| Angry... Need to Vent My boss told me yesterday that she's thinking of rehoming her dog that she's had for eleven years because she can't continue caring for her. Since she was promoted to Predident last May she said the dog doesn't get enough attention. Then she continues to tell me that she dropped the dog off to get checked because she had a couple that was interested in taking her dog. The vet called her and told her that the dog has medical issue (liver and eye) and since she's thinking of rehoming the dog perhaps she should consider PTS. She said she would call the vet back. Well I guess she asked the couple if they wanted to still take the dog and they said no, so now she is going to PTS. I don't agree with this because she should give the dog to a rescue. I realize that with a sick dog there's going to be monetary expenses involved because I have a sick baby myself, but to just decide to end the dog's life?!!!! It's eating me up inside... Am I being irrational?

| I think you boss is a heartless witch. Did she ever love the dog and if so, how can you just fall out of love with your pet?

| You are not being irrational at all!!!! How can this woman abandon a sick dog???? My dog has health issues and needs medication and I could never, ever give him up!!!!! I love him so much. No matter what he needs he gets. I hope she can find someone else to take this poor dog. He needs love and compassion. This is so upsettting. |

| I do not understand people like your boss. To have a dog for 11 years , and want to get rid of ??? then finding out the dog has medical issues , now she probably thinks she has an excuse to PTS . To me this is selfish , heartless, mean , and cruel. How disgusting. I wonder how she would feel when she is in her 80's becomes ill , and her family decides to put her to sleep

| I don't think you are being irrational either. I'd have a hard time working for or with the individual. I surely hope that when she gets old and needs help that someone helps her and she remembers her poor doggie friend of 11 years. I take exception to the vet's recommendation. You'd think that the vet would recommend rescue and PTS only as a last resort. |

| I think that people fall into two black and white camps on this issue: either you are willing to spend a lot of money on a sick dog (like most of us) or you are not. Those that would NOT, don't seem to understand that we love our pets as family and treat them as family. They simply don't get it and never will.

| I know and I tried to nicely tell her all the health issues Bailey has and I still love and care for him and she cut me off and said "oh forget that". Then has the audacity to sit there and tell me how upset she is that she has to put her dog down and that the dog has been a part of her family for 11 years. That her dog is like a part of her family. Well then my issue is then why just pts without trying to at least find a new home. Would you do that to your child? And why would the vet even put that thought in her head?! UGH!!!!

| I don't think that is fair at all....would you do that to your child, let alone an eldery parent? That makes me so mad, that people get puppies, and don't think about the future of that pet. I do however, agree to PTS an animal if their quality of life dwindles or cannot get beter via surgery or medications. What a flake!

| I agree too but she told me the vet said that it was treatable with medicine. Quote:

| Well, then whats the problem? If her child was sick, I'm sure she would take care of it, I treat all my pets as humans, they have feelings too!

| Losing a pet is like losing a part of the family. I do not understand people who can just give their beloved family members away.
