Too many dogs in too little space

2ndfiddle2ndfiddle Registered User new member
I really need an outside viewpoint please. I feel sometimes I over react to things, but for the last 3-4 years I've been inhaling urine and feces in our apartment due to the fact my husband said we have to keep 2 of the puppies from my maltese and maltipoo. He refuses to take them out and I cant keep up with 4 of them-no way. Never even wanted to. Now I feel sick a lot of the time as the carper is always soaked with urine daily ( he cleans the carpets 1 time per wk but its not enough) I can actually see the residue on the kitchen floor it looks slimely. I feel ill a lot of the time with resperatory isses and fatigue, depression and I could go on. Is there a direct link here. He tells me if I dont like it theres the door.

    It sounds like you might need to discuss your relationship issues, outside of the care of puppies, with your husband.

    Also did you mean to post this in H/A? It's in the offtopic board section right now.

    "I would rather lose my wife than not let four dogs poop inside" is a... Bold opinion

  • MarathonMarathon Registered User regular
    Having pets and taking care of them is a responsibility that should be shared equally. I second the notion that you and your husband have some things to discuss, especially when he is giving such extreme ultimatims.

    H/A might be a better place for this question.

    Start competing with the dogs by urinating openly in front of your husband, it seems to be the best way to earn his affection.

    But to be serious and less mean, I couldn't live in that environment. That's disgusting on a lot of levels, and the fact that your husband doesn't appreciate the fact is insane. If your husband is unwilling to even discuss the issue, your health and well being should take precedence.

    Your husband is an inconsiderate ass who is contributing to your health problems.

    It's not good for you and it's not good for the dogs.

    Call the local health department and get a lawyer.

    I guess there's a lot here I don't understand, or just don't have enough info on.

    Thoughts,
    seeing a doctor or a clinician about being sick /your health in dog poop environs might be a good option if it's feasible. You might already have checked that out, I dunno.

    Why separate dogs? I lack dog knowledge, I guess.

    Do you have any family/friends you can stay with for a week or two? Your personal health is probably the most important thing, until ya'll can resolve the dog poop environs and the current relationship issues.

    Do you think you'll be happy in this relationship going forward? For all I know, this could just be a big fight where some nasty things were said, and there's room for reconciliation and a solution to the dog-poop environs. If there's no chance of getting the dog situation resolved, it feels like the relationship isn't a very healthy one. Not sure how serious the situation is for ya'll. Folk can have strong dog relationships.

    Dogs are a big responsibility, it's def. possible to have too many dogs in too little space.
    If there's no change in the situation, I would consider transitioning to a bigger space or a space with less dogs. It would be better for you and the dogs themselves, if you understand the situation to be as bad as you suspect.

    Best of luck. I wish you some fresh air in the future.

    Good to know!
    My psychology class covered news about it, probably 9 years ago, and I remember people thinking it might be a thing. Probably wasn't disproven at that point.

    I think this is definitely a case of don't believe everything that you read.

    All of the evidence are old wire service reports played for the ick factor and fake pictures passed off on local news stations. It's all secondary souces, most of which are laughable on the face of it.
