Problem with mum and dog?

we've had our dog for about 10 months now and for the first few months, he was doing what every mischievous puppy would do, pee in the house, rip up things, it all apart of the puppies life! and on the first day we got, she said she wanted to get rid of it! luckily, i convinced her to let him stay. throughout this whole time, sometimes she would complain about how she regrets taking the dog in and shi*t and some days she'll say she loves the dog and how well he behaves. now, once again, she wants to get rid of the dog. she'll say calmly i want to find the dog a different owner, he is ruining my health (even though he isnt because we've found a way to get dog hair off the carpet and clothes). i have explained over and over that i take care of the dog but it is also the family dog. she doesnt pay for any of the dogs shots, food, toys NOTHING. i am so pissed off that she thinks its my dog. sure, i take care of him more than anyone else but she still needs to help me pay. help?

dont sit down with her and just tell her if she threatins to give the dog away that you will hate her the rest of your life. My monther used to do that to us she will get us a pet and a week or so later early on a saturday morning you will wake up and the pet is gone and today i am 27 she has passed away but still everytim i see my dogs i remember what she did and i hate her for it, So tell her that she cant do that its your dog otherwise see what legal action there can be taken by you and seek help from the local nspca maybe they can help you Hope you can keep your dog

Your 14 and you have decided that your mother is not responsible....?

Get rid of the dog until you can pay for it by yourself.

If your mother does not want to spend money that is hers and hers alone on this dog then that is her choice..

Your mother sounds a bit stressed. And probably not just about the dog. Does she have other problems in her life? Maybe she's just taking her other difficulties out on the dog.

Or maybe I'm being a bit hard on your mum because I'm such a dog lover.

Is there another family member who might look after the dog for a little while sometimes when your mum is on the rampage?

It's hard when you're young and have to depend on other people - believe me, I know ALL about that!

I hope it works out for you and your dog. Good luck.
