Ever since getting this new puppy, I feel like I haven’t been getting much sleep.
We had a few accidents in the house where we had to clean up pee and poop, but we got the dog on a pretty normal bathroom schedule.
He basically goes outside every 2 hours and when he does that, he doesn’t have any accidents. Something that has been bothering me though is the fact that it seems like I’m the one cleaning up most of the poop. Our son will take the dog out sometimes, but I never see him going out there with poop bags. I told him where they are and everything and to put them in the trash back hanging in the dumpster when the poop was collected. When I go out there though, I see poop in different places that nobody chose to pick up and I find myself picking up all that mess and honestly I can’t stand it. It’s so disgusting to me to do this job. Recently, it has been really cold at night too and I hate leaving the comfort of the gas furnace to go out there. Sometimes, the dog wants to go around walking even when it’s raining, while I just want to get back inside the house and feel the heating from the HVAC vents. I have an electric fireplace in my bedroom that I turn on all the time. I tend to watch shows while having the perfect temperature control settings, and then I hear the dog whining and I have to go back out in the cold with him once more. It’s so miserable, but I hope that eventually the dog doesn’t have to go out so often and more people in my home actually pick up the poop!
