so the issues in this thread, have actually gotten worse. -_-
Dogs are now let out 2x a day, for under 5 minutes. She won't clean up after them when they inevitably soil the carpet because of it.
Because of bf's mother's refusal to make any attempt at training new dog(despite, sending her articles, bf, sis, and myself talking to her), he now considers himself "pack leader", which is now causing problems for older dog, namely in the food situation.
New dog-self-appointed pack leader, eats all the food and leaves none for older dog.
Older dog is now emaciated(you can clearly see ribs and backbones protruding).
She "doesn't see any difference" and "he eats plenty, he's overweight" How would you know, you never supervise them? And SEEING RIBS AND BACKBONE IS NOT OVERWEIGHT!
New dog chases old dog from the food dishes if they're together, so bf and I separate them, mother doesn't want to walk the LITERALLY 3 feet of separation(way the kitchen is set up with 3 feet separation dogs can't see each other), and keeps putting the dishes together.
Old dog broke a nail down past the quick, mother refused to get it addressed, OR get his nails trimmed(they're really long).
New dog has destroyed old dog's collar, and is constantly attacking him. She does nothing, except yell at old dog if he attempts to defend himself against new dog(new dog is easily 3x the size of old dog).
I sat with old dog this morning after new dog hogged all the food and filled his dish(still cat food), new dog tried to take that too.
It took old dog 5 full minutes to stop shaking enough to eat, 3 minutes to eat, and 10 minutes to stop licking my hands in appreciation.
Where was owner during all this? Playing games on FB.
Yup five minutes supervision is too much time away from her computer.
She threw a temper tantrum worthy of a toddler when we had a Realtor come over(with only myself and bf working, bills leave us with less than $100 for groceries, or anything else every month-and bf's mother and sister are STILL not looking for jobs), we're moving out june first, bf is done, it's been 2 years since his mother worked, and 6 months for sis. At this point he doesn't care if the house gets sold or foreclosed, because the ones not paying anything are busy trying to trash it as quickly as possible.
I'm going to see if bf will let me put out an ad to try and rehome old dog(old dog is "technically" his, unwanted xmas gift, she claimed responsibility when he said, "I didn't want a dog"), before her total negligence causes a horrible death.
It's sad, but it's the only thing I can think of to do at this point, we are allowed 2 pets only where we're moving, and my two cats are it.
