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.
hey, I honestly get this. there were points when my guy was a pup and pushing the boundaries it was miserable. they are hours and hours a day of work and they can be kind of jerks, esp when they’re young. he’s settled down so much and I’m proud of him, it was worth all the work. don’t be down on yourself for feeling the burn out though. I started paying a dog walker to take him out for the day once a week and it helped even having one extra day where I didn’t have to worry so much.
edit: also when I got covid he went a week without a walk and didn’t even complain. they can go a day if you’re burnt out. it might be nice to watch a movie with her, just play with a ball inside or something.
