Am I wrong for wanting to let the dog runaway?

[Anonymous]

My fiancé recent got a puppy. He’s now 6 months but for the past 2 weeks he’s been gagging and throwing up. He usually eats it (we’ve tried to stop him) but he does what he wants so it’s whatever. Early this morning at 3am the dog shits…no SHAT everywhere in the cage and outside of the cage along with his throw up. I woke my fiancé up and he was pissed but we eventually cleaned it up. Mind you I’m pregnant so I’m already sensitive to smells.

Basically we were both up all day from that point. I come home from work, clearly the dog didn’t feel well since he hasn’t eaten. I’m home three hours and I see the dog pissed the floor. I’m annoyed not because he did it but I’m pissed with my fiancé because he didn’t care.

I get it he’s tired of cleaning up his mess but he was adamant about getting another fucking dog when that shouldn’t have been a priority. I tell him to take the cage out of the bedroom because I’m tired of hearing the dog gag and throw up because he decided to swallow something he shouldn’t he doesn’t want to do that.

Im thinking about the fucking germs. He’s constantly throwing up and i don’t want my baby stepping, touching or even inhaling dog shit, piss, throw up etc!. Leaving it there or waiting until he feels like getting it up is fucking disgusting.

I don’t hate dogs I miss our old dog that passed, but this new puppy is just too clingy and we can barely handle our business because of it!

I’m more pissed that my fiancé is complaining about being tired but I worked all day, cooked the day before so i try to sleep as long as I can. Getting woken up at 3am with the smell of pure sick shit was not on my agenda so I’m basically exhausted and the man don’t give a damn.

Tbh sounds like a lack of responsibility and care from your partner. If he wanted a dog that badly, he should be taking more care of the dog and the issues related. Honestly terrible time to get a new puppy too when you’ve already got a baby on the way that you need to take care of. Ofc I don’t think you should let the dog run away or anything. Maybe give some sort of ultimatum, either he takes the cage out of the bedroom and take more responsibility for the dog and their messes or you guys give the dog away. But definitely you guys need a serious talk about it.

im also with you on the worry about the baby with all the messes around, definitely something that needs to be fixed before your baby starts learning to crawl at the VERY least.

Of course it's wrong, and it's cruel. If you let it run away anything could happen to it. It could get mauled over by a car, get eaten by wild animal, die of heatstroke in the high temperatures. It would be confused and afraid and missing it's home, hungry and thirsty. Or it could very well land in the wrong hands, you don't know who could pick it up.

Just be straight up and honest with your husband tell him you hate it and to look for a better home for it, that would be a lot better

Of course you're wrong. That's incredibly cruel, just letting your dog run away. It'll starve, be hit by a car, killed by another animal, or injure itself and not be able to recover. It'll be alone and miserable for the rest of its life, wanting its family and not knowing why it was abandoned. If you want to be rid of it so badly then talk to your fiance about it. Find someone else to take it in, or put it up for adoption. But for the love of God don't just abandon the poor thing to fend for itself

You better not. It’s a fucken puppy. It doesn’t know any better. The better thing to do is take it to the vet

Nobody is getting rid of that fucking dog I just want his ass out my bedroom. I’m not like most people I don’t have an obsession with pets. I don’t harm them but I’m not treating a fucking animal better than a human. Again my baby’s health is just as important if not MORE important than the damn dog.

Oh honey if I didn’t care he wouldn’t even be in my house. I feed and walk his dog more than he does. I’m tired of cleaning after him, his dog and working/cooking

Removed my comments cause you cannot handle the truth. Good luck child.

You need to grow up.

Oh, love, it sounds like you're caught in a real whirlwind of frustration and stinky situations! First off, let's acknowledge those feelings. They are absolutely valid, especially with a little one on the way and heightened senses due to pregnancy. But let’s also sprinkle a little love on this tough situation. Wanting the dog to 'escape' might feel like a tempting solution in the heat of the moment, but it sounds like the core issue is needing more support and communication with your fiancé. This is a classic case of needing to tackle the problem together rather than letting it drive a wedge between you. Dogs, especially puppies, are a handful, and when they're not feeling well, it's like having a toddler times two.

So, instead of dreaming of the dog finding new adventures elsewhere, it might be time for a heart-to-heart with your fiancé. Express not just the frustration, but the concern for your collective health, and the extra burden you’re carrying. It's all about teamwork, love, and maybe finding some professional help for the pup. Believe me, addressing this now will set a precedent for how you handle challenges together in the future. And remember, amidst the chaos, finding a moment to laugh together can be the best medicine. 🐶💖
