This twenty-one-year-old woman currently lives with her boyfriend, who is twenty-four. And recently, a brand new furry friend was added to their little family– a Pomsky named Kito.
Kito is now six-months-old, but she and her boyfriend got the pup about four months ago. Unfortunately, though, she claims that Kito has just been pretty difficult to deal with.
“I have been told by people that we are not training him properly and that he is going to grow into a bad dog,” she even revealed.
Still, the main problem with her four-legged friend is a much larger one. Apparently, Kito just will not go to the bathroom outside the house.
She claims to have tried everything that dog owners could possibly think of. Nonetheless, Kito will still pee and poop wherever he wants, whenever he wants, inside the house.
So, that means that she and her boyfriend have to constantly watch the pup very carefully in hopes of preventing damage before it can be done.
And even after purchasing and introducing Kito to training pads, the pup still just ignores the pads and goes on the floor.
And recently, Kito’s proclivity for pooping inside has really started to get on her boyfriend’s last nerve.
In fact, he told her that he is seriously fed up with both having to clean up the dog’s mess and deal with the nasty smell all of the time.

“He was also complaining about taking him on walks and other things. But luckily for him, he works Monday through Friday all day. So, while he is working, I look after Kito,” she explained.
One day this past week, though, one more incident seriously sent her boyfriend over the edge and drove a wedge in their relationship.
It all began while her boyfriend was at work; meanwhile, she was still in bed sleeping. This latter part of the story is important.
Apparently, whenever she is sleeping, she keeps Kito in the bedroom with her. She also puts a pad down in the room just in case he needs to use the bathroom.
“But, as I said, he ignores it,” she noted.
So, Kito ended up peeing right next to the radiator– which was turned on at the time. And if you could not have guessed it, the odor was very strong, and the pee also soaked into the floorboards. Yuck!
After she woke up, though, she told herself that she would just clean up the mess later for whatever reason. That “later” never came, though.
Instead, her boyfriend actually returned home that evening, walked into their bedroom, and began literally gagging because the pee was still there.
Then, he asked her what the hell that smell was, and she told him.
Immediately, she claims that her boyfriend became furious about how she never bothered to get up and clean the mess.
Moreover, how even after she did get out of bed, she decided to leave the pee sitting there and stinking up the house all day.
So, at that point, her boyfriend was understandably really upset and just wanted the mess to be dealt with. After he attempted to clean it up himself, though, the damage was apparently already done.
In fact, the pee had actually soaked into the wood floor so much that the smell was still lingering in their bedroom. And according to her, her boyfriend just would not stop talking about it.
And at that point, she decided to apologize but also remind her boyfriend that she has depression. In other words, she does not feel motivated to get up most days.
When talking to a friend about this entire situation, though, her friend ended up telling her that it was “kind of disgusting, to be honest.”
So now, with an untrained puppy and an angry boyfriend at home, she has been left wondering if not cleaning up Kito’s pee quickly enough makes her a jerk or not.
If you have ever gotten a puppy, how long did it take to train them? Is Kito’s behavior normal, or does her boyfriend have a right to be frustrated? What about the pee situation– do you think she should have gotten up to clean it earlier? If her mental health is interfering with her ability to care for the dog, does that raise questions about her fitness to be a pup parent?
