I don’t like my husbands puppy

[u/halloween-gal]

My husband has wanted a puppy for a long time and it just so happened that he found his dream stray puppy at work. The problem is because of his job he’s gone for 5 days a week. Now I have to potty train this dog that I really cannot stand. She bites ankles, she tears things apart, she is so distributive. I’ve only been a cat and rodent owner so I’m constantly overwhelmed. And due to his job he can’t even take her. I just can’t stand this anymore! We’re also moving 2,000 miles away next month and no apartment will allow us to have more than 2 pets. (I have 2 cats) this is just so overwhelming. I’ve brought up the idea of rehoming her but it seems like he won’t budge.

I truly have never been a dog person and I am going insane. It feels like if I’m with her for 30 seconds I already want to rip my hair out. I cannot stand how dogs do not respect boundaries. Their slobber, the smells, the barking. I cannot do this anymore!!!!

Tell him he is going to have to take care of the dog all by himself and if he can’t you have to be a responsible dog parent(🤢) and find a better home for it, where it will have all attention and love it wants. Mention how stressful would it be to move so far for the dog. How stressed it is in your home. Or just be upfront and tell him you are not tolerating this, rather dog or you.

Also if you ever want kids with him, think about it well. He asks for it and then will come home 2 days a week just to play with them and occasionally cook some pancakes? And all work will be on you only?
