hi all...
I feel such a failure with my life.. my husband and I split 1.5 years ago and all I've done since is work, look after our 2 young boys, have students and try to steal time to work dog, have time for me etcetc.
I'm now completely emotionally drained and tired of pushing buggies threw parks where we all get muddy including our dog.. on lots of occasions our poor lil dog doesn't even get out as trying to go walking in park with 4 under 5's isn't always fun and then at weekends my own 3 & 5 year olds whinge about taking him out...
last week I accidently walked poo through the house and had to clean carpet and everything.. today the dog got completely muddy whilst out and needed a complete shampoo and set.. and I find it difficult factoring these things as well as everything else to my childminding day...
Today I phoned a rehoming centre to take him and give him a new home where he will get his walks.. he's a lovely dog, I love him, he listens well, he's great with the kids, and I do in everyway take care of him but feel a failure when it comes to trying to walk him each day...
I can't afford to use the money I do have on dogwalkers, innoculations, flea stuff etc etc and have no one who can help me consistancy with him...
has anyone else rehomed their dog? does it sound like being somewhere else would be better for him? its going to seem empty here without him :(
