Like most people, I have had a crap year. I'm feeling isolated. I'm settling into a new town, so still getting to know people. No family nearby. Working from home.
I've also got a difficult grief situation going on, which I don't want to go into too much at the moment.
As a result, I'm cranky with everyone. Husband, kids, extended family. However, for some stupid reason, it's the dog who irritates me the most. It's not her fault. She's boisterous, but doesn't really do anything wrong. I just can't stand being in the same room with her. I get these terrible misphonic reactions to the little moist noises she constantly makes with her mouth.
I've seen my GP, and I currently have a lot of stress /grief that I need to work through. I have an appointment with a counsellor. I just don't know what to do with my dog in the meantime. I try to treat her well, but I feel like she's being neglected, which makes me feel guilty, which makes everything worse.
