I am feeling so bad since we are babysitting a dog and I just can't like him. He has been our weekend dog for two years and our antagonism is mutual. The thing I dislike the most is that he pretends that he likes me when somebody else is around but ignores me completely when we are alone.
Normally I love dogs and they love me.
He is a spoiled and lazy little Yorkshire and he stinks since he never cleans him self after toilet. When taking a walk he stops every second meter to pee on peopleâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s cars, bikes or doorposts and he will lie down on the ground and snarl if you don't let him. He is constantly bagging for candy (not from me though).
He adores my husband and would follow him in to a thunderstorm three o'clock in the morning but with me he refuses to move when I need to take him out. He would crawl under the sofa rather than go out to early in the morning or if the weather is bad. Then he shits on the floor instead.
The weird thing is that he always seems happy to see me at first and when it really counts - I am the only person he obeys.
To be fair - he is a wonderful dog in other ways. He would never bite and he is so careful with children, kittens, chickens or whatever small creature.
I just feel so bad for not being able to like him. It is not his fault that he is spoiled. Has anyone ever been in this situation? How did you deal with it?
PS. Our oldest cat seem to feel as I do about him.
