A guy’s girlfriend has a sister who is 27-years-old, and she just got them a pretty surprising gift for their baby shower.

He and his girlfriend are welcoming their baby in under one month, and at their baby shower, his girlfriend’s sister gifted them a 3-month-old German Shephard puppy.

They live in a small apartment, so they definitely don’t have space for a large breed puppy, and he couldn’t believe that his girlfriend’s sister thought to get them a puppy without asking or bringing this up with them first.

“She said it would be cute for our son to grow up with a furry companion,” he explained. “We were too shocked but we didn’t say anything until after the baby shower.”

Although his girlfriend thanked her sister for the strange gift, she pointed out that they couldn’t handle a puppy in addition to a brand new baby.

Also, they won’t have the money or the time to invest in a puppy as well as their child. His girlfriend’s sister ignored their comments and concerns and insisted that every guy “acts like this” and pretends to have no interest in a dog, yet they wind up becoming “best friends.”

Neither he nor his girlfriend could say anything to get her to understand why a puppy was a terrible baby shower gift.

He and his girlfriend had no choice but to leave their baby shower with the puppy in tow, and the puppy at that point had already peed everywhere.

He and his girlfriend had no food or anything to set them up for success in the dog department, so they thought about what to do.

“I called up one of my friends to ask if they might want it,” he said. “He has 2 other dogs plus his place is way bigger. At least enough for a German shepherd.”

A couple of days after he gave the puppy to his friend, his girlfriend’s sister learned about what they did and she freaked out on them.

His girlfriend’s sister accused him and his girlfriend of not being appreciative before saying they took away “what could’ve been a meaningful relationship” for their unborn son.

He believes his girlfriend’s sister has been watching videos on TikTok about husbands or dads who didn’t want a dog but then fell in love with the dog, and that’s where she got the inspiration for her baby shower gift.

His girlfriend’s sister then turned around and dragged his girlfriend’s mom into this, and now the whole family believes that he and his girlfriend are awful for giving their puppy away.

“To her the least we could have done was warn her we are giving him away to someone else,” he continued.

“It’s just confusing because we told her to take him back and she said no. But now she says we should have told her before giving him up, it was already obvious we didn’t want him.”
