrong. I lvoe her. I made it clear when we got the dog that she was not to be in the house and he agreed. Now, that it is an issue he refuses to go back to our arrangement.
I really can not have her in the house. I can NOT stand the constant crying and pacing around she does. I really can't. I love her and I would never hurt her but I can't deal with it. It finally got to the point that I told him, "It's me or the dog".
Unless someone can tell me how to deal with her and get her to quit crying and following everybody around, I am going to have to make my husband extrememly angry with me and give her away. I don't want to break his heart or hurt him but I really can't deal with it. By the way. My husband works 2 jobs and my son is always in school or at friends, so it is me she is always with.
HELP!! this is a real big issue in this family.
