[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There. I said it. I HATE my dog.

He is nothing more than a burden.

He came into my life about 9 years ago. He is a maltese. We never bonded. We were always more like roommates that coexisted. Sometimes it was nice to have a roommate, sometimes not so much, sometimes we even found an occasional thing to do together and that was nice.

Well here we are 9 years later (and a few dog trainers I might add). And I'm done pretending to like my dog or make our relationship into one of those that people post on Facebook about with such glee.

Things that the dog has done in the last 60 days alone that have led to my feelings:
1. Escaped his crate, defecated on my floor and drug tampons out of the trash. He left these over my recently shampooed rug.
2. Peed in the house despite regular walks etc.
3. Bit my baby on the cheek, not breaking the skin (because dog has lost most of his teeth) but left a bruise
4. Made baby cry on several occasions by barking at him
5. Woken various family members up (particularly the baby) with his awful barking at nothing
6. As a result of his barking, my DH and I have created a system where by which we text it's each other before entering the house so one can secure the horrible barking dog away from the baby's room and not end nap time.

I am tired of dealing with his shit (literally and figuratively). I have lost the ability to find even one redeeming quality in him.

Are you ready for the worst? Get ready to flame! When I hear of friends pets dying and their accompanied distraught, all I can think is my dog will live FOREVER just to spite me. I find myself actually jealous of their conclusion to pet ownership.

Why don't I give him away? Because I feel like even more of an asshole abandoning him. At least in this house he has medical care and food and comfort. As much as I hate him, I feel that it's my responsibility/burden to see this to the end.  Who knows maybe it will get better? Though I'm doubtful.

Anyone have a pet like me?
