She again ignored me when I reminded her that I take him out every 1-2hrs. I asked her how she would be able to take him out so often since she works 3rd shift, and sleeps during the day..no response on that.
She said she wants "a doggy like yours" sometime next month or Jan. She's interested in going through the rescue I went through. I'm going to talk to that woman into not approving my sister. Is that terrible? I really dont think she'll have time for a doggy. I think she just wants something to be cozy sitting in her lap, but isn't factoring in food, walking, training, cuddling, vet bills/visits and etc. |
The best way is to be completely honest:
You didn't care for your first dog and when confronted with a problem, your option was "dumping" the poor dog to be left to his own devices. You are too immature to care properly for any pet. You work hours that would make it difficult for the pet to have a decent chance at being properly trained and cared for. A pet isn't for you. Period.
