How do I agree to let my boyfriend take my puppy?

=/ My boyfriend is in the army.. his base is about 20 minutes from me. On June 12th his two week break starts, and he’s driving to Oregon to be with his family. (he hasn’t seen them since september) I have a pug puppy (Tiivo), and we’re both in love with him.. my boyfriend calls him our son lol.. and he’s trying to convince me to let him bring Tiivo to Oregon with him because his family wants to see him. He’ll be taken care of out there (one family member is a vet) but I think I’m going to miss him too much. I’m really attached to him already, and being without my boyfriend AND him might make me too miserable.. lol. But anyway, what should I do? :(

Answer #1

Don’t let him!!!!!

Answer #2

what do you mean let him take your puppy?

Answer #3

You could talk to your boyfriend and explain to him that the puppy keeps you company when he’s away, and that you’ll miss them both too much if they both go. That, or maybe go with your boyfriend? If that’s an option, it could help.

I’d definitely explain to him the part of not wanting to be alone, though. I’m sure he could understand that.

Answer #4

you want him to take your puppy?

Answer #5

I understand the conflict. After all, your boyfriend wants to spend time with the puppy too and he probably misses you, and the puppy is also a way to have a part of you with him. On the other hand, the puppy keeps you from getting too lonely. It’s hard. Relationships are about compromise and sacrifice. I’m sure your boyfriend will understand if you explain why you dont want to be parted from the puppy. But you might want to consider his side of it too. Is two weeks too much to give him? You could create alternate plans while he is away. If it is too much, then that is ok too. It’s not fun being lonely. And if it seems too unbearable, then he’ll understand. You can take the puppy with you guys when you both go and visit at some point.

Answer #6

Lol, I just realized that didnt answer your question. I guess the point is, I cant tell you what to do. Just stuff to think about.

Answer #7

Yeah, well he wants to take him, and I don’t mind it, because I know he’ll take good care of him and his family… but I’m gonna miss him soo much! I don’t know what to do> :(

Answer #8

No, your answer still made a lot of sense.. 2 weeks isn’t much to give him.. I’m just thinking.. what if he comes back and doesn’t remember his mama?! lol.. I’m weird.. but still.

Answer #9

Lol, that’s not weird. I miss my cat, she gets all upset if I’m not around for 3 days, 2 weeks is a long time to be separated from your baby. But he’ll be ok. Now you just have to decide if you can bear the separation (I didnt go anywhere for more than a night the first two years after I got my cat). So it’s understandable. Call up your girlfriends and spend a couple of nights over. It will cheer you up :) And trust me, they know who takes care of them!
