| Need to rant for a minute OK My girlfriend takes in a heeler mix puppy and I told her a dog is alot of work but she says she wants it. 2months later shes talking of dumping it on the side of the raod!!! She has alot on her plate but she knew this when getting the dog. Now it has worms and she can't seem to get rid of them. I don;t know what shes doing but I know she doesnt have fleas so maybe its a different kind of worm. I know she expects it to just miraclously become potty trained and thinks at 5 months it should be calm and a good listener. Yeah like they do that ever right? I want to wring her neck!!! The vet told her its worm free but I saw the stuff in the poo too so I guess I would be mad for paying for the test to. But she wont buy the worm meds now. Says she has some over the counter stuff to use. I think thats not going to work but you never know. She just wont do the work and patience it takes to raise a good dog. To tell you the truth she doesnt have much patience for anything! I feel like Im banging my head ona brickwall with her lately. Sorry this is so ranty but I need to get it out. What do you do with stupid people? |

Then about a year later they decided they really wanted a beagle, so they got two of them. When we all evacuated for the hurricane they left them in the back yard!!! We took all our animals even the big one! Not too long after that they decided it was too much trouble, so they got rid of them, too! I would never adopt an animal to people like that!] Oh, about the worms, it could be tape worms. They take a different kind of medicine to get rid of.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I have a friend like that too. The mom got the daughter a Yorkie for her bday, ofcourse he was super tiny because he was only 7 weeks old Well now that he's full grown like 9 lbs they are already tired of him and theink they want to get rid of him The daughter wanted a 'teacup' so she said, and the family surprised her with one and now she doesn't take care of it. They feed him crap food and don't comb his hair. My friend is the girl's brother, he is away at school so cannot keep the dog or do anything about it.

| My sister has a friend , same way, she has had 4 different breeds in the past yr Keeps them a month or 2 then bam off they go and another ones comes in, I finally told her i didnt want to hear about her anymore. The only thing you can do is try and educate her good luck,

| Uh oh. Sounds like you might have another dog soon I had (notice I said HAD) a friend that used to do this with kittens. She'd get one and then never clean it's litter box (ewww!) or take it to the vet, get it fixed, etc. Then she'd get evicted for not paying her rent (she had many issues) and just LEAVE the cats there I took in the first one, but after that I was like NO MORE! I wish I knew what to do with stupid people. I'd make them all live on their own island if I had my way
