I hate my girlfriend's dog

[goddess_nemesis]

So it's been 3 full months....actually one full month. I was in training in another state for 2 months. The dog annoys the hell out of me. He listens sometimes and I enjoy taking him for walks....but I like my space. And romance with the girlfriend is out of the question unless we leave the house or we're in the bedroom....the no dog zone. Putting the dog outside....even for a few minutes results in annoying whining. I think i'm more sensitive to the whining than even my girl friend.. a big rottweiler whining..it's like seeing a grown man cry it's weird.

But today sort of sucks. The dog is old.....approaching 12. When my girl came home today he jumped up to see her....only to whine(pain whine...higher in tone). It looks as though his hip is going out. He won't even eat( I left him one of my left over BBQ ribs and he hasn't even touched it!) Anyway my girl who is pretty tough broke down in tears breaking my heart. I just read another article on the progression of the hip ailments and it doesn't look good. Euthanasia seems to be the common end. Now I'm upset about how upset she's going to be when that happens.

I'll have to take her on a trip when that happens.

Damn. All I want is my space and for it to listen. Maybe some doggy listerine mouth wash. I don't want it to die. Geez.

Man, that's tough. I'm so sorry for your girlfriend. I lost my dog back in October; she was 10 years old and it was very hard. I still miss her and it's been five months. I can't imagine having to consider euthanasia. 🙁

I love dogs so I find it hard to understand but I think there might come a time where you get used to the dog and learn to live with it. It appears you never really had a dog in your life but I can tell you that a dog can grow on you very quickly.

My mother in law (God rest her soul) vowed she would never come to our house if we got a dog. It didn't stop us and who do you think was spoiling it mnore than anyone... that's right!!

This is why I prefer cats to dogs. They are more independent, more self reliant, and definitely quieter.

And you're right, GQ. Hip ailments usually lead to euthanasia. The alternative is to have a doped up dog that literally lays down and collects dust. And that is no way for an animal to go out.

GQguy - I can totally understand where you are coming from and I am the girl with the annoying dogs. My dogs have come close to ruining at least one relationship. I hope for your lady's sake that her dog's health improves. I have always had large breed dogs myself and bad hips are commonplace. Best of luck to you both.

I will also second the sentiments of TicklishHope and others regarding the animal cruelty jokes - not funny!

I find my feelings towards dogs depends on the breed generally the bigger the better. We used to have two, a very loyal obedient Boxer who I hated and a completly untrainable , aloof , hooligan of an Afghan Hound who I loved dearly ,figure that one out . Apologies to anyone who has any but I just cant bring myself to regard those little yappers as real dogs. Nowadays I prefer cats, no trouble at all and theyre cute. One thing though for me personally their are few things worse than watching a loved pet on its way out .If their is no chance of recovery a quick end is for the best (sometimes easier said than done though.)
