I don’t know how to explain it, I’m just kind of over her. I guess I’m burned out or something and find myself having a really short fuse. Does this happen to you? I’m really not sure where it’s coming from, it’s been going on the last three days. It’s for no particular reason. I’m sure it’ll pass, but I feel bad about it.

Edit: I’ll tell you right now it’s not gonna be a friendly conversation if you try to shame me for needing some time away from my dog. She’s extremely high maintenance, and she’s not being neglected either. I’m just burned out. She’s a great and loving dog, but she’s also a lot of work. I’m not gonna give her up or neglect or whatever. Just gonna take it easy for a few days. It’s about time we teach her how to settle down anyways.

    I’m in the same boat with my 3 dogs!

    I have an old dog with Cushing that is in the end of life stage. He’s old and mostly blind.

    Have another who is young, but has really bad environmental and food allergies.

    The 3rd is young also. She doesn’t take any special needs, she’s just REALLY dumb. Doesn’t care about food or treats or anything except play.

    My partner and I have decided that these are going to be the last dogs for us and we are sticking with cats. We have 2 cats and they are very easy to care for.
