Sorry, just need a bit of a moan I think. Jasper has had some health issues, and we're still tackling anal gland/itching/bad stench issues. But he is a smashing pup. He's now 19 weeks, and we've had him 7 weeks. His house training has started sliding backwards, so I'm back to singing and dancing and treating when he gets it right (he's on antibiotics, and teething, so I'm cutting him a lot of slack). He is walked twice a day, for about half an hour, mostly on the lead for the school run. At weekends, he has one short lead walk and one longer off lead walk (fetching a ball etc). All fine. He can be a bit chewy, jumps on the sofa, begs for food etc, but nothing unusual for a pup. The problem is that DH isn't really interested. He doesn't do any training, or play with the puppy. Now, I knew that DH wasn't that bothered either way about a dog, but I suppose I assumed that once the dog was here it would win him over (I know, I know). So all of the animal care is down to me. DH doesn't complain about the mud, or the hair, or the godawful stink, and cleans up random wees without comment. But I know that he sees the pup as an irritation, and it's stressing me out. Please someone tell me that as Jasper gets older it'll get less full on hassle, and more fun? Because I need to hear it.
