I have a 8 year old Yorkie that I’ve had since he was a puppy. We did everything together.. fast forward to about 3 years ago I met my husband. He had just gotten a golden retriever puppy when we started dating. The dogs became friends after a period of time and really got along once my husband and I moved in together. However, now it wasn’t just me sleeping in the bed so it made it tight quarters for my dog to sleep with me anymore. I also got my first real job at this time and had to wake up at 5am. My dog would move so much he would wake me up (again, less space with two humans in it) so he wasn’t allowed in bed anymore. Then a few months later my husband and I found out we were expecting. We had our baby in Jan 2021 and my dog and my husbands have gotten almost zero attention since the baby. We pay an absurd amount for them to go to doggy daycare every other week to play. We don’t have a fenced in yard but take them outback to pee and run around. My dog in the past before baby has had issues with peeing in the house. I’ve never been able to fully break him of this. I’ve tried pee pads, diapers but he still won’t learn. It’s so bad he has to be crated at night because he will pee in the house. We just bought a house last year and he’s already messed up the floor in several areas. He’s even been peeing on my sons things. I’m torn because I know he’s probably upset he gets no attention but it’s incredibly hard with a new baby. Our Golden isn’t acting out but my yorkie is. It got so bad I asked my grandma to take him for a bit so he can get all the attention in the world. Now I don’t know what to do. I’ve bawled over this because I love my dog so much but want him to be happy. Do I let my grandma keep him or take him back after a month or so. What can I do ? I’m feeling so helpless because my dog is frustrating my husband and I. I just never wanted to be that person who gets rid of their dog when a baby comes.
