[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the responses.

17:50 you offer some very helpful insights; thank you. When I've taken the dog outside I wear the baby in his carrier. There isn't anywhere safe to put him down in the back yard (the dog has dug it up so it's mostly dirt and mud, plus again she has a tendency to walk on top of him. The fact that the baby is in his carrier is why I don't like the tug of war (she jerks me around quite a bit). The carrier is the only way he's been able to nap lately and MB had asked that I use it for nap times; we keep trying with the crib but he won't stay asleep in it.

They also have baby gates up for the dog but whenever I lock her away from us she whines and barks the whole time.

I realize I didn't say it outright but the dog was noticeably much more whiny and barky the days she didn't get a walk in, but I do understand that it's not always possible. I agree that if I say anything in the future I'll try to make it more solution based.

17:51 I have to point out that my last position, which lasted three years,  had TWO dogs in the family, and I happily fed them and let them into the yard a couple times a day. They were well trained (and not puppies) and it was never a problem. Again, this is why I had expressed concerns in the interview, but it was MB and DB who insisted it would be fine. I have to say it seems really short sighted to say I'm not a good fit for the family when EVERYTHING else (especially baby related) is going perfectly,  and yes, she will grow out of puppyhood high needs likely within the next year anyway.

In any case I will definitely do what I can to manage things myself and not complain about the dog any more. Thanks again. [/quote]
