will this have an affect on my puppy?

[Opium88]

why the hell is that degenerate still living at home at 21? why don't your parents tell him that if he lives under their roof that behavior isnt tolerated or he can leave? Maybe file a restraining order. is that possible?

Okay, so we've established that you're 15 and can't move out just yet. But you definitely need to do something here. If you can't stop your Brother and your Parents don't do anything. I think you should let someone else adopt that poor Baby. If you love him as much as you say you do. Surely you want what's best for him? We Yorkie Mum's protect our Babies, no matter what. You're not there to watch him. You're at School. You don't know what terrible things your Brother is doing to that Pup when you're not around. That is worrying. That Puppy deserves better than the life he is having to cope with. This is animal cruelty. That is not acceptable!

[Opium88]

Do you have a friend nearby who's parents know about the way your brother torments you? Someone who could maybe puppysit for you when your at school in exchange for you doing some kind of service for them as payment? like washing their car each weekend or something? You could walk her on your way to school and pick her up on your way home... Someone you trust that you know would be better company than your brother?

[BunnyGhourl]

There's no one to puppysit. I tried calling child services and told grow ups about everything he does, not just to my dog but there's no one who actually cares about me to help here. He found out he has a job now so he'll be gone a lot, but until then I'll keep my puppy with me. I do home school so the only time im away is when i go to the mall... sorry for sounding rude to some, i know that giving him away would've been best but i can't not only wouldn't my parents allow it i wouldn't be able to handle it and people here don't have much respect to dogs

I think your brother is abusing you and your dog. His teasing is mean and threatening. Since you are only 15, I understand that you don't have the ability to stop him. I understand that your parents aren't taking his behavior seriously. Can you and the dog at least get out of the house when he is around and awake? I am sorry that you have to put up with your brother.
Handle your dog gently and love him. he will love you too.

This is good advice!

Yea,, he's veru abusive...especially towards me. I'll try to go outside with my dog whenever he is out of his room. My dog at least eat now and plays more but is still a little scared when he wakes up

[Opium88]

So I just realized that you're in Africa. I'd imagine things to be quite different there than here. from how authorities deal with children to how much worth is placed on an animals life... heavy... Well one thing that doesn't change is human nature, and if he's doing these things it's most likely just to get a rise out of you. Is he like this towards any//all other animals or just yours? Is there a certain underlying reason for his animosity towards you? Is he jealous? Does he feel second best? Does he have his own friends or is he not very popular? Does he get picked on and then takes it out on you? What does this behavior stem from? If you know that, then you can figure a way to counteract it, and possibly change his behavior...think about it and let me know.

I really think you need to talk to a councelor at your school about the very abusive and scary situation you are in at home. I know you may think your situation is common but believe me its not please seek some outside help you dont deserve to live like this

From my understanding she doesn't go to a school. She is home schooled. so there is no "system" to protect her.

I know this is all so terribly hard for you, and just want you to know I truly feel compassion for your situation...I can't even imagine being in your shoes. I just hope that you and your pup remain safe at all times, and can be left alone by this brother. You and your pup do not deserve to be treated badly, at any time!!! (((HUGS)))

Oh my goodness, you poor girl, what a terrible situation to be in

Ok, I would like to tell you about our lodger, Anne. She is a South African lady, who now lives in our country. She moved over here many years ago, basically to get away from the troubles over there.

If we go away and are unable to take Harry with us, she is one of the very few people that I would trust to look after him...they have an amazing rapport and love for one another.

If you would like me to talk to her about your situation and the horrible difficulties you are going through with your brother - then please, you only have to tell me and I will. I was thinking that maybe she could give some advice, as to who you could turn to - she knows 'the system' over there.

We truly all are trying to help Big hugs from the UK!

He is the gross/creepy type of guy. He doesn't have any friends, he hates everyone and say the worst stuff about them behind their back, he doesn't shower, brush teeth, go out or help around the house. He stays in his room and act like a jerk when he's out. He only does it to mine and my mom's, he pretends to be the sweet boy in front of other people

You could talk to her but there's no one i can turn to. The only way is he needs to leave. I don't know if you mean just about my dog, if that's it, then yeah it could work but towards me...when he acted with me in a way that's very not brotherly i told my aunt but my uncle did something to me and now i can never trust them again, i also spoke to my youth pastor's wife but there's no solution. I can take whatever he does with me, i don't care but i need him to stop with my puppy

What do you mean when you say "When he acted with me in a way that's very not brotherly"? And "I told my aunt but my uncle did something to me"?
