Animal lovers annoy me

You don’t like your pet?? Or just overstimulated by it lately? I love my dogs but damn do they get on my nerves lol

Tbh I think I’m going through pet regression due to my pregnancy. Everything about her just irritates me. And when she does bad things or makes my dislike and low tolerance for her worse. I keep her at an arms distance. I’m hoping that things will change after giving birth which is why I’m not making any big decisions about her rn but I honestly do not know. I take care of her the way she should be and honestly better because I believe all animals who are chosen should be treated right but I rather her not be around me. I also have cats but they do their own thing so I don’t have to deal with them as much..

@Makaila when I was pregnant and for a while after I had my son, my dogs seriously got on my nerves. I had more important things to worry about. I took care of them. But I didn't want to cuddle them. I was touched out. my son is 2.5 now and I'm just starting to get cuddly with my dogs again.

I totally get it. I love my wiener dog so much but she gets on my nerves so bad sometimes. I’d NEVER actually do it, I cannot stress that enough, but my pregnancy rage has me wanting to just punt her like a football when she starts acting up. I can feel my heartbeat in my earlobes when she starts acting cheeky, but she’s just so darn cute LOL! She is so beyond spoiled though, she eats home cooked meals and sleeps in a cozy bed beside mine. (I won’t let her sleep in bed with me bc she literally takes over the whole bed if given the opportunity, plus she’s a hot dog and I can’t deal with the heat, especially being pregnant LOL) I also fully believe that dogs know we’re pregnant and “act out” in a way because our pheromones weird them out or something. I can say it gets better after you have the baby, at least it did for me. I’m pregnant with baby number two right now so I’m going through all the hormonal crap again 😩 it sucks but it does get easier!

It’s very common! I loved my dogs first pregnancy, even got a third! But after I gave birth I couldn’t stand them and it took about 2 years to like them again and I’m pregnant again love them but one yaps so much he makes me soooo mad. I think I will be In the same boat after I give birth again. Maybe just have your partner (if you have one) make sure to give her love for you! I’ve asked my fiancé to make sure he loves on them as I probably won’t be able to stand them lol. Maybe remind yourself too that she loves you and she is just a dog so she can’t be perfect 🫶🏼 I hope things get better for you !

I appreciate yall for making me feel validated and not crazy!! I have this love hate for her like I love her and she’s adorable but I also hate her because of all the annoying things she does. I also do believe that she’s acting up partially cause of my pregnancy because she only does these things around me 😭😭😭 I also banned her from my bed because she’ll pee and poop without warning even though she is potty trained so I lost trust in her but I have her bed literally right at the head of ours so she is still with us can see the door so she knows there’s no danger and she isn’t alone

So many people act like it’s a sin to dislike a pet but don’t understand that life isn’t perfect t and there are so many environmental factors at play I love her but hate her and I feel bad because I had a dog I absolutely loved as a kid and I just haven’t been able to love this dog the same way but granted I got pregnant like 4 months after bringing her home 🤦🏾‍♀️ and she’s only 1 and change now 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

My husband and I learned we hate dogs lol he has always grown up with dogs and they annoyed him. I had one dog we got when I was in high school and while I absolutely loved him then and before having kids but after was not great. By the time my kids were born he was going deaf and blind and was having kidney issues so he was constantly having to go out or he’d have an accident which when you have a small baby and a toddler it’s hard juggling dropping everything and running to take them out. And having kids on the floor where a dog is constantly peeing is disgusting. We had to put him down end of last year and I feel bad about it but it was a huge burden off me as the people who were meant to take care of him were never there. We just found out our oldest is allergic to dogs so we will definitely be using that in the future 😂

@Tessa I had a dog in my childhood I absolutely loved but hated how he was treated. Which is why with this dog no matter what I’ll never do to her what was done to him. But man I feel you with the young kids and dogs peeing on the floor l. It’s actually one of my triggers. The other day the dog was laying down and decided to pee right in front of me then poop and my daughter stepped in it then got it all over me when she had me pick her up because it put her in a bad mood. Things like that are my biggest ughs. I understand if we leave the house and she’s in the cage and uses the potty I don’t blame her for those moments but when she is out of her cage and she does that knowing she is fully potty trained it’s just so disgusting to me. I feel like a major difference with this dog and my childhood dog is that as an adult and parent the things that I’m noticing now I didn’t notice as a kid because I wasn’t the one solely responsible for him. He was just my angel that was there when

I needed comfort. When he made messes my mom took care of it so that aspect never crossed my mind until I took her place as the mom to young kids taking care of the family dogs messes 😭😭

I feel ya. My dog keeps eating all my Houseplants lately the bitch 😒 My husband feels the same way about 1 of our cats whom routinely scratches up the doorframes. We still love them and care for them but definitely don't like them at times when they're playing up

I love my cats but man, I can't STAND dogs. They've always been overstimulating, intrusive and gross to me. But when I was a kid dogs lived outside like the other farm animals. I love animals but I just can't stand when people compare dog ownership to having kids. Sorry you chose to be a slave to a dog?

