But please, just think you all. We all are putting our feelings and perspective into what op has said (in this and many other posts) and we just come across very it is our way or the highway. I am sure I have done it in the past.. and I will tell you.. when I have it seams life (God.. Karma) kicks my butt!!!! |
Actually, nothing we say is going to change her mind. I believe we all know that.
The point many of us are making here is the irresponsibility of many people. If anything, I would hope that some of what is said will strike a chord with someone looking for a pup...may they think long and hard before they get one. Will they be there for the long haul???? I see people surrendering/dumping their dogs constantly and I see the trauma these animals suffer...so, yes, I will always speak up for them. Always! One person who is surrendering this week failed to tell someone WHY...I know why. He wants a more playful dog....seriously..can you imagine? He is dumping this one and going to buy another.
There are many people who have been through life's challenges and still have their pups. Someone said something about walking in another's shoes. Those of you who think that those of us who are so vocal about people dumping...yes, DUMPING their pups need to stop and think. Do you not think that some of us have not been walking in some rough shoes? My home was a mess following Hurricane Ike and needed to be completely remodeled.....I did not give up my pups nor my fosters. I found a way. It was rough...but they are part of my family.
Again, what we say is not going to change the OPs mind. She already set out to sell her pup from the start. She then said she would give him away. I don't know what she intends to do. I just know what we say does not matter to her. She said that. BUT...I do hope it deters another person from getting a dog if they are not willing to make a commitment for the life of that pup.
Dogs are not disposable.
