Son ignores request to train or board hyperactive puppy during visits
A grandmother says her son keeps bringing his untrained, hyperactive puppy on the alternating weekend visits she hosts, despite her repeated requests that he train the dog or hire a sitter.
DEAR ABBY: For the last four years, I have been hosting my son “Dennis,” his 6-year-old son and his brother’s 8-year-old daughter every other weekend.
Dennis bought a puppy, “Champ,” to go with his house and brings him on these visits. Champ is nice enough but extremely active. He runs wild and barks, digs holes and has never been trained. The grandkids are cousins, and they are thick as thieves. They love running around indoors and out, but I am worn out.
