So you don't use correct terminology regarding the canine gender. You wouldn't find offense in it if you spent more time understanding their behavior. If you really want to be the good guy and your gf won't allow you to rehome her, you need class. I don't think you have a choice about keeping her or not. if you could get rid of her, you would have long ago. But she's not going for it, is she?

I know the word you are using is what would be the term used for a female dog, but I don't even use that word because I don't want to associate a common slang, derogatory word for this pup. I just can't bring myself to use the word in reference to her, and Bdog has become my pet name for her - like when I talk to her I start off with her name and then drop in a Bdog when she's excited and playing. Yes, she WAS my fiance's dog, but now that we are getting married, Bdog has become my dog too. We share the same roof and we share each others company.
I'm not arguing here or wishing to fight - but we aren't rehoming the dog...we aren't even close to thinking about it. Sorry, but she's here to stay and I'll keep working off the suggestions and answers given through the thread and I'll keep posting the results - and I'll for sure be asking more questions as they come up. Since I have been home and working, I have not been able to post new things on the simple fact that I am not there to work with her. Believe me Sunday night or Monday when I have a chance to work with her more, I'll be letting you all know how it goes.
I have just as much faith in the dog as the hope I have too. The easy route isn't always the right one.
I'll keep you posted.
P.S. I'm sure all of you already know, but simply talking and conversing with you all has helped ME in all this on many levels too. Establishing the dialogue and speaking on the thread as well as the PM's have been fantastic. It has without doubt, opened up perspectives I had not seen before. Some may question me, my intent or my attitude, but let time tell if I am evil or not. |
