Hi, new poster with an issue. Four months ago my girlfriend got a new puppy (Dachshund) and took care of it and played with it for awhile but has now neglected it and I am the only one taking care of it.

When she initially talked about getting a puppy I did say I'd she wants that is fine and I don't mind helping but as I am not that big a fan of dogs it would be primarily her responsibility. She said no problem and got one but after just a month she stopped taking it out or playing with it. She now just asks me to.

So now we have a puppy she won't play with and won't take care of what should I do?

Don't have children with her for starters....

I'd put the puppy up for adoption and be done with it.

Remove the dog and make sure you never get this irresponsible jerk pregnant.

+1.

It really annoys me when people decide to get pets without doing the research first. Pets are a huge responsibility and you do have to make time to look after them! Not blaming the OP here by the way, but the girlfriend.

Too bad you could not put your GF up for adoption. In any event, with placement in the proper household the puppy's future looks brighter than hers.

LOL..so true. Don't have kids with her! She seems like a lazy person. Put the pup up for adoption and save yourself the time and money.

Wow, it sounds like she is a 8 or 10 year old that begs Mom & Dad for a puppy "I'll take good care of it! I'll walk it! I'll feed it!" etc. etc. Sheesh!

Rehome the dog and do not let her in charge of the birth control in your relationship.

Just to be clear....this means that YOU supply the condoms and YOU put them on yourself every time. Never be talked out of not using one regardless of whatever birth control she says she is using.
