They were offered the suggestion to put diapers on it. My questioning of them being provocative was furthered by the comments/responses that were made....
The third comment even gives them an easier option of just rehoming them to which they never bothered to even look at or respond...
There's about a few pages with options, explanations, opinions, etc. they only responded to the first ones defensively- which granted anyone would do but it doesn't seem he ever read the rest.
My accusations and assumptions aren't baseless or without any merit; I simply explained to them as to why there is hostility around.
Maybe their intentions weren't that- you're right I don't know the OP, I wouldn't really know for sure. One can only guess to put things to rest.
I maybe wrong, but isn't this a forum where one comes talk, or ask questions about the special animal they oh so love? So wouldn't coming on here and basically coming out and essentially saying "I didn't properly train my dog, now my dog is causing me grief because I never bothered to completely train her I want to end her life as it is causing some discomfort and work in mine" be like punching a european fire ant mound and leaving your fist there?
I just think their words could have been carefully selected at least if they wanted to avoid confrontation. They made it seem like the dog was a burden because they didn't train it, and because they and their son are getting tired of it they feel like possibly putting it down.
But to be honest, the deed could already be done by now.

I understand. I think that the OP didn't understand how passionate Yorkietalk people are about their dogs. I'm afraid that they may have been overwhelmed by the response and left us. I think that they were truly hurting over a difficult decision and not intentionally trying to be provocative. I wish they had stuck around for the whole thread, because there was a great deal of diversity in the replies, and some good advice given for humanely dealing with the incontinence and extending the dog's life if that was an option. Also, the OP could have posted more information that would have helped us give more specific beneficial advice. OP, if you're still reading this thread, we'd be grateful for an update.
