My dog that was hit by a car was a female so in my eyes it can happen to any dog! i do believe that people dont intend for it to happen to thier dog OBVIOUSLY, but i also believe that you can train your dog not to run into the street! since ive lost A FEMALE dog due to her running in the street, iVE already trained my current dog not to do it!! Hazel (my dog who was killed RIP) liked to go in the street sometimes, i didnt train her not to go in the street because OBVIOUSLY i didnt think i would ever lose her, and i didnt think anyone would stupidly speed up a steep hill. To tell me that most of the dogs that come in and are hit by cars are unaltered male dogs is almost like telling me that just because my dog is an unaltered male he will get hit by a car! I HAVE LOST A DOG, FROM BEING HIT BY A CAR AND I WILL NEVER EVER LOSE ANOTHER DOG THAT WAY!

***this is no longer a response to you, so that you dont think im attacking you because i am not.****


dogs are extremely smart animals they are not IDIOTS! i can teach my dog to do whatever i want!! and if i cant get him to learn it i will hire someone to teach him the behavior for me!!!! He already knows not to go in the street AND IS STILL LEARNING, and i dont care what female dog he is after my dog will not end up dead in the street! I did not ask people to attack me because of my decision to keep my dog intact. i simply asked people if thier dog was fixed and how they felt about it, SO IF YOUR INTENT IS TO ATTACK OR MAKE ME FEEL BAD YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME BECAUSE I DO NOT CARE AND I WONT CHANGE MY MIND! I WILL NOT BE SCARED INTO MAKING MY DOG GO THROUGH A SURGERY I DO NOT WANT HIM TO HAVE (period)..

I wanted to learn about how people felt about the surgery being done on thier dog, and i wanted to learn how people who havent gotten it done has felt! i think its sad that anytime someone brings up this topic those who are pro spay and neuter (or whatever) always seem to attack those who are against it, but its never vice verse, then the people against it have to spend the majority of the time trying to defend thier position! its unfair that someone isnt allowed to have an opinion of this surgery being wrong without being attacked about it or otherwise be scared into wanting to have it done! people need to become more open minded. I have continued to say that i UNDERSTAND why some people get it done, even those who have been on this thread constently sticking with me have said the same thing! but none of you have been able to expand your brains big enough to UNDERSTAND (NOT AGREE) with why some peopel dont get it done!!! I am aware that there are people who are too cheap, or lazy or perhaps dont care enough to get the srugery done to thier dog, but that is not everyones reasoning. And the point of my thread was a place where i felt people could honestly state why they did what they did or why they feel how they feel without being attacked by others. but since having asked the question i wish i could take it back because all it has done was made me not like some YORKIETALKER, whom i previously loved!! I have always loved the people on her, because through some of my most difficult moments they have been by my side giving me advice and supporting me through it all. And i felt that these wonderful people would be muture enough and open minded enough about a discussion regarding spay and neuter srugeries. I will always understand why it is done, i understand why it can be important. i understand why people choose to do it. i just DONT AGREE WITH THE PROCEDURE OR THE IDEA BEHIND IT. BUT I WILL NEVER KNOCK OR PUT DOWN ANYONE WHO DECIDES TO GET IT DONE BECAUSE IT IS THERE CHOICE!!
