I (26M) feel like I’m going bankrupt because of my wife’s (26F) dog.

I’m going to apologize in advance. I know this is going to sound like an insane rant from a husband who hates a dog and I’m sure it’s been posted 1000s of times before. But the situation I’m in right now is so absolutely absurd and I just don’t even know what to do anymore. <br><br>My wife and I have a barely one year old puppy, (yorkshire terrier) and I absolutely love him. He’s an incredibly friendly and well tempered dog, and he’s overall relatively low maintenance. The only problem is he is in a “teenage” phase right now and is chewing on everything he can - but that comes with the territory.<br><br>Our issues started with the CGSize neighbors dog. They (65ish year old couple) got a dog at the start of COVID thinking it would be a great dog to have, since they could both work from home. They have a 4 year old Bullmastiff. It is a huge dog, (probably ~210lbs?) and is very well behaved and even more friendly than our dog. But for the last 8 months, we decided it would be a great idea to hire a dog walker to take our dog, and the neighbors dog, on a walk together. <br><br>I was throwing them $20 a day, and they were throwing them $30 a day. So $50 a day for an hour long walk. <br><br>The past 2 weeks have been absolutely cataclysmic. The neighbors dog, when he gets scared, pees. A lot. And by a lot I mean I’m talking multiple 8th of a gallon a day. For the past 2 and a half weeks every time our neighbors dog comes in our house, he finds a spot on our second floor and pees on it. He’s destroyed our second floor and we both have to work from home. It’s not like we can gate off the area for our neighbors dog, since our dog isn’t trained enough for that yet and he’ll find a way out. On top of this, our neighbors dog has eaten part of our couch, dug his way through our carpet, destroyed a bunch of our clothes, and destroyed our chair and footrest.<br><br>After spending thousands of dollars on dog washes, and losing god knows how much money, we decided enough was enough, and it just doesn’t make sense. We called the dog walker yesterday and told her we weren’t going to hire her anymore. It was a huge relief, and I haven’t felt like I could take a deep breath all week.<br><br>Here’s the problem. <br><br>The neighbors dog can not be alone. Ever. Or he will pee. and the neighbors don’t have anyone to walk him anymore. Since they’remfamily is out of state, and they can’t leave their house for 14 days due to COVID. <br><br>This caused a massive argument between me and my wife. I told her we would not be letting them in our house again, and I will never hire a dog walker again. <br><br>Well, my neighbors showed at our door this morning and begged my wife to take their dog for the day. They’ll pick him up tonight, and then their daughter will be out of quarantine in a couple of days and can take care of him (she’s 14). They were also offering to pay us $100 a day to take their dog, which my wife immediately jumped at. <br><br>She took their dog today, and will take their dog again tomorrow. <br><br>I had literally almost never argued with my wife until this dog came into the picture. But every time we discuss this situation my wife seems to make it out like I don’t like dogs. She gets upset it when I call the neighbors dog a dumb dog, (because it pees in the house) and she gets upset when I call him a bad dog. But he is a bad dog. He’s housebroken, but he pees in other houses. He’s a bad dog in that he pees in houses that aren’t his own. It’s absurd to me that my wife will not just agree with this. It’s not like I’m calling our dog a bad dog. It’s the neighbors dog. He’s the one peeing everywhere, chewing up our belongings. <br><br>I don’t know what to do, because I feel like I’m going absolutely insane. I made an ultimatum that their dog is not allowed in our house, but my wife has already broken that for the past two days. <br><br>I’ve lost thousands of dollars, and my home is partially destroyed. I don’t know what to do, because I love my wife but I feel like she’s actively trying to destroy our money and belongings. <br><br>How would you handle this situation?
