My sister has a broken dog. He has aggression issues. He's attacked my dog, me and her several times. Last June I told her he had to go, or I would. I backed down when I saw her falling apart. She had a fucking nervous breakdown over the dog because she has to save him. So I let him stay. He's been on a severe behavior management course. A course that I adhere to like the word of God. However my sister does not, because "he's getting better." I am sick of pointing out that her refusal to follow the rules sets him back.

He's been on this "therapy" for months now. He's on meds. He's watched like a fucking hawk when I'm alone with him. I don't let him get away with anything. He goes on walks 3x a week and comes home exhausted. He has to wear a muzzle on walks because he bit the walker.

Today he came home breathing like a freight train. I took the muzzle off, so he could get water. The UPS man came to the door. UPS comes to our house almost daily. He went nuts. He threw himself at the door, and then charged across the living room and bit me in the stomach. If I hadn't been wearing lose clothes, he would have hurt me. The walker was there too. He didn't bite the stranger; he came for me.

I called my roommate/sister, and all she could do was start her litany of "why's, what if's, oh no whatever shall we do, he's a good dog...". I've gone cold inside again. I'd finally gotten past that, but my life revolves around this animal since I work from home. I want him gone. I am done with this shit. Does he have to bite a stranger or tear me open for him to be gone?

Now she's coming home early. I don't want to get into a fight. I don't want to give ultimatums. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sick of this shit.
