My first regret. I regret having a dog, honestly. Don’t get me wrong, I love my dog but I shouldn’t have gotten it in the first place. He’s bringing so much trouble towards the family because we weren’t allowed to have one, and we got it anyway. One strike, was for the time when my dad foolishly walked the dog outside where the security cameras were. Second strike, the times when my dog barked when the security guard was walking by. Third strike, and I’m almost out. I’m out of a home, and I’m probably out of a family as well. It’s splitting me up to where I have no one really to turn to ‘cept for friends. I don’t want to be a hassle towards my friends so I’m just posting it here ‘cause I have no where else to vent or talk to. Mom told me to deal with the situation with my Dad and she’s telling me they’re divorcing. I’m fine with it ‘cause I despise my dad anyway but I’m afraid of where the dog is going to go. My dad wants that dog, period. I devised a plan to ask a friend to take care of him for a month, and he’s okay with it but obviously I can’t do that if my dad is so reluctant. Dad’s being cocky so he’s going to complain/protest to the landlord tomorrow about it, which would make the situation worst and probably kick us all out of the house. Moving? You think it’s that easy in this economy right now? Besides, Mom’s the only one working so my Dad is just worthless in my view. Dad is being arrogant and saying how he would move out with the dog, which is pretty stupid considering how there are no relatives that allow dogs in their home, and he doesn’t have enough to rent something by himself. We’re quite dependent on this house, without this house we would be off in the streets ‘cause my mom receives minimum pay that won’t be enough for the 00 rent over here. If we moved out of the city, that’s out of the question ‘cause the houses there are cheap but we don’t drive so it would be difficult to move around, and plus my mom would be jobless and wouldn’t be able to find a job that quick. All I can really do is just wait, and see what the outcome is for tomorrow. If only my dad was a little more understanding, everything would be a lot better because I can just give it to my friend to take care of or let him be there for a month or so until everything settles back down again. If only there would be a miracle in which we somehow get lots of money to rent a new house or buy it somewhere in SF. Then again, these are all wishes so what should I do? What am I supposed to do in a situation like this?
What am I suppose to do with my dog?

Sounds like you have a lot going on and a lot to deal with. I am sorry your life is so chaotic. First, I guess it would be helpful to know who bought the dog in the first place. While you may not like your dad right now, if your parents bought the dog, you don’t really have the right to give the dog to someone else. I know that stinks, but you cannot give away something that is not truly yours. I cannot begin to relate to your situation and I do not know enought about your family, but have you just tried talking to your dad? Maybe if you tell him that you have found a good home for the dog and explain why you think that is best, he might just understand. Explain to him that you are sad that you cannot have the dog anymore, ask your dad if he has a place where he is actually able to keep the dog. I think the best thing you can do in this situation, no matter how hard is just to talk about it.
give some time to think about what you think is best for your dog and your family. try not to stress or let panic cloud your judgment before you make a rash decision because no one will understand your predicament more than you.
