“I always seem to be the one taking care of her though. Taking her outside is a hassle. You have to do it twice every morning…she’ll never do both in the same trip.”
“She also has to be in juuust the right spot, and will sometimes spend a while just kinda shuffling in the squatting position trying to find it.”
“She also pulls when we walk to the grass, but if you pull her at all she’ll get offended and won’t go to the bathroom, just look at you offended until you give up and go back inside, only to go back out ten minutes later.”
Her boyfriend refuses to get up early enough every day to take his dog outside, and instead, he dumps it on her.
So, taking out her boyfriend’s dog has become her part-time job, and even if she and her boyfriend are both sleeping and his dog starts crying, he makes her get up to help the dog.
“And if I say no or ask him instead, he’ll beg me until I finally relent,” she continued. “Oftentimes when we’re both home in the evening I’ll take her out then too when he’ll be busy with his hobby and I’ll be busy with mine.”
“I feel like when he got a dog, he signed up for a responsibility. And while I don’t mind walking her /sometimes/, I don’t want to do this every day, and I don’t think I should be the one taking her out more than him.”
“And he never helps out with my cat! He might feed her sometimes if she asks for it, but does he refill her water fountain or clear the litter box? No! And that’s MUCH easier than taking out his dog.”
Well, she’s left wondering how she can address this issue with her boyfriend, considering she’s positive that he’s going to try to spin things and say the dog is now theirs since they live with one another.
