He does pay attention and plays with him and takes him for at least one of his 5 walks per day. He was the one that wants him to sleep with us, he talks to him in a baby voice, he LOVES him and gives him LOTS of attention and care. That is why I can't figure it out.
I am sick, but he does not have to do any thing related to the dog's responsibility. But he does cuz he love him!
But I do like the trial idea. That may work. I am gonna give it a whirl, it cant hurt any, right?
