You don't sound rude at all, just passionate. When it comes right down to it, I cannot imagine us sending her back. She is precious and we love her.
My husband is speaking out of frustration and fear. Fear because we adopted a dog that had a sporadic incontinence problem and kept her for 17 years, until she died at age 20. We could never figure out when and why she peed. She would go for days and not do it, then we could find dried pee on the hardwood floor in the dining room. Over the space of years, our floors were ruined. I don't know whether they had diapers then but if so, I was not aware. The vet said that she may have been spayed too young. She also was probably traumatized from the abuse she had suffered before we got her. We are retired and on a fixed income. The possibility of ruined flooring, carpets and rugs, that we can no longer afford to replace, is daunting. However, I know we will do everything in our power to work through it. The first step is research and I am so glad that I found this site and can get a good variety of advice.
Thank you for advocating for her.
