Is it normal to sometimes not like your dog ?

My rescue dog is my like. I love her.

But once in a while....I hate her.

I don't ever hit her or anything like that.

But every so often she just tries my patience.

Is this normal?

It's not normal to invent pets so people on a chat board will talk to you.

Totally normal. Is it a personality thing or a case of one too many stains on the carpet? How old is your dog?

It's also normal to feel that way towards your children.

Like a Welsh Terrier that comes to you with a delightful shiny auburn coat only to age into a bland tan that doesn’t go with any of your upholstery?

It's also normal for a dog to feel the same way about their "parent".

Is it normal to hate your partner once in awhile? If the answer is yes, then it’s the same with your fur baby. Sometimes they just get on your nerves or don’t behave as you wish. Just remember that they’re animals afterall, even humans don’t behave themselves a lot of the times. Sometimes, they don’t know what they’re doing wrong. Be patient and give them positive reinforcement. At the end of the day, they are your forever family, and love conquers all.

"Fur baby"? R10 has outed herself as the crazy cat lady from "The Simpsons."

No but it's normal to get annoyed at them.

It’s difficult living with a pet who insists they “get” FLW’s Usonian esthetic - especially when they’re yapping “paradigm”.

It’s been a long day, Ms. Chandelier, and I just want to get my drink on. Perhaps you could save the faux deep shit for someone else and take your wrinkly stink star out of my face…

From a noted dog trainer: When your dog acts in a contrary manner, the dog is not disobeying you; it's expressing fear, illness, anxiety or some other condition that needs to be examined. Just remind yourself of this the next time it happens. Dogs are a gift we have for far too short a time.

R12 is right.

Fuck, yes.

We just got the Dennis The Menace of puppies.

He's adorable but he can be such a stubborn asshole sometimes.

I love my dog we’re best friends but when I carefully-gently-as-I-can groom him he acts like I’m some stranger trying to kill him-it’s awful and the older he gets the worse he gets,oy.

HINT: You’re really a cat person.

My dog came from a bad situation and had been past around from several owners,abandoned just awful, so I let him do what he wants.He still gets stressed when he goes to the vet-just detests that but home vet visits here are three times as much!

I give her a bath when I feel a bit angry at her.

Losing patience is not “hate.” Are you ok?

by Anonymousreply 22August 21, 2024 5:19 AM

I love my dog to bits, she's my friend and bodyguard. No one fucks with my goody girl.
