Ok, well I disagree with people I pet sit for often. Most of them feed bad quality food and the puppy parents don't believe me when I tell them they need to crate train in order to potty train. A puppy free in the house is not going to learn to be potty trained!!

There is this one client that makes me so frustrated. They have two "Cockapoos." THEY ARE NOT COCKAPOOS. They are pure bred poodles, they are just not shaved the poodle way (unless the spaniel just doesn't show up at all, is that possible?? hair is DEFINITELY poodle hair).

Quotes from them:
"They sleep in the great room. It's really the garage but we call it the great room because people look at us funny if our dogs sleep in the garage" Glad to here you don't like your dogs, so they sleep in the hot garage in summer and cold garage in winter.

"The lady we bought them from had 35 puppies when we went, she does it for a living" 35 PUPPIES?!?

"They are almost 100% paper trained" Oh, that's nice. They both just peed on my floor.

"They are just dogs" No, they are adorable puppies and deserve better owners than you two

They came in while I was volunteering at the vet, and told the doctor "our dogs used to have a $100 limit, they cost over that and go to the pound" WTF you don't care about your pets. WHY GET THEM??? By the way, they go to the worst doctor at the vet, he over charges for everything and does unnecessary tests. Plus the dogs both got the 5 in one shot, rabies, and bordetella ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

OK the finale.
"yeah, my other cockapoo never needed hair cuts. It was so strange, she never shed but never got hair cuts" So you're saying, a pure bred poodle (needs hair cuts) mixed with a cocker spaniel (needs hair cuts) magically makes a dog that doesn't need hair cuts?? Well, good luck with that lady. I was going to recommend to you the best groomer in our area but if you are CERTAIN they don't need hair cuts that's fine. But you have two pure bred poodles, so they are going to need hair cuts. I can't wait until they get to the groomer and their like, these aren't Cockapoos....

What's the point of getting a dog if you aren't going to give it the best care you can give it. RESEARCH people RESEARCH.

I'm done, thanks for listening.
