I don’t know how to explain it, I’m just kind of over her. I guess I’m burned out or something and find myself having a really short fuse. Does this happen to you? I’m really not sure where it’s coming from, it’s been going on the last three days. It’s for no particular reason. I’m sure it’ll pass, but I feel bad about it.

Edit: I’ll tell you right now it’s not gonna be a friendly conversation if you try to shame me for needing some time away from my dog. She’s extremely high maintenance, and she’s not being neglected either. I’m just burned out. She’s a great and loving dog, but she’s also a lot of work. I’m not gonna give her up or neglect or whatever. Just gonna take it easy for a few days. It’s about time we teach her how to settle down anyways.

    Dogs can have a day or two off. Think what happens if they are boarded.

    It’s only been a few days that you’ve been feeling down. If you are concerned that you are letting your dog down, you can get her a new chew toy or bone for enrichment.

    Take care of your mental health first, you have plenty of time to figure out what’s best for your dog since it’s only been a few days. Right now, figure out what’s best for you.
