I suck

[amalthia]

as a pet owner. I think Pepper is afraid of me however he is learning to behave better when I take him walking. grrr I hate having to be mean but I also hate having my arm jerked out of it's socket. I make sure his basic needs are met but I'm not great at being affectionate or being nice and I feel guilty every time I hate to hit pepper. My brother told me he trained the dog not to pee in the house by hitting him when he did it so I guess I just have to make sure I'm consistant.

I can't wait until I can go home and not worry about the dogs feelings anymore.
