Trying to keep from it hurting to bad once Buddy was gone.
My in laws tell me to gid rid of him all the time too.
This has not been easy on anyone. Buddy is stressed out the second Rick walks in the house, Rick's upset because I won't get rid of a dog that does not like him, and I'm stressed out about he entire thing!!!
This has put so much stress on our marriage, it's been very hard for us to stay together!!!
What sucks is that Buddy will have days like when I took the pictures, but then the next day Buddy will just walk past Rick and grunble/growl!!! It's like one HUGE emotional rollercoaster in our house! The only one 100% happy is Sierra!! (Lucky Dog )
Awww, my heart hurts just reading that. I totally feel your pain. My husband and I don't argue much, but when we do, it is about the animals. 99% of our fights are over the dogs. It is really painful for me because I've lived with and love dogs all of my life. I never even noticed any of the "flaws" like digging, fur, poop, etc... It really sucks to constantly hear from him and the inlaws about my dogs.
