I live with my DP and our 2 dogs. They are terriers and the one in question is only 4 months old, very small energetic and still being trained. Both dogs are both in my name and ultimately, mine. I had the other when we got together and recently bought the pup. (I paid for her, jabs, micro, food, toys, insurance, leads, treats, everything.)
One of my next door neighbors doesn't like dogs. The other neighbors are fond of my dogs but grandchildren up at the minute and are playing in the garden. These children are absolutely terrified of dogs, especially lively dogs and my DP knows they are up as we spoke to them earlier. Our gardens are divided by a hedge and small fence which needs replacing as she has broken through it and escaped several times now.
I have bought one of those things you screw into the grass and attach a long dog lead onto it for them both so they can still run around plenty in our big garden but cannot escape. This is temp until I can afford a new fence for the hedge.
DP refuses to put them on it. He is playing in the shed with man things and hey presto "MEGAPIX... PUPPY GONE NEXT DOOR COME HELP"
Luckily, it was the neighbors without frightened children round on this occasion and he was able to get her back quickly. I am so sick of knocking on doors and sneaking into gardens to get my bloody dog back because my DP can't be bothered to put her on a lead.
AIBU to tell him to do it because he has no say?
