i just think that it is something you will regret later, plus people will always be asking you "what is wrong with your baby's bark?" and then you would have to explain or make up a lie about why you did it.
i really hope you find a house to rent. hopefully you will have neighbors who love dogs this time around. |
1. I do not lie.
2. IF I decide to have the procedure for Sophie, why would I feel compelled to make up a lie to explain why I made that decision? Do I need to explain why her tail is docked, too?
3. I would never make decisions about my dog based on what strangers or other people might think. I'll collaborate with my vet to make informed, responsible decisions for Sophie's healthcare. I don't owe anyone an explanation. Now if someone wanted to talk about dog healthcare with me, I'm happy to do so. But I won't make decisions based on fear of others judging me.
4. Yes, several people have shared positive experiences. The sad thing is that the topic is so controversial that dog owners don't feel they can openly post that they have made this choice. We all, including myself, need to be a little less quick to judge other pet owners. We all love our babies and are doing the best we can.
5. I hope I find a house to rent, too. :-)
