If my boyfriend or husband for that matter blamed me for a dog being unhappy or miserable, then I would put him out to pasture.
You are a good Mommy, and any person or boyfriend for that matter would understand your little rough spot and would be willing to compromise and make things easier for you. Not try to make things worse by making you feel guilty.
If you ask me this is a boyfriend problem, and not a puppy. Dogs can spot negativity, especially with those who just don't like them. And it seems to me that your boyfriend doesn't like Oliver, and Oliver knows it.
Think you need to sit Mr. Right down and have a chat.
p.s. doesn't get discouraged, like the other posters and I said, you're a good Mommy, and all the hard work with pay off.
Thinking about you, keep us updated! |