@Tessa when we got pregnant and we're house shopping I had to have my now husband re-home his pitbull. She made me suicidal she was so clingy and anxious. I hated how my day was dictated down to the hour by a dog. My cats I can leave them for a week and they're fine

@Alex sounds like a miserable dog to have to live with tho

@Tiffany I'm not a massive dog person to start off with, so I don't have one because I'm fully aware of the extra effort and work they take 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

@Alex her husband should rehome it. I can't imagine keeping an animal that's actively ruining your marriage

@Tiffany she is

@Tiffany well this dog isn’t ruining our marriage she is just making me miserable during my pregnancy. I don’t know what sharing the screenshots on here would do because I know I’ve said the same exact things

@Alex apparently you don’t because you’re here judging somebody with actual emotions they are allowed to have about their own family pet!!

@Makaila you need to communicate with your husband, get rid of it or whatever. You don't sound happy

@Alex if you’ve never experienced it you shouldn’t judge anybody!! Make sure you screenshot and share all my other comments to please and the comments that I am replying too

@Alex actually I’d like it if you screenshot the whole thread and put it in my comments so everyone can see what a bunch of idiots and hypocrites yall animal idiots are!!

@Alex besides me saying I’d never have gotten her if I could, wanting her away from me but making sure my husband feeds her (with the healthy additives included), making sure she’s walked and clean, and my daughter being the only one to really love her!! Where in there shows she’s being mistreated!!!

@Alex a lot of you have low comprehensions skills and it shows. This dog is a literally trigger for me so it is safer to keep her away from me for my mental health and her comfort but she always comes around me still. If I abused her would she really still want to jump on me and would I still have to kick her off the bed everytime I wake up

@Alex you don’t even have a dog yet you’re judging!! Different post but same answers so you really did nothing there!!! I hate owning a dog while also being a mom to young kids. It is unsanitary Stressful Demanding Hard And triggering If I could go back in time I would make the decision to never get a dog!!!! I barely like the cats but they are self reliant for the most part and don’t bother me unless they want more food or want I wake up to them on my bed!! My dog is happy and healthy and me not liking her isn’t abuse so you should definitely post the whole thread so they can see the idiotic comments from you and the other idiot

And bro kennel arrest really triggered yall that much 😂😂😂😂😭😭 dude that’s the only thing yall stick to 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I didn’t know putting her in her comfy safe space kennel for 30-60 is so bad. Then taking her out. While I clean her mess and gather myself!!! Her kennel would be even comfier if she could stop tearing up her beds ( Which fyi she does regardless of if she’s in the kennel or not!! Y’all animal lovers really are annoying to me!! And like I said on the other post. Yall annoy me more than this damn dog does!!! And I hope if y’all ever experience pet township you never complain and if you do you both get judged the same way yall are judging me for having raw emotions

Let this post be a warning to anybody looking into getting a dog rn!!! It is not peaches and rainbows!!! Having a dog in child hood is a whole different experience than having one as An adult especially if you have children!! You are allowed to regret owning a pet!! I don’t tolerate abuse but you are allowed to do what you feel like will make your home and you and your kids safer!! Especially if it means putting the dog in a kennel!! These hypocrites are idiots!!! Do not feel bad for having human emotions about an animal you take care of that is making life harder for you!! Do not be made to feel bad for doing what you have to do!!!! It’s ok to not like your pet!!!!! It’s ok to have negative feelings towards them!!! It is ok to not want them around you!!! It’s no different than having an allergy to them but this one I call a mental and emotional allergy!!

@Tiffany he and I have already talked about it. I told him while I am pregnant I do not want to make that decision because I feel like it could be a main reason in my distain towards her due to pet regression that some pregnancies can cause. I have seemed counseling regarding it but there’s not much that can be done. After having the baby and getting into a routine if I still feel the same way we both agreed that rehoming would be the best despite the sadness me little girl would feel we rather her go to another (fully vetted) home instead. It’s ok to not be a good match with a pet just like how not everybody is a good match for eachother. Rn the best thing is keeping the dog at an arms distance. As we speak she’s literally in her own bed that’s at the head of ours sleeping peacefully after being fed and walked before my husband went to work. But thanks for advice ♥️ This is mainly me venting about how hard it is to have a dog in the stages of life and motherhood I am in rn.

