What is wrong with these people?!  After even 1 year, if you are not fully emotionally attached to these babies, then you must not have a heart. I just don't get people sometimes. I look at Jackson and sometimes my heart hurts I love him so much.
I just signed up to volunteer for our local humane society. I'm scared I'm going to be violent if I encounter these kind of idiots...."they pee everywhere", "they bite my shoes", "they bark alot'. Well, then YOU haven't trained them correctly. This in NOT their fault. It's YOURS! Sorry, I just had to vent! |
I don't understand it, either. You don't just get a pet for a day, it's a lifetime commitment. They are a part of your FAMILY. You don't just give your kid away because they didn't meet your expectations or you are moving.
Arrgh! The moving bit makes me so mad. Where does it say that when you move you can't bring your dog with you? The whole "the new apartment doesn't allow dogs" thing is, IMO, really lame. Find a different apartment. Pet friendly accommodation should be pretty high on the list if you choose to have a pet.
Poor training is another one of my peeves. These are such smart animals and want to please you. It really doesn't take much time... just loads of reinforcement. I was talking to an obedience trainer and it was mentioned that 5 minutes a day could do wonders.
I think the only one I can show a little emphathy for is the having a baby one, but not really. If you are in your "fertile years" and think you may want to have children and you get a dog, you better make sure the dog is socialized with young children.
I really don't know of any situation where I could willingly give up my little Breyls. When I adopted her, I made not only a commitment to her but to myself. And I can honestly say that she is the BEST dog ever and I would be heartbroken if anything happened to her.
