Why do I continue to torture myself?

[devilkingx2]

I had the best dog for 10 years, GSD, I took him at 2 months old. I put him down last year due to old age he couldn't walk. I was down for a week, then I realized its just an animal, he can be replaced.

This paragraph reminds me of what they say about not marrying former slvts and 304s because of their lack of pair bonding ability.

Yeah in the 1st world is when only people stay down cause of a dog, if you were in the 3rd world trying to get food and survive you'll be over that very quick

If I was a protagonist in The Walking Dead I would probably shoot anyone with less weapons than I have and take their stuff. That's not the world we live in though.

As an aside, this whole “let’s pretend dogs are children” thing is such a first word problem. Go to any non-western country and tell someone you’re sharing custody of a dog with your ex and I guarantee that they would look at you like you had a picture of a pen!s tattooed on your forehead.

In the country my parents are from there are stray dogs everywhere because a lot of people don't care about their animals and just let them roam the streets or abandon them. The west definitely gets some things right.

On the chance that you're being legitimate.... here's your solution:
Your girlfriend doesn't like it when you see the ex to pick up the dog? Here's what you do --- You arrange to have your current girlfriend meet with the ex's current boyfriend to pick up and drop off the dog. You are secure enough to handle that. .... Right?

well I tried your suggested but it was greeted with and quote “ I’m not getting involved in your inbred sh1te. This whole situation is abnormal and it’s not right”

Sounds like she only wants you to get rid of your dog so she has less competition

Men who think dogs are children are the same as dog moms. But somehow we criticize women but for men its fine. Pathetic.

It's not the same. Men are not choosing crazy undersized dogs as surrogate children. Men choose dogs to be friends, not kids.

Back in 2016 I had a down to earth girlfriend and she bought a 8 week old fullblooded Rottweiler male boy pup from a local breeder. The pup lived in my home till he was 6 months old and then she took him to her place. I disciplined him on ready commands and he turned out to be a solid disciple. I got him very cool n intimidating collar and leash and I used to take him on long strolls as a pup in downtown and girls would flock him.

I still kept seeing my boy on occasions.
In 2019 my girlfriend relocated the dog to an acquaintance of hers who owned a junk lot with broken down cars. She couldn’t keep him at her new place. We had some problems during that time and I didn’t know she had done that move. She still kept an eye out for him.

long story short she passed away soon after and during the months that followed I kept dreaming about the dog tied up with chain to a dog house. I literally dreamed about him like 5 times until I said fvck it. I hit up my boy who is a cop in Mexico and we went packin to retrieve the dog on some John Wick sh1t.

The lot was in a gutter neighbor literally a couple hundred feet away from the US/Mexico border fence.
I jumped a big ass wall and I can see my boy chained up to a sh1tty dog house in deplorable conditions. exactly like in my dream.
I yelled out his name and once he seen me he started yelping and crying. My boy quickly recognize me after a year or more of not seeing me.
I unchained him and escorted him out.

My cop friend was just watching my 6 holding guard.

Ever since my dog has been with me he has been a solid loyal companion for 3 years now after I rescued him.

My girlfriend RIP left me this legacy.
On the drive home that day after I got him I cracked a tear because that’s what she wanted me to go do.
I feel like she knew what she was doing when she bought the pup if you catch my drift.

that motherfvcker owner of the lot wasn’t there that day I trespassed to get my dog.
If he would have been there I would have pistol whipped that fool on sight for having my boy in that condition when he could have reached me to get the dog.

sometimes a dog has an eternal meaning to a handful of us. More loyal and willing to die for you than the woman you may have next to you

What this tells me is that you are not really a dog person, but just had a dog for 10 years. I had to put mine down a couple months ago, and it's still tearing me up at random times.

My condolences man. My rottie is the life of the house when I’m just going through a rapid rut and hurdles. Son of a gun just cracks a window open somewhere for my soul to see some light at times. They know.
