I agree 100% !! ... I tried to somewhat express that in my last post .. then I was also letting people know there are situations I don't agree with such as the "teen" that was trading her pet her family gave her for a SideKick lol...That is ridiculous but with this situation I don't see anything really wrong.
I am one to say first hand, if you haven't walked in my shoes PLEASE, DO NOT JUDGE ME.. as I have had a hard life and no one would know that unless they were me ... I know none of us would ever willingly give up our babies, but sometimes life just gets in the way and it may not be the best decisions we make, but they might be the only ones we can make at times.
Like I said earlier, if someone is trading a Yorkie for a Wii or anything else.. it is probably best the dog go somewhere it is cherished and loved and to someone who wants it and can give it the time and devotion it needs.
I personally wouldn't trade my baby but I cannot judge those that make the decisions they do because I don't know the reasons behind them.

Also in this economy, a lot of people don't have $700 lying around but you know what they say one mans junk is another mans treasure. Craigslist is a great way to reach a lot of people and its free. I don't think what she is doing is wrong. Her kids may want a Wii and she cannot afford it, so this is a way for her to get it and find homes for her babies. I hope those 2 babies get a great home and stay together. Most of us here would never trade our pups, but how do we know she didn't lose her house and needs to downgrade and can only get an apt that does not allow pets. This thread quickly jumped to BAD conclusions. I don't have kids and if I'd lose my house before I gave up my boys.... but that cannot be the case when a person has children.
Please don't judge when you don't know the story and don't have a right to.  You never know someone until you walked a mile in their shoes. |
