Is it normal that i don't like dogs
This is a story about why I don't like dogs. Please listen, try not to judge, think about what you'd do in my situation. (BTW, yes my mom my brother and I live in the same house as my aunt. In case that isn't apparant by reading the rest of the story.)
My brother wanted a dog. My mom said he could have one, but she was really busy and couldn't take him anywhere to find one. So, my aunt took him instead.
When the dog was older, she had puppies. My aunt refused to give them away. When the puppies were older, they mated with neighbors' dogs and their own litermates and we had still more puppies to deal with. Fortunately, my aunt realized it would be better to give the pups away.
So we tried giving the pups away. We ended up keeping 2 more. And, of course, when those pups grew up there were more.... and more.... and it's been a steady stream of mutt mania ever since.
My aunt keeps six grown dogs in the house. Currantly two of those have puppies. A total of about 14 pups altogether. (About 3 of which are biting my ankles and tearing my pant legs as I write this. I'd kick them away but they'd just come back and my aunt would start screaming at me for it.)
The grown dogs aren't completely house trained, so they poop and pee wherever they please. They wake me up at any hour of the night to be let outside. So, I'll get up and go to the door. But when I open it, the fu@*$#g mutt turns back the other way to go mess on the floor!
And of course, they get special privileges. My aunt gives them bits of her food off her plate so now they think they can climb up and steal food from anyone's plate! And if you stop them or yell "BAD DOG!" they'll stare at you and beg and whine and whatever else they can do to try to get you to share. They've also been known to hover over the plate and drool.
They think they can sleep on anybody's bed and start a chorus of whines if you shove them off.
They also yap at every car that drives past. And if my aunt is away for any length of time and comes back, they all start yapping at once; the ones inside jump up in the windows to try to be the first to see her. The ones outside go to the very end of their chains practically strangling themselves yapping and trying to get at her. They automatically think she's brought them a "treat" for being "good dogs!" Good dogs? THERE'S NO SUCH THING!
Aside from my personal disdain for dogs, I know we can't afford them. Right now, my mom and my aunt are both unemployed. We CANNOT afford trips to the vet, or tons of dog food or special treats and the like. We can't give them all the attention they require either. I know this isn't fair to them, I'm not completely mean and heartless. I'm just going CRAZY!
Whenever I say anything to my mom or my aunt about the dogs, they won't listen, or they'll try to make me seem like the bad guy. I really don't know what to do.
So, this has been a plea for help as much as it's been a rant. PLEASE help me figure things out.....
