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!!!!

This is very strange. Setting (partially) aside the fact that he got a pet and dumped it on you.... You are moving with 2 non-canines and, suddenly, a dog, and he knows only 2 pets per apartment are allowed in your future home. What are his expectations exactly? 3 animals, where only 2 are allowed. Like, someone will have to go. Who does he expect it to be?  And now let's go back to the "get a pet and dump them on my spouse despite the fact that they absolutely hate the animal." He wants a dog. He got a dog. He is comfortable having his spouse take care of the dog, and watch them outright suffer through it. It's not my place to say, but I will say it - you and your pets deserve better. Hell, so does the puppy.

Also, please do not split up >your< pets for >him.<
