To hate the dog

[gta]

We have a 10 week old puppy . I am 8 weeks pregnant with the most horrendous morning day and night sickness and my sense of smell through the roof.
The dog is NOT house trained and seems to be going backwards rather than improving. He is shitting and pissing EVERYWHERE. Pooing in his own bed. Eating his own poo. Vomiting his poo up. Weeing in his own bed. His bed is washed multiple times a day, new beds have been bought.
I can't cope . I am crying everyday with it all it's disgusting. I dread waking up in the morning feeling sick, being sick and then cleaning up all the piss and shit he's left all over the kitchen floor . I can't stand him being near me . I'm at a complete loss st what to do but I'm absolutely miserable and hate living in my house with him. Please help

Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong all this time, and if I rub a bit of Vicks under my nose I won’t have to pee on ketones sticks any more 😒

Interesting. I have a cousin who is currently regretting pestering her DH for a puppy, despite knowing her DH works long hours, etc. and “jokes” about him escaping, being a “bloody nightmare”, because he is having toilet issues, etc and she has two small boys. Every time I go there, he’s in his cage or locked in the conservatory. They’ve had him about 3 months and I know the DH does the walks after work, etc and really wants to keep him. But I strongly suspect she’ll get her way and if so, she will go down in my estimation immensely and I’m not sure I’ll be able to hide my feelings. I actually really wish I could just take him, but then I know they’re hard work and that I’m not up to the commitment they deserve.

No offence to you OP, you’re sick, got the dog before pregnancy, etc. I get that.

Vicks? Bloody vicks? People with HG can't even tolerate their on saliva in their mouths. HG affects u hard and fast. It's serious.

This poor woman has this puppy and a child and is pregnant and is so much hell. What about her health?

OP- could someone raise your puppy whilst you are so ill? I can understand your dh and possibly your child won't want to c the dog go forever. You need to recover and get strong for your family.
I hope you dh supports you and together you find a solution

If the dog is not working out, rehome him.

Not fair on him OR you.

@ellephant
If your puppy was crying in the crate then you didn't crate train properly. It doesn't involve shutting a distressed dog in a crate. EVER.

Please rehome this dog while their little and cute and stand a good chance

You have enough to deal with. Please, please return the puppy now. It deserves a loving home where it can get the attention it needs now. Treating a puppy badly now will set it up for a miserable life. Parking it somewhere temporarily is not the answer. You might think it best for you, but it isn't the right thing for the puppy.

Look, all the people who think dogs are great, fine, whatever. Carry on.

But this poor woman really shouldn't be dealing with a load of dog shit when pregnant. There's the HG for a start, and her health generally. And her baby's health. I'm sorry but the health of a human baby is far more important than any dog.

You need to rehome the puppy if you are feeling this way after two weeks, its not fair on him at all.

Read your update.
I'm sure this thread hasn't helped your spirits but I hope you're able to do what's right for all of you.
It's sad. It's so hard.

I feel for you, I had HG and there was no way I could have coped with looking after a puppy. The smell of my husband made me sick, and he wasn't shitting on the floor.
You've had good advice about rehoming,take it, regardless of what your husband says. X amount of months dealing with hg and a new dog and then a newborn sounds like hell.

Vicks to treat HG!!! I've heard it all now. At least you didn't suggest ginger biscuits.

OP, very sorry to hear you have been crying all afternoon. I feel like we have possibly been a bit harsh on you but, as other posters have said, it really is just in the interest of ensuring your dog is loved and well cared for.

Take care of yourself and I truly hope the sickness eases up soon.

Good luck op, hope your DH sees sense

The posters who are comparing the needs of a puppy and those of a baby are absurd. We grow babies inside us they are a part of us and to criticise and suggest OP won't cope with her baby because she cant stand a dog is not valid. Dog faeces is on another level of disgusting to baby poo. Its smell is different notwithstanding hyperemesis and I have changed nappies for going on 5 years without issue. I physically retch at dog poo and if my kids step in it I chuck the shoes purely as i woukd vomit cleaning them.
I hate dogs the saliva the poo the wee. Dog owners seem to hate anyone who doesnt love dofs. I dont get it but would never get a puppy even though my son woukd love one. It was a bad choice and there remains time to do the right thing.
The dog needs to be rehomed.

Hasn’t the OP already got another child?

I read it the same way FreudianSlurp.

I can’t believe how many people are still telling the OP to return the dog. He needs to be rehomed responsibly, not sent back the a back street breeder who only care about how much they can make.

In the meantime could you find a dog sitter to care for the puppy while you decide where it goes? Don't ask your husband, tell him. He's not looking after either you or the dog.

God people are horrible. Poor puppy. Ffs step up, be responsible and get this puppy to a reputable rescue - while your DH is out if necessary.

Poor puppy, what it needs right now is love, training and exercise. And possibly a diet change if it's eating it's poo.

I understand you feel ill but your expectations of a puppy you have had for only 2 weeks are way off.

Did you do any research before getting the puppy? Regarding training, breed temperament ? Etc ? You need to read up on positive reinforcement. Rewarding good behaviour and the need to be consistent and repetitive until it sinks in.

Glittery have you RTFT?
A back yard breeder and a partner who says she can't give the dog up!

Are purebreds not at risk of loads of diseases if not bred properly? Sorry if ignorant I dont know? Besides letting puppies go too early how do you know the breeder is bad?

I have a pup and they are hard work to begin with, seems this poor pup needs a good home as soon as possible. Dogs feel if you don't love or like them. Poor thing is probably very insecure and frightened. P.s wait till you have to change your babies nappies! Not for a couple of weeks but a couple of years please find this pup a home pronto and never have another pet ever. Morning sickness or not there's no excuse for hating a poor defenceless animal.
