Redditor Furious At Her BF For Getting Her Dog High, Questions Their Whole Relationship
Taking carry of a puppy is a big responsibility, and you have to have support from people around you. What happens if you don't?
Well, read this story. OP (27F) and her bf (33M) have the "cutest Pitbull" (1F).
They live in a 1BdRm apartment, and OP works from home, so the pup gets a lot of walks, spends a few days out of the week with other pups in daycare, and goes to the doggy park several times a week. She's very well-loved and gets plenty of time being socialized.
However, OP's pup is still kind of a puppy and sometimes chews on things like chargers, chapstick, lighters, napkins, knitting needles, etc. When OP catches her in the act, she reprimands and corrects her immediately but can't scold her if she finds something hours later.
She does her best to baby-proof the house and keep her entertained, but her boyfriend has never had a dog and sometimes leaves things around. OP has had to remind him to clean up and pick things up, and he insists that she should train the pup not to do that.
OP was scared for her pup one morning when she seemed off balance and lethargic and was leaking urine all over the apartment. It turned out that she had gotten into an ashtray on the floor in the bedroom and gotten high.
The vet said it happens more often than people think and not to worry, but OP was annoyed that her bf had caused it despite her reminders to be careful. She loves her pup like her own child and can't shake the feeling that this was easily preventable.
OP is wondering if she is being unreasonable in her annoyance or if she should just let it go.
OP asks:

The dog is still a puppy and does.... well, puppy stuff

Her BF is not helping

OP noticed her dog being lethargic. It turned out that it got into boyfriends stash he left on the floor.

OP took it to the vet.

The dog will be fine.

But OP is angry because all this was easily preventable.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:

Redditors spoke their mind:

OP should thinks some things through

BF couldn't even apologize for being wrong.

We don't know how weed affects dogs

BF is so very lazy and irresponsible

This Redditor has a point:

Taking care of a puppy is a big responsibility because they are still learning and don't always understand the consequences of their actions. As a result, they can be prone to making mistakes and doing seemingly stupid things, such as chewing on furniture, urinating in the house, or barking excessively.
As their guardian, it is your responsibility to provide them with guidance, discipline, and training to help them learn the rules and regulations of your home. Additionally, puppies require a lot of attention and care, from regular vet check-ups to proper feeding and exercise.
In short, taking care of a puppy is not a decision to be taken lightly, as it requires dedication and commitment to ensure your pet's safety, health, and well-being.
