Please, someone help me with this gross dog.
My boyfriend of 2 years has a 9 year old female doberman. I have recently (since May) been practically living at his house. Ever since I have known my bf, the house has smelled like dog urine, BAD. Since I am there frequently, I clean and clean and clean. It's REVOLTING. Every once in a while, the dog will pee on my clothes or sleep on my clothes and shoes.
I told my bf that he really should seclude the dog to one portion of the house (I suggested the kitchen since the floor is easily cleanable and her food/water dish is in there). I do not believe that she should have full run of the house any longer. He says: she's an old dog and needs to be comfortable. I say - she's a DOG.
My parents have a yellow lab that had incontenence (in the summer only - odly) who they "fixed" with Prion (spelled totally wrong). But, my bf says he has no time for getting a urine sample to the vet.
It's getting to ultimatium time. I can't keep trying to keep a clean house only to come home every night to a urine infested mess. It gets me sick. I told my bf that I will NOT bring babies into this environment.
What do I do? Am I wrong for being this revolted by the messes the dog leaves? Is it okay to force the dog to stay only in one area and not mess the remainer of the house?
HELP ME PLEASE. I am ready to kill (not literally) this dang dog!
You two are a pair alright[8|]
Your bf is too stupid and lazy to take the dog to the vet, and you want to confine her to the kitchen because she is a problem.
You have gotten the opinions of many dog lovers here on this board, listen to it!!!!
You are right about not bringing babies into this situation, both of you should not be allowed to reproduce, I can just imagine what the babies will go through in your hands.
I have a 13 year old German Shepherd, and he has had problems, I am not a big fan of cleaning up after him, but I took on the responsibility of dog ownership, I owe him a good and pain free life as I do to all my animals.
Maybe this post is a little harsh, but I had to vent[
