Tying up a dog for a short amount of time?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Why is he tying her up outside even when he’s home? Why on earth get a dog at all if you’re unwilling to spend time with it and just banish it away from your presence? I think tying up a dog is cruel. They are pack animals and the only “pack” this dog has is the two of you. Your fiancé is acting like a selfish idiot, plain and simple. Sorry to be so blunt but that’s the honest truth. What’s going to happen if you two ever have kids and he doesn’t feel like being bothered? And he “doesn’t care” whether something affects their personality or not. What a peach~~ If I were involved with a guy like this, it certainly wouldn’t be for long. His insistence on constantly tying up the pet would be a deal breaker for sure. BTW: what you’re describing certainly doesn’t sound like a “short amount of time”.
