So I have a 2 year old Pittbull. I’ve had her since she was a puppy. I love her very much but I didn’t really think things through when getting her, I was very impulsive. I am young, I work a lot, I like to travel and occasionally I will go out for dinner or drinks. But I do my best by her. I wake up every morning to walk her and let her do her business. When I get home she gets a mini walk at night. I buy the best kind of dog food for her, treats and toys galore. Vet visits cost me a fortune because she goes every 3 months or so. I always get a dog sitter for her when I travel. Baths once a month at the groomers. She really is living the life. But I’ve come to a dilemma. I really feel like she isn’t truly living her best life. I work 8-9 hours a day. 6-5 times a week so she’s home alone on those days I work and she has to be crated because she’s extremely destructive (she has a cage ment for a dog twice her size so she has a lot of room). Sometimes if I have plans I go home and let her out and walk her a little and she has to go back into the crate. Is this a good life for her? Granted when I’m off I spend as much time with her as I can, but is that enough for her? I try my hardest to provide for her and take responsibility for getting her. I’ve fully committed to her because I chose to get a dog even if I wasn’t ready. I don’t want to give her up because nowadays you don’t know what happens to pit bulls. What if the person I give her up to gives her up? I just don’t know what is a better life for her. I love her and I want the best life I could give her. I work so she can have a good life so I can’t really stop working or reduce working.
