Dear Ask Dog Lady,
How many times do you need to walk a 65-pound dog? My boyfriend walks Stinky five times a day. On weekends, we can’t be together for whole eight hours without him going home to walk the dog every three hours. He baby talks his dog, has a picture in his wallet, an oil painting hanging on the wall of his house. His house and his car have dog’s hair all over and he just doesn’t care.
Even if he denied it, I feel his dog is his priority. She’s 10-years-old now and they’ve been together for six years before we met. He said he’s just taking care of a creature that is totally dependent to him. But I think he’s taking the responsibility way too seriously. When she passes away, will he make me his priority? Isn’t that unfair? I’m so confused already. I think he is obsessed with this dog and I want to break up with him. I’m not a dog lover and I don’t think I can handle getting up every morning with dog’s hair all around me if I move in. What shall I do?
