Also, you are knowingly going to a backyard breeder, so that’s another indication that money might be an important factor to you, but I in no way implied you were poor, Miss frowny face.  I should have known by your first statement of wanting "honest opinions without the uglies", you were going to look for any ugliness you could find, and if they weren’t there, you’d find them somehow. You say, “I'm taking vacation from work (they pay you for that now)” and I’m the one that’s condescending? Project much? You say that you, “just want to know if it is safe. Is there anything I should consider.” I have no idea what you mean by “safe”, so I gave you some of the things I thought you should consider. I think you owe me an apology. |
I'm not independently wealthy. I, like most of the world's population work, my husband also works, my 2 of 3 of my children work. You can't inflect tone in text, I'm sorry it came across to me as condescending. My question was quite simple. Is it safe. I made it clear that I have considered all ramifications involved in being a pet owner. Thanks for your background story. As I mentioned before, I did not now the breeder was a backyard breeder until I had paid half the cost of the puppy. I'm in it for the long haul, and would appreciate words of wisdom and encouragement as opposed to posts riddled with fear. (Which is different from, hey watch out for this or that) This is my first puppy. I came here for advice. I appreciate any guidance. Thanks.
