nittygritty Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 It’s your girlfriend’s responsibility to take care of her dog. She dumped the dog on her Dad after she got it and he has taken care of it for five years, the least she could do is take care of it when he goes out of town. Even if she has to go stay at his house to take care of the dog while he is out of town, that is what she should do. Lots of adults work nights, have homes, take care of their pets and even raise kids, everyday. She needs to grow up and learn how to be a responsible adult. If you don’t want your girlfriend to have to go stay at her Dad’s house to take care of her dog when he goes out of town then you should let the dog stay with the two of you at your house without making a big deal out of it and help her. 1
Purrrfect Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 They live together. It’s his business too. If she doesn’t want to take care of the dog and the dog is left alone for long periods of time it needs to be revoked It is not your dog, you have no business making any decision here. This is your gf's decision to make. and as the dog will most likely be put down if it ends up in rescue/shelter then she will hate you with a vengeance if you force her to give up her dog.
Ruby Slippers Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 A dog is a big responsibility, timewise and financially. I love dogs, but the reason I have a cat and not a dog is cats are much lower maintenance and less expensive than dogs. As the owner/"mom" of the dog, your girlfriend has to make this decision. Find a way to make it work, or find the dog a home with people who have time for it. Just be patient and supportive as she figures out what she's going to do.
