[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the exact same boat. I love animals, I had dogs growing up, I did allll the research. Turns out I hate it too. I'm hoping that it will get better as she gets older- we got her at 12 weeks old, she's 8 months now.

It makes it even worse that I'm "her person"- she looks for me constantly and loves me more than anyone else in the house- so there's this constant guilt that I have for feeling like I wish I could go back and undo the decision. It is just so much work and expense and I still feel like I'm not doing enough. I just got yelled at by the vet for not brushing her teeth every day. I have no advice, but wanted to let you know you're not alone. [/quote]

Agreeing totally.  I hate having a dog - so needy; but the three children adore him, and to his credit - he very sweet and has never ever tried to harm any of the children; even when they do all the crazy things kids want to do with a dog.  But, I'm his person;  I do all the work grudgingly.  It would help if we had a fenced in yard, but then I'd worry about him digging up holes all over the place.

What helps me is to plug in my ear buds and take him out.  The ear buds are so I can be in my own world, and he in his.[/quote]
