I have a friend who treated her lab as her child until the human babies came along. Now he is regarded as a nuisance. I don't blame her as her new responsibilities take up all her time, but where does that leave her dog? |
That is sad. I've seen that with some yorkie owners over the years. They get married, have children, everyone works and all of a sudden they don't have time for the yorkie, so they look at adopting them out. Or the yorkie snaps at their baby and then out the door they go. There are a lot of scenarios that come into play.