@Tiffany I am not happy rn but it’d be a lie if I said I didn’t enjoy our Sunday dog park outings. Or was excited about the dog Easter egg hunt we are going to bring her to. Or hiking the trails (when I’m not pregnant) with her. It’d be a lie if I said I don’t enjoy seeing her get the zoomies like my Waldo did or the smile and laugh my daughter has when we are all playing with her or even when they play on their own. It’s be a lie if I said I didn’t like how she included our daughter in play but was significantly more gentle with her which puts me in awe how she can tell to do the difference. How she tries to protect the home but becomes a straight up cuddle bug once we introduce the “intruder”

@Tiffany this dog has a lot of cons that I can’t stand and have made me miserable and I still stand by if I could rewind time I would’ve let somebody else adopt her!! But I can’t and she’s with us now and I know that besides her we have other stresses like my anxiety, my daughters development, moving, finances(which don’t affect the dog or kids just us adults). Lots of things stressing us out and the dog is just a trigger on top of it all but also as I stated in comments on both post. Me being pregnant I feel makes a higher impact on how I tolerate the dog compared to everything else. She went from being my bestfriend to one day I am pregnant and I can’t stand her. I felt crazy for a bit until I did my research but even then it still didn’t change anything!! My husband annoys me more during this pregnancy does that mean I should rehome him to?? I’ll wait until the baby turns one and we are settled into our routine to make big decisions about our dogs rehoming.

@Tiffany one thing tho I make the decisions for our family odd enough so if o do choose to rehome her he agrees if I choose not to he agrees. Also go those dumb dumb bubble gum dog butt kissers who act like you can’t be human!! Go somewhere else I’ve already made it clear enough how I feel and also that I don’t like yall type of people and never will. I love animals but I also atleast can have empathy for other humans especially more so after such an experience!! I pray that one day you get to experience dog ownership hardships for yourself and say that you never hated your dog or that she made you upset ♥️♥️♥️ but for me rn I hate the things she does and I hate owning a dog!! And I’m very upset about the things she does!!

@Alex next time take the time to screenshot and post all of them. I feel no guilt so I have non to hide 😘😘

@Makaila I totally get that! Because ours couldn’t see or hear anything he ended up peeing directly on my daughter 🤦‍♀️ I about lost it but at the same time he really didn’t know he was peeing on her lol he had always had a lot of allergies and threw up often and we’d just tell mom and she’d deal with it. A couple days before we had to put him down he had thrown up like 20 times in a span of 4 hours and I was the only one home. I had to clean it all while trying to keep my kids away. I eventually just have to put him in the bathroom by himself for easy clean up but I felt horrible knowing he wasn’t doing well and was just left alone but it was too much to handle on my own

@Tessa yeah my childhood dogs both lost control of their ability to use the potty so it was constant messes but you know you love them so much as a kid you tend to forget those things. My puppy is 1 rn about to be 1.5 and honestly think it’s just her acting up because of environmental changes. It still doesn’t make it any less hard to deal with. And being pregnant definitely doesn’t make it any easier to cope with. I regretted my dog being put down but I also sometimes understand it was for the best but holding him in my hands as he passed on crying and watching the life fade from him was enough to make me never want that for another dog. But these idiots really are only judging based off of the fact I brought up kennel arrest 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

@Tiffany I just saw the comment about your husband rehoming the pitbull. I am really sorry you had to experience such emotions when it came to pet ownership and honestly thank you for sharing!! This is the side of pet ownership I hope people can see before they make the big decision to own a pet especially if they have other responsibilities going on. I hope it also, on top of the growing numbers of dogs in shelters and the euthanasia rates, persuades people to get their dogs spayed and neutered so less dogs have to be given up and endure a hard life. Anybody who’s had to give up a pet or has had to put one down knows it isn’t an easy decision even if you didn’t like the animal. So thank you for sharing your experience and hopefully it makes somebodies life easier whether they already own a pet or not!!

@Natalie you are so stupid. I wish I could sue you for defamation!!!

@Natalie when you have proof to animal abuse lmk.

@Natalie you are a shitty shitty person

@Natalie my dog sure is happier than you I can guarantee that
