If there's some ways u can build a bond with the wife, only then can u make her understand what they're doing wrong. But without the bond and closeness, they might pick offence if u try to correct them.

Okay. Thanks a lot. I'll first start by always giving the wife the chicken parts i prepared for the dog. That should make her realize i'm genuinely concerned about their dog

babythug:
Is this their first child?

Was the husband aware and in support of the no ante natal

Did she forget the due date?

Just puzzled here oh. And these are educated people I can bet...

Yes, first child. The husband was not aware because he works in another state and only comes once in a while. It was my question that made him aware. The wife most times stays with his mother.
She didn't forget her due date o. The family sef knows. She knows she is overdue

Okay. I'll do just that. Maybe with time, they too will start feeding him well, after seeing what i bring for him. Thanks a lot @all

Hello mamas, pls i just want to beg us all. Let's not take for granted our routine drugs, any medication we are placed on, antenatal visits and docs advice.
I realized my friend's wife has passed her due date and due month so i called to ask what's happening. They said no signs of labor yet and even when she tried taking a walk, she ended up with low bp.
So i told them to ask her what her gynaecologist is saying about her case. Thank God i asked.
Do you know she said she has not been going for antenatal for months? Her excuse is, when she got to the hospital, the nurses said there is no need for her coming.
But when they called the dr to confirm, he said he dedicates two full days for his ANC patients so there's no excuse for anyone not to attend. I just pray the baby is okay. I really don't know why mamas joke with their babies. Its just sad

Hey mitchy, if I found myself in ur shoes, there's a trick I can play. but I'll like to ask a question first...Do u still have Elmo? If not, get a dog, train him indoors, train him right, raise him well.

This way, ur landlord will wanna fall in a competition with you. For example, if u buy a blue collar for him today, they'll buy a green collar for theirs tomorrow.

It'll get to a point where he'll be forced to ask u to teach him ur methods.

Some people are not just so learned enough in dog ownership, u need to teach them indirectly.

Engaging the man or his wife verbally might bring up issues between u guys.

Unfortunately Elmo is still not back. I'm not strong enough to keep a dog for now. But when Elmo was with me, they saw the way i treat him. I bathe him regularly and he had his nice collar and leash. His feeding bowl is always clean and he listens to some basic commands.
But i guess they only see their dog as a means of security, hence the unfair treatment

Hello mitchyy.

I believe blasiangurl85 has said about all there is you could do to help the dog. However, I would simply like to add that you need to be careful when and how you offer the dog food items. I think you'd best do it with your landlord's permission or (if this isn't awkward) buy or give them the food to feed the dog themselves. The reason I say this is because, Nigeria is a funny place and Nigerians could be funny. You hear a lot of stories and accusations like "My dog died. My neighbour poisoned it" and I am sure you do not want to be the subject of that kind of accusation when you are actually trying to do good and help. Moreover, a lot of people do not like other people feeding their dogs especially in their absence. I personally do not like other people feeding my dogs anything at all, be it in my presence or absence. I hate it so much that I trained my dogs not to take food from people or to pick food items from the floor.

You're right. Our relationship with them is great, so i felt they wouldn't mind. Plus they know i've had dogs so would definitely know better than feeding it rubbish.
Its really best to play safe though. Maybe i'll just prepare the chicken parts and give the wife, that i got them for the dog, so they can mix it with his noodles. I just don't want to turn a blind eye

cutienik:
mayb u dnt knw maidia...nt by hw many kids u av i called mamas here 'senior'...its jst by my choice nd respect i av for dem bt if u in anyway feel offended by my rantings..i ll watch my tongue..sori abt evrytin mam.

Offended ke? No now. I just felt i wasnt worthy of the senior title and tot it was reserved for mamas with kids
Hope baby has started kicking? I guess i'm the only one who hasn't started feeling real kicks yet. Baby is just chilling and forming gentle boy

Okay. Thanks a lot. Will do that. If i had the strength, i would have even given her a bath, because i still have some leftover shampoo i was using for my dog. I've been thinking of buying her a nice collar but i don't know how some people reason, before they start thinking i want to take over ownership of the dog.
We still have a long way to go in Nigeria with our treatment of pets

cutienik:
@senior mitchhy dats gud now...i slip for only 4hrs max nd wake to prepare for little man nd oga's day,jst cnt wait to download o...sooo anxious,wish u and d teamies a stress free wk.

Our journey is still a bit far o. The more you think about it, the more it becomes longer. So I've stopped counting
By the way, i never reach senior yet. I'm just an ordinary first time mama

@blasiangurl85 They definitely don't want to sell her
because they always show her off to people. They don't realize that the dog would have looked worse if i wasn't giving her those protein. They are even preparing for when she comes on heat.
Sometimes the dog can be sitting on her own, the man will just deliberately stand on one of her legs, just to hear her wince in pain. I don't know if this treatment is some sort of training but its just not right.
Whenever they release her, she'll run straight to my door to look for me.
I'm thinking of getting chicken backs for her this week. How do you prepare yours for Shadow?

Hi guys, i need your advice. Sorry this is going to be a bit long.

I think my landlord's dog is being mistreated. She's a one year old GSD. A very pretty dog. She is very playful, full of energy, but also aggressive to strangers.
But hasn't been given any single training. She only responds when you chase her to her cage or when you ask her to come.
She is being beaten at least once every two days with sticks. Sometimes the beating can last for as long as 15 minutes, where she'll keep crying badly all through.
Her major offences are not more than pooing inside her cage, running outside when the gate is left open mistakenly, or biting shoes left outside. My problem is, she is not even being made to see that this is her offence, neither is she corrected at the very moment she commits the so-called offence.
How do you expect a dog to not poo inside her cage when you feed her in the morning inside the cage without letting her out to poo until midnight?
Most times the beating happens at night, and it worries me to the extent that i can't sleep.
My other issues with her treatment is her diet. Her diet consists of just boiled indomie. No fish, no meat. That's all. Sometimes they throw biscuit or bone inside the cage for her. But i always make sure i give her some pieces of chicken or fish everyday.

My question is how best do i approach the landlord and talk to him about this? He's a no-nonsense quick-tempered man and my hubby has advised me not to intervene. Or should i speak to his wife instead? We're friends. I just feel i should do something. The beatings are getting too much. I saw some injuries on her body yesterday. The last time she even had her bath should be September

NB: Mods pls I don't need this on fp. Let it remain here for real pet lovers to share their opinion
