We tried to do the right thing and put out puppy on the lease. He has been living like Anne Frank, shuttled between apartments to avoid the realtor's maintenance men while we are out. We decided enough of that, it's time to go above board with him and get him on the lease even though it will cost us extra money every month and we may not be able to even keep him if he grows large.
Things didn't go as expected. The realtor told us no one ever allows puppies in their apartments even if they allow dogs and cats. His first excuse was that no one can be sure how big he will get and when we (lied) told him he's for sure a small-dog mix, he then changed up and said big dogs are actually ok but no one allows puppies because they aren't housebroken. We told him that my wife, as a teacher, has off all summer to house break him (but I forgot to mention that we crate him when we are out). He said he would contact the landlord and ask but it doesn't look good.
It feels like someone stabbed me in the chest and I am so worried and anxious.
