PLEASE,any one who has ever been nipped at or bitten by someone's DOG ,pls go goggle dog bites. It's Horrific. So many people on this tread with comments like " my partners dog bites occasionally" " I've been nipped at" Dog growls and gets nippy" etc. Doesn't matter if its a small or Large they can both do some serious damage. I've had my face bitten,when I was little,like my lips taken off ,and I've had my tendons on my hands but. Did you know getting bit on HANDs is the worst and can take months to heal? Way too many posts here with " sometimes the dog bites my hands." Don't fall for the " my dog isn't aggressive,it's just a little nip,he's never bite you" sob story.

My long time partner and I house his adult son,for free( Whole other story) .1 in the past we took in his sons dog,while he lived w his gf. It came to us starved! I mean totally mangey and thin. So vets,food,the whole nine,got that dog healthy again.Eventually died. Ok 2. Took in his adult daughters dog that was dumped on her by baby mama. Never socialized,totally anxious French poddle. Pretty smart but barked forever at everything. Freaked out around kids,walking etc,would shake in car. Of course I ended up walking it,toileting,grooming,etc. but the dog was sweet on me. Eventually she moved out ,took dog with her because her mom refused to take it back after promising it would only be temp. Eventually step daughter rehoused( surprise)lol. So finally living dog free. 3 this is the WTF. Two days ago partner comes to me with sob story about sonny boy telling Dad that his counselor suggested he go ahead and get a dog because " he was depressed from no having a dog,and that's why he binge drinks once a week ,because he's sooo lonely" BS. TELLS DAD he's getting a dog and he'll sleep in his car with it if it's not Welcome. Does Partner step up ,say no,have boundaries? Course not because he's a dog nutter too. Instead sets me up to be bad guy. Gives me this whole" mayby it'll help him not drink" Delusional speech. I tell him no, we're not ready,remind him of costs,what happened previously,etc,etc. Can we talk more,yadyadyad. Tells me ,told his son I have to say yes first. Right cause it's all myyyy fault. Even though last time HE would lose his shit( not me) because dog wasn't being taken care of and he didn't want to come home having to deal with it. Anyway we go inside and Wooff. Tells me he'll talk to son. Dude and Dudettes ,this is one massive dog! I come home tonight and and I'm friendly to dog( she had a female owner so can tell she already wants to be with me.lol.So I say out loud, is she walkable,she's gonna be a 2000 THOUSAND a year dog,etc. Just saying things out loud ,but not being mean or anything. Suddenly Son whips out all pissy about what I said. Then Daddy comes to his Defense. I BLEW up at them both told them they can pay for the house themselves,told them they don't respect me,I really BLEW up. They ran. Lol. But seriously. The son can't even afford life,works only 6 months,no unemployment bennies. I am so upset. It's not even a hatred if Dogs. But I hate people who act so fing righteous and attached to these animals,AND THEY don't even Care about these animals. They don't walk them . Let them stay alone all day, don't train,etc. You know the drill. Will leave them with their bladders bursting. Like Dogs should live outside. It's cute at first then it's all hair, drool,and neglect and they don't even see it. How do you get a dog that big when you won't take it out to exercise. It's disturbing how they claim to love dogs but really they treat them like garbage. I don't want to deal with this. My boyfriend also just lost his job,so I don't want to be the AWhole,but literally ,this is a pattern and it's going to get ugly eventually. These people are so selfish. I don't know what to do. I was in a rage. If I say no,there will always be resentment. If I go ahead ,I'm doomed.i never said yes to this Dog! And now I'm the bad guy and we are not talking. I'm stuck ,because I don't see anyway out of this.
