re: Thinking about giving dog away - am I the worst kind of person - UPDATE

Also, she is kind of dumb. We put her outside to use the bathroom and run around in the morning and afternoon/evenings. If we're not out there with her, she won't even go pee much less stay out there and play. She immediately follows us back inside. If we force her to stay outside, she might run and pee and come back to the door and scratch like crazy.

Sounds like she's either anxious you'll leave her or wants to be around you. My dog is pretty unsettled unless he knows you're just hanging out. Once we settle in to watch tv or something, then he'll go roam around. If we're up and moving he's right there with us.
