Thats why this is so hard on me..I feel like I have failed him and myself. When I give in to the stress of the situation, it makes me ill.So it is a bad circle of events. And I am sure Ralphie picks up on this with me.As I have said this is a long story. I just want him to be happy. And I need to get well.
Again..here it is 5 in the morning, and I am in tears..Ralphi licking my face.
The pain is really bad ..

Oh Katy please do not be so hard on yourself. You sound so kind and loving and you are trying to do your best for everyone. You are not a failure for not being able to train poor Bunny. He obviously has many issues due to prior abuse and you should not feel a failure as I have seen many posts about how long it takes to rehab issues. My parents dog also has issues with loud booming voices and black boots as he was chased and abused as a puppy by mean boys. He has never fully recovered. My sweet Buster does not always hit the mark either but I am more forgiving of him and myself. It sounds like you set very high standards and I think you should be more compassionate to yourself. Your husband sounds a little jealous of the time you spend with Bunny. Sometimes people do not understand how much we love to nurture these little babies and the joy this interaction brings us. Bunny sounds very in tune to you and he kisses your face to ease the sadness. I wish I could give you a big hug and that I had a good solution for you. All I can do is send my love and to say you are a good person, you are trying, we are not perfect in life and to set such a high standard to live up too puts on too much pressure. My heart goes out to you and Bunny and I hope things get better for you both.
