[RoxyLuv]

If Lexi hasn't perfected her basic puppy skills, I see this going back & forth w/rules-no rules resulting in a troubled/confused adult dog. The going back & forth wouldn't be such a big deal if the he followed through with the rules.

BF did give her to you as a gift, right? Does he take back all his gifts to you? Personally, I think he needs to grow up. I wouldn't personally tolerate his behavior. I had to get tough w/dh when we got Roxy as I wasn't going to have another dog of any kind who didn't know how to behave. He didn't like me much for awhile, but that's OK. He finally realized I DID actually know something! Have a good heart to heart talk with bf & come to some kind of agreement that works for both of you or kiss him goodby & you keep Lexi.
