Hi all, just wondering if I am being unreasonable or is DP? I have told him countless times that I do not like him letting our nearly 3 month old puppy out with the other dogs on her own. I always worry she will squeeze down a very small gap as she is tiny. This concern was justified when ky neighbour told me that one day she squeezed through the gap in the gate luckily she grabbed her and handed her back to my partner who was outside but not watching her.
he regularly lets her out without his shoes on or something so he has to spend a few minutes putting those on before heading outside.
Que to this morning when I woke up and I heard our dogs outside so I looked out the window and saw the 3 dogs running around and no DP and I heard him downstairs.
I proceeded to shout downstairs to him that he was doing the one thing I have asked numerous times not to do and that the puppy was outside on her own. He responded that she’d had an accident and he was cleaning it up but he is keeping an eye on her. I said how could he possibly be keeping an eye on her when he is inside. He said well you get up on with them on a morning which yesterday I was up from 5AM sleeping on the sofa with them so it’s not like I don’t get up with them.
He is now not talking to me. I tried to explain yet again my concern with it and that it wasn’t the first time I had said this and he just blanked me, turned his back around then walked off. I’ve now said to him that my feelings were justified and that if he wants to ignore me that’s fine because I know I could ignore him a hell of a lot longer so it’ll just go on all day.
just wondering if I am being unreasonable or is he?

The only gap in fairness is the hinge on the gate which our over 2 dogs from being puppies have never been able to fit through so it’s just our youngest who is a smaller puppy for her age. The garden is generally safe everywhere else.. I’ve been in the garden before and she’s got stuck behind a water butt etc. so it’s just supervision is probably wiser when she is so small.
my issue is that every time he is letting them out, I end up asking where she is because he hasn’t kept a dutiful eye on her.
They are like children so it bugs me that when he is outside with them he is on his phone or just not watching them.
