So I need to vent for a minute. It's getting tiresome taking care of my brother's dog because he's still in jail and no one else was going to take care of the dog because he doesn't have any friends because he fucked over all of them. His bail is not that high but who's gonna pay it? No one because there's no one willing or wanting to. I could but as I've before, the reason he's in there is because of beating the shit out of his ex and then violating his restraining order. You don't put hands on women that way so he can sit there in his jail cell and rot for as long as he'll be there.
And he still makes calls when they allow him and he wants me to get his car out of impound, renew his insurance under my name. Ha yeah that's not happening. I'm not putting my name on anything legally binding for him. Sorry dude, that car is gone.
But getting back to the dog. The dog has similar personality traits as him. He is a narcissist and so is she. The dog deserves a better owner and it's not her fault.
It's hard to even walk her because she's strong enough to pull in whatever direction not where I intended to go. I see people in the neighborhood walking their dogs easily. Some elderly people in the neighborhood "walk" their dogs driving a golf cart with the dog by the side which I think is funny to see. I can't even take the dog to the dog park and let her off the leash.
This dog is the reason my and my brother did not talk for a few years. Because he asked me to dogsit for him and she pissed and shit everywhere. I cleaned it all up but there were still signs and he got mad at me. It was like... you asked me to do you a solid and you're blaming me for what your untrained dog did, I'm out. Even when I left, his girlfriend said, "I think I dated the wrong brother." And to this day the dog is still untrained.
But all that said. In the morning, I make sure she has food and water even before I get food and fill my water bottle for myself. But even then, I have to close the door where her bed is and where she sleeps because if I don't when I try to put down her water and food bowls, she jumps on me and sometimes bites me. And it's like... I'm trying to help you... It's not the dog's fault my brother is a shitty person and a shitty owner. He should have never got the dog in the first place. He can't even take care of his kids which is why my niece and nephew live with their mother. He thought a dog was going to be different?
Sorry for the long rant... I am not a dog person and this is not my dog but I'm not an asshole and do what I can for her but I won't deny that the thought more than once crossed my mind to open the front door, she runs out, "oh dang... that sucks..."
