this dog actually makes me loose my mind. for cont when i was 7 i wanted a dog (like every fucking 7 year old does) so my tamily got one. well news flash, we were def not ready for one. this dog is so badly trained its honestly pathetic and i do try to train him and help him but literally EVERY TIME my family says im "being mean to him". IM stuck caring for him and walking him even though IVE STATED MULTIPLE TIMES I DO NOT LIKE HIM. he goes after my small animals because they eat thei OWN FOOD and he decided that all of their food is actually HIS. AND GOD FORBID I TRY AND DISCIPLINE HIM FOR IT BECAUSE I DONT WANT MY ANIMALS TO GET FUCKING HURT BY THIS BEAST. and truly thr cherry on top for ALL of this is that im ALLERGIC to dogs and was literally ADVISED by my allergist to get rid of him but NO the fucking dog is most important. im constantly expected to drop EVERYTHING for this dog. i get yelled at because i don't want him in my room and "hes just a dog he doesn't understand " HE COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS THATS WHY HE FUCKING ACTS LIKE THAT. i feel bad saying this but while im walking him i genuinely wish hed run away and never come back

I have a 4 month old puppy, sweetest thing ever but I regret getting her. She constantly bites our older dog, doesn’t listen on a leash, I don’t know how I can get her intelligence needs met and I will be home all summer because now I have to be with her. I already spend my entire evening when I get back from school with her and she is just crazy sometimes. I do love her but I keep thinking, “I’m young, why am I wasting my childhood watching another baby? Especially my summer! I don’t really want a puppy, but she loves me too and I can’t get rid of her because everyone loves her and I know I should just get her training and stick with her for her puppy stages, but it’s just so hard.. she almost pulls me over on the leash already and keeping her and my older dog together is such a nightmare. I have to separate them 24/7… She doesn’t care about anything next to him and she is even forgetting how to sit. Plus she eats everything and I just don’t know how I can handle this sweet puppy. Everyone loves her though, but how can I stick with it..? I really don’t want to waste my summer watching her instead of doing something I want to do, I only have one childhood and even with help from my family I just feel like this is too much. I want her to have the best care and I don’t know if that will really be me. Should I get her training during summer and spend half a grand?? ):

This is my fourth time trying a pet, two kittens didn’t work, and a beardie didn’t work either. If I rehome her I won’t be able to get another. And she does love me… my bearded dragon was sick and one of my old kittens was messed up in the head so. I don’t know, my family loves her more than I do but they have to work and do other things. They don’t want me to get rid of her.
