Just STOP Bothering the Dog!

I live in a 525 sqft one bedroom house. It really is TINY. Living here with me is my boyfriend of 9 years and my 65lb American Pit Bull Terrier (who is the love of my life sad but true). It's been a COLD winter here and this tiny house is heated by a wall furnace located in the living room. It's a mad dash between all of us in the house to get to that heater when it kicks on to just get that bone chilling cold out of our bodies for just a few moments.

My dog N. LOVES the heat. He'll lay in front of that heater, or really any source of heat until he starts panting, and then stays put. My Boyfriend (known as BF from now on) is this skinny guy of 130lbs who is 5'11" tall (yeah, no clue why he's lost so much weight over the past few months) who gets cold if you walk past him and theres a wind constantly fights my dog for the heat and this annoys the heck out of me.

BF will yell at N. to move, which causes N. to run to me in the kitchen. N. then starts bugging me to tell me that the BF told him to move (Picture a kid running up to their mother and tattle tailing on their sibling and you get a good picture of what I deal with). I tell N. to go lay down which then sets the BF off because N. MUST go past the heater to get into the living room, and as soon as N. feels the heat he stops and tries to lay down which is NOT want the BF wants at all. So for the 7mins the heater is on, it's a constant battle of the BF vs N.

How hard is it to just share the heat? I mean really, come on. The dog is laying on the floor, minding his own business. You can step over the dog, he will not move. He's far enough away from the heater where you can stand in front of the heater and not be bothered by the dog. Just leave the F&*#&*g dog ALONE!

I know it seems petty, but this has been going on EVERY DAY since OCTOBER! I mean really? REALLY?!?! You can't just leave the dog alone?!?!? Then you FIGHT me over telling you to PLEASE stop making the dog move every time you walk next to the heater? Is it that hard to PICK UP YOUR FEET AND STEP OVER THE DOG?!?!?!!! Stop being so lazy and just do it. I swear my BF only does this stuff because he doesn't like the dog, which I would just like to point out that HE is the one who wanted to get a dog! I wanted a cat. I'm not glad we got a dog, because it changed my life and I ended up finding something I love to do, but He is the reason why we got a dog in the first place. Suck it up and deal with it!

You'll hear a LOT about my BF in the future. This is only the beginning...
