I can understand how frustrated you are!
I hate it when people have dogs and don't consider them a member of the family. I always consider when I adopt a dog or purchase a dog that it is a lifetime commitment. No dog is perfect and you work with what you got.
It is sad to say that she has no clue how to be a pet owner, ypu can turn most any dog into a loving family memeber with commitment love and praise! I feel sad for her dogs, but they might be better off!
I would NEVER let my husband tell me I had to get rid of any of my animals no matter what!!!

I'll be looking for you to post about her again when her child DOES bite her! Surely someone you know will inevidently stay in touch with her & you'll hear it through the grapevine. Sounds like you've made the choice that will be the best for you but waaay too sad for the dogs involved for sure.

People like that make me so mad! Yep, a child is going to bite, pee, poop, draw on the walls & furniture, and countless other things! She's got a huge shock coming when she does have a child! Some people will never learn that animals are not disposable breeding machines.

Oh, and if MY husband told me I had to get rid of any of our animals, he knows he'd be the one going instead.

But he's as much or more of an animal lover as I an so I don't have to worry about that. He even buried a stray cat that got run over in front of our house one time. He put it in a plastic bag in a coke can box incase the owner came looking for it and wanted to bury it at their house.

Kudos to you for reacting and following your beliefs..... too many people in this world are noncomplacient .I think I have come to a point in my life where if I dont respect you we can't possibly be friends.

I agree. Ethics come before friendship. Some things are just wrong, and how can she be so heartless to just send them away.

Let's not forget that when the kids are sick there's BIG doctor bills. Their health is not guaranteed. :]

You just need to hit DELETE and be done with her

kwaymon · 12-04-2009, 04:44 PM

Well I know someone who treats her dogs that way and she is not a good mother. Also I beg to differ with her comment about her child not biting her. Just ask any mother with a toddler. Chances are they have probably been bitten by their child. It is so infuriating to watch. These kinds of people.

HendrixandLucy · 12-04-2009, 04:55 PM

If she were my friend I would have reported her to the local animal cruelty center. I am sorry, but this is just awful! Those poor dogs get so attached to her and then she just gets rid of them like they mean nothing! I can't even stand it! REPORT HER so she can not abuse any more poor dogs emotions and bodies!

hannahallen · 12-04-2009, 05:24 PM

It's unfortunate you are in this situation, and you are most definitely right in your feelings toward her immature behavior. It's unfortunate because I'm not sure if there is a "right" way to handle this situation. You spoke up--and did the best you could. I hope she realizes her problem and corrects it, before it's too late.

Ringo1 · 12-04-2009, 06:08 PM

Well, fate will get her in the end. Wait until that cute little baby turns into a teenager. Hee hee.

I hope she's saving up for a good boarding school!

capt_noonie · 12-04-2009, 06:10 PM

I agree with everyone. This "friend" of yours is totally immature and should NOT own dogs, and I think should DEF NOT ever have kids either! Obviously she is selfish and only thinking of herself first, and when you have kids, they are first and you put yourself dead last!

And she is so horribly scarred for the rest of her life now from a Pom's bite? Puhleeze, how bad of a bite could this have been? Imagine now if she does have a kid and has a c-section, then she'll really have a big scar for the rest of her life. Will she ship the kid off then too?

I think you need to tell her how you feel one last time, as your "I'm not gonna socialize with you anymore because...."

Those poor poor doggies....
