I really have no where else I can discuss this because my boyfriend is on every other website and I feel weird talking to most of my internet friends (Since I don't have real life friends) because they know him and are friends with him too.
I know a few members here will know which sites I'm talking about and WHO I'm talking about but those members I trust not to go blabbing anything and they probably wont even care.
Anyways...Let me get this out. I HATE CEASE MILLAN!!!!! Ok, I might not "hate" him since it's such a strong word but I really really dislike him and his methods. My boyfriend however gets a kick out of it. (Keep in mind my boyfriend is a cat person and has no idea about dogs) I've had many arguements over how I don't like his methods with him and he always tries to convince me he's "not a bad guy". I'm sure he's not but his methods of training dogs aren't good IMO.
Well Chance will be 12 months on June 6th. A whole year old!! But he's still a puppy, still growing and still very fragile!
My boyfriend likes to roll Chance over on his back and say he's submitting to him and laugh about it. Which really PO's me. I've told him to quit and he says fine but does it again later on. This weekend I got incredibly frustrated with him when he was trying to do it and Chance wouldn't go down and so his backside was twisting around with my boyfriend pushing on it while his front side was still standing. I finally yelled at him and he starts going on about how I need to stop acting as if he's going to "break" him or how he's not as fragile as I think. He IS as fragile as I think and know. How many of you have lived with/know GSD's with joint problems? Hmm? I'm sure most of you do. And I don't want that for my baby. If it happens then thats sad but I don't want anyone making it worse when he's not even a flipping year old yet! He's still a baby! I've already cried over the fact I'm sure his knee's are going to come back bad when I finally get to OFA them and he'll be lucky to get "good" hips because they pop sometimes. (As does his knees) It's just...Annoying.
Plus whenever he's here he's ALWAYS pushing Chance away from me saying I'm "his" and God forbid Chance steps anywhere near my breast or something....Because those are "his" too apparently. (As if the dog even knows what they are!!) For the last like 2 months Chance wont even cuddle with me on the bed and I know it's because of that because I've never done anything to him.
He also wont lay in my lap anymore when I groom him and if I try, he gets up and goes to lay in his kennel with his ears back and tail tucked. I feel like I'm losing the bond with my dog and I've honestly already lost it with my boyfriend. I'm so sick of him, I love him but I hate him. I guess I am crazy and love my dog more just like he says. -.-; But crazy as it may be, I'm not giving up my dog for ANY guy. If they don't like my animals they aren't worth my time. I've got my life ahead of me and theres always more fish in the sea. I might hate the idea of being alone but is being alone really worse than having a dog who's scared to be near you after everything you've done? I mean...This dog was suppose to die according to the vet. This is the dog I've always wanted, the dog I begged for, for over 6 years to have. At 6 months old I was asked if I wanted to euthanize him and I haden't even had him for an hour. But he's here with me and he's no longer sick. He's a happy, healthy puppy. And that puppy happens to be like my child and I feel like my child is becoming distant from me and it's all over someone who since I was 14 years old, thought I was going to marry.
So yeah, theres my teenage drama. I had to get that out, I'm in tears right now because I'm just so fed up with everything. I just want to take my puppy and go to bed.
I'd also like to add in, I'm so scared of him having problems because my grandparents GSD mix had a LOT of health problems by the age of 10. She finally died at like 15 at which point she was pretty much completely blind/deaf, had terrible hip/elbow problems and had horrible authritis all over. Her conditions were heartbreaking and there wasn't any help for her in the end.
I never want to go through that if I can help it but bending a dogs limbs in weird ways isn't going to help luck be on my side. Bad enough he's so poorly bred.
