OK so twice I have typed up a long post and both times my computer has died just as I was finishing it. Very irritating haha.
Anyway. So I didn't take any offense to your post. about a year ago, we had to rehome my 2 babies - Rusty and Maddie. I'd had Rusty since I was 6, and Maddie was the little girl I'd always wanted. Broke my heart in 2. We had to rehome them because we lost our house when my mom retired on dissability and so on and so forth. It makes me angry when people make blanket statements about those who rehome their dogs when they have no idea what we go through. I still have bad days and I still get teary when I talk about them, but I know it was best for them (and they're even better off in their new homes than they were with us!
) The only people who bother me are those who judge me when they have no idea at all what it was like (and is still like).
BUT I share your frustration with people who rehome their dogs for unnecessary reasons. It makes me sad because they have no clue how lucky they are to be able to have dogs at all. Though truth be told, in a situation like that, the dog would probably be better off in a new home, anyway.
But anywho, I didn't take any offense to your post and I agree with you.
