[quote=Anonymous]We got a puppy last December who is now a year old. DH really wanted a puppy and bit off more than he can chew. We are not a family fit for a dog. We have 4 kids including an infant, both work FT, and my job in particular is very busy with longer hours. We both WFH but the dog literally is crated all day and night. On a good day he may be out for an hour. We just don’t have the time to manage and watch him all day. DH did do training classes but because we don’t continue practicing, it was money down the drain. Kids have no interest in the dog. DH will not rehome him. There is a sentimental connection that I think DH holds on to (dog was born the day his mom passed away and he named the dog something that connects to mom), so I do understand that piece, however, I just find it completely cruel to have a dog sitting here all day. He gets a quick morning walk and quick night walk but that’s it. I literally do not have time to step up and take care of everything for the dog myself. How can I get DH to agree to rehome? How can I gently bring it up? He thinks I resent the dog so I fear bringing it up will make him think I just don’t want the dog around.

Please, no cruel comments. I really feel awful that this puppy has such a horrible quality of life. He needs to be in a loving home who has time for him. [/quote]
