So my bf just got a dog and he’s about 7 months. He’s been trying to train him which is very little training and so have I when I have the time, which I barely do because of work and taking care of my kids. All he does is leave the dog outside in our balcony. He feeds him but I noticed he doesn’t walk him or take him to use the bathroom. I come home and there’s so much pop on our balcony and I’m the one who has to always clean it up.
I’ve made mention to him that if he isn’t going to properly care for the dog, then give him to someone that will. He refuses to do so. Yesterday I came home from work and saw that he punished the dog by hitting him with a can of bug spray repeatedly across the head. I immediately called the animal shelter and mentioned the incident, no one showed.
Today I came home, again, he hit the dog across the head with the handle part of a screw driver. I felt around on his head and there were so many knots. I took the dog and my kids, we’re currently at my cousin’s house. I also scheduled for a vet appointment early tomorrow. By bf has never hit my kids or me for that matter but the fact that he’d do that to a dog makes me really uneasy and want to leave him for good.
He’s been calling and calling saying he was going to have me arrested for taking his dog, I’m not sure if that’s true but I don’t care. It just upsets me how ppl can do this to dogs and not care. Saying that’s how they trained their dogs growing up. Dogs are like family to me and I feel as if I failed him.
