Couple adopts sweet shelter puppy, but girlfriend wants to take her back after two weeks, so boyfriend kicks her to the curb to live life to the fullest with his new doggo

Adopting a puppy is a big deal. It literally changes your life in major ways for the first two years, and you'll never go back to not having to wake up around 7 AM every day to take the dog out. Sleeping in becomes a thing of the past, and we get it - not everyone is cut out to be a dog owner. Sometimes, you're more suited for a cat, which requires way less work (although they are much more chaotic, so pick your poison). We're not going to sugarcoat it - it's hard. It's a lot. It's years of another being living in your space, getting hair all over everything, and needing your attention nearly constantly.

We welcomed this change. Personally, we love getting up and snuggling with our doggo and getting a mouthful of hair before our morning walk. We find it relaxing to walk with them by the beach almost every evening, but not everyone does. After this couple adopted a shelter puppy, the girlfriend immediately felt regret and wanted to return her. The boyfriend had committed and chose the puppy over her.

The (now ex) girlfriend just seems like she's more suited for owning cats. They take up way less space, they don't need a crate (just a litterbox…and a cardboard box for good measure), and they don't need to be taken out for any reason whatsoever. But, having a dog is like having a child, you are either all in or not at all.
