Oh my gosh, I just read this whole thread. My heart breaks for this poor baby boy. First at 13 weeks being crated all day. Second 2 big humans he doesn't even really know yet chasing him around the house and yelling at him. And then a big gruff man getting upset at him when he is trying to find some comfort with his mommy. And yes, Mr. Nodak, you came to a forum where most of us think of these little animals are our babies. I have 3 grown children and 3 grandchilren and I love them all deeply but my Murfee loves me no matter what and he loves my husband too. But what we did, even though my husband didn't want a dog, was love Murfee unconditionally from the moment he came into our lives. I'll bet your little Tanner feels your jealously because he prefers Heidi over you. That is natural. Most animals of any kinds prefer one person over the other. My husband and kids know that I am Murfees favorite person but they don't hold it against him and Murfee loves them too. My advise would be to rehome him asap if you can't get over your jealousy issue. Patty |
