I have rehomed a retired greyhound and feeling like I have made a terrible mistake.
I am a SAHM with 4 kids. Lo's are 11,8,4 and 1.
Yesterday I was stressed but doggy was calm.
Today he has a terrible stomach (runny poos), soiled in the house all ok if not ideal. He follows me everywhere.
The thing is this afternoon he has started 'challenging' me jumping in front of me and the kids. Jumping up and acting crazy.
I left him home today when I picked up the kids from school as the constant following me was driving me potty.
I'm trying to ignore him and instructed the kids to too but I really am not sure where to go now.
He is my first dog.
My husband is working away and hasn't met him yet.
He has been returned from a home once although behaviour wasn't mentioned as the reason (although the reason did sound a bit flaky).
I love dogs but not sure if I am not suited to them or if I am panicking too soon. My kids come first. But ultimately I don't know what to do.
I don't want to be a blubbering depressed mum just to keep a dog.
Makes no sense but please I'm desperate any comments experience would be a godsend!!!!
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
