I agree. Regardless of whether or not it seemed like no big deal to you as the boyfriend, it was a very big deal to her. When you truly care for someone, anything that upsets them, upsets you. The fact that you are making light of this whole experience troubles me. You are more interested in excusing yourself rather than trying to make up for your lack of responsibilty in something that matters very deeply to your girlfriend. If the situation were mine, I would have issues with my boyfriend and would definitely reconsider the relationship. Not because of "just the dog" but because of the fact that my boyfriend didn't care enough about my feelings. One of the reasons why I love my husband so much is because he respects my feelings and whatever is important to me, is important to him too.
