Just Done.

I've had just about more than I can take with the almost 31 YR old( his birthday's in 2 more days.)

Today for either the third or fourth(I can't keep track, but he still keeps doing it, which is the point) time he let Beja run out in the yard unsupervised only this time I actually saw him and caught him. I was in the kitchen with him when I saw it. He had him out running in the yard( where the gate doesn't go all the way down and he can easily slip thru underneath and get onto the street or slip thru under the fence,too) and wasn't out there with him but in the kitchen cooking, not watching him, and the door only open a wee crack. 

I once again freaked out over how careless and dangerous it is(I hope he never has kids!!) as he could have easily got loose and ran off onto the street and ran away or got hit by a car. Then he says I'm "over-reacting" over "nothing" and says Maybe a hawk will get him,too and I said that's the point; there's many dangers out there for a little Chihuahua like him and you can't just leave him out there alone unsupervised, and then he starts taunting me for being  cautious, mocking, ...and maybe a meteor will come crashing down  on him or a spaceship abduct him or a million other things that can but will likely never happen....

and I told him a little caution just goes a long way.

I then asked him how would he feel if he did get out and got hit by a car and killed because he was careless and not watching him? How would he feel if  that happened because of him and he was responsible? but he refused  to take responsibility or answer, saying he 'wasn't arguing" with me and "wasn't listening" and I said, I'm NOT arguing with you, I'm asking you a question: how would you feel?  he also sneered, How many times are you going to keep saying the same thing?  and I told him, Until  YOU  stop DOING it ! but he just doesn't GET it thru that thick skull of his.

First of all, he's NOT his  dog.

He's My dog.

STOP stealing him.

STOP doing things (and taking risks with MY dog) I told him not to do with MY DOG..

I said he can still take him outside for walks where he's secure on the leash(just be careful like watch out for big dogs that may attack him) but NOT to run around outside unsupervised, not even in the yard as it just isn't safe.

My dog, my rules.

He even woke him up again this morning too crying outside his bedroom door so he gave in and let him in.

I'm really tired of his shit and I think it's time he moves out and then he says I'm "threatening" him but it wasn't a threat.

I'm serious.

I've had enough.

I'm just done.

I have no joy in my life.

Amid the brain’s constant state of war and hyper vigilance, I find moments of calm. And that itself gives me hope, perhaps these moments will increase in the future.-Samanwitha Kar
