First of all, as for my six year old walking our Golden...have you ever heard of a harness, and who said he was anywhere near a street or unsupervised?? Again
I never said Lola had an exam by a vet. I offered that on PuppyFind. Rachel never once asked for it, or asked anything about her health. Lola has only been the vet once, when she was a puppy. I called when she was around a year old and they said they didn't need to see her until around three years old, unless something was wrong. She's not yet three years old, and I had no idea of any health issues.
The only reason I brought up anything about my income is to shut up the people that keep saying it's because I don't have the money or I'm doing it for the money. I never said "You saying you have "so much money" and more money than "most us normal people will ever be able to make" Never said that once! I said, my child support alone, at $600 a week, is more than the average person earns.
I didn't get a higher offer, she is not for sale, and I have no plans to ever sell Lola once I get her back. Again, READ THE PREVIOUS POSTS!! It's not just my son who misses her, it's myself and my boyfriend...all of us. We love her, we've always loved her, why can't you just accept that?
As for the statement that I'm digging myself deeper into a hole, what kind of hole could I possibly be in lol??
And yes, taking your dog places with you is ok, I take my dogs for as many car rides as I can, to soccer games, and the bark park, but taking a dog into a mall or carting them around in carriers, dressing them up in stupid outfits, and showing them off is just stupid. You look like idiotic attention seeking Paris Hilton wannabes. That to me is the epitome of someone treating a dog like a possession. Like I said before, a dog is not a status symbol. If Rachel truly wanted a companion, why wasn't she happy with the puppy she bought?? |
Don't you dare come onto this forum and start telling us we're stupid for dressing our dogs up!
First of all, Paris Hilton didn't invent dog clothes and wasn't the first to dress up her dog, and second of all - putting clothes on a dog does NOT MAKE YOU STUPID AND DOES NOT MEAN YOU TREAT YOUR DOG AS A POSSESSION! I dress my dog because I think the clothing is adorable and my dog is my baby - my child - and I love having her look adorable. I take her places with me because she is my child and I want her to be with me. At least those of us who dress our dogs, actually LOVE our dogs, and don't try to sell them to the highest bidder because we couldn't potty train them!
You are the one who treats your dog as a possession!
If you cared about her at all you'd let her stay where she is now. And who are you to say something is stupid? There are people on here that choose not to dress their dogs but they respect those of us who do dress our dogs. It's a personal preference and not stupid at all. You just really sound like someone who thinks a dog is just a dog and in no way truly cares about Lola.
And about the harness...who cares if the golden is using a harness or a collar. If your son is holding onto the leash, the golden is large enough and strong enough to drag your son whereever it wanted to go...and your son would either be dragged along or would let go of the leash. Either way, not a good situation. My parents would have never let me walk our lab when I was a child. I wasn't even allowed to play with her alone because she could accidentally knock us down trying to play.
Oh, and NO vet would tell you they don't need to see your dog for three years! Even if it's not time for vaccinations every vet will recommend a good physical exam to make sure everything is okay. The fact that you didn't make sure she was checked out regularly and that she received no vet care shows that you don't do what's best for her.
All in all, I very much hope you don't get Lola back..she deserves better
