She's my brothers dog. My brother is in hospital awaiting some surgery but he's fine...the dog is an unneutered female greyhound....18 months old. I have two DC and a cat!
I have had the dog for ten days now...I keep her in the sitting room and garden whilst my lazy cat lives upstairs as usual. However, my cat has to come down twice a day to eat and say hello...this is his habit.
So I keep the sitting room door shut at all times...to avoid them meeting. This results in two stressed out DC...they're 5 and 9 and can't exit and enter freely....and the dog wants to be nxt to me all day naturally as she is insecure....so when she can't follow me into the kitchen she whines and howls.
She barks all night so someone sleeps downstairs near her.
She has been in heat...and my sofa has had to be covered in towels as she leaks....she wont' go in her basket...and once you leave the room she jumps on the sofa.
My Mum works part time, two hours each morning and has a three bed house...with garden and she is avoiding taking her turn with the dog. SHe claims "I won't be able to get any sleep" and "I wont be strong enough to hold her when she tries to follow me out of the house in the morning"
Well I am sick of the dog now. I have done my best...there's no money for kennels....AIBU to tell mum "You'll HAVE to have her on Thursay as I can't anymore."
She will likely only have her for about 4 days as my brother should be out on Monday anyway!
