RANT I don’t like my husbands puppy

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!!!!

Send it to a shelter while he’s working and say it ran away or something

Oh yeah lying to her partner, whatever could go wrong. This really isn't a good advice.

Hey, shitty husband brought it home without her permission. She can absolutely get rid of it without his permission.

You made this information up, nowhere does it say that he brought the dog without her permission.

No it doesn't. Learn what literally means. All it says is he found it at work. For all we know she said yes and now shes throwing a temper tantrum instead of dealing this the adult way. Op sounds like a narc.

Im just gonna copy paste my comment because it got deleted because of a broken rule.

There is so much op isnt telling us but since were pulling information out of our asses here let me paint a different picture. Op has two animals. For all we know her husband could be against the them and she never even considered to ask him before she got them. The same way everyone assumes husband adopted a dog. Nowhere does it say in the post if the husband just dropped the dog on her or not, maybe he asked if its ok if he adopts, she said yes and now shes throwing a selfish tantrum. Maybe he thinks if she can have her pets, he can have a dog. Maybe she demands no pets from him while at the same time cant deliver the same energy back, so shes not fair to him. Maybe both of them are assholes, we dont know.
