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.
Try to keep this in mind:
You have: Your friends, family, job, school, social activities, phone, computer, TV, car, bike…
Your dog has: You!
Not trying to shame anyone here who is burnt out with a pet. I get frustrated with my dog too, but I try to remind myself that she’s a part of my world, while I’m her WHOLE world.
It’s been a few days for the person who obviously is having a bit of a hard time. Try encouraging the human to figure out what’s happening instead of trying to guilt trip them out of their funk.
What would we do with our dogs when we have two days of really bad pouring rain? Or a blizzard? Or 110° weather where it’s not safe to exercise a dog a lot? That’s the type of advice this person needs.
I don’t live alone, so not quite true.
Don’t be dense. You get what he’s trying to say.
I mean no I don’t lol, it’s literally not true in my case.
Replace “you” with “their people”
The people in the dog’s life are all it’s got.
That quite significantly changes the message.
It literally doesn’t. The word “you” can be singular or plural.
Yes, and grass can be green. It’s completely irrelevant because it’s obvious how he was using it, and he was using in singular form. Only a contrarian with nothing better to do would try to argue otherwise.
