I realize I shall get some flak for this and I'm not sure why I'm posting other than to get it off my chest. We got a 17th month old dog from a rescue shelter 4 months ago as a pet from our youngest son (8). He loves dogs and really wanted one. I thought about it a lot. Things like who would look after it during holidays, days out etc. In the end I thought it would be a good thing for him to have a dog. We go walking a lot so that is not a problem and I have 2 family members who could look after Dog if needed.
BUT, I have just not bonded with the dog. She has a couple of issues including hating the car and barking aggressively at visitors/strangers, but apart from that she is fine. DH and son really like her, but I've just not got used to her being here yet. I feel stressed a lot and the thought of feeling like this about her for the years to come is depressing.
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
