Dear Wendyl,
My wife nagged me nonstop to get her a dog for Christmas. She has a friend who has one and heard of a breeder who had some puppies, and decided she simply had to have one.
So I bought her one, but now she does nothing for it. I walk it, feed it and take it outside to go to the toilet at night. She doesn’t even seem to enjoy having it around. How do I get her to give it more attention?
Richard, Tauranga
Dear Richard,
The only question you need to ask yourself is do you like the dog? If you do, then stop your moaning and enjoy having a pet. If you don’t, then you need to take it back to the breeder or put it on Trade Me and find it a new home for it, where it will be truly appreciated.
