I think that you want a pup but only will see it part time is somewhat jumping the gun and the responsible thing would be to wait. It might all sound hunky dory now but I'm guessing it won't be so great after the pup barks all night or pees all over and someone else has to take care of it because you had to have a pup RIGHT NOW! I'm sorry but I see something like this breaking up a relationship or at the least making things strained between either you and the boyfriend or you and the BF's parents who's home it is.
You also said something about vet visits were covered for 4 months. Well I'm thinking the man's intentions with agreeing to this meant sick visits but I am reading from your post that you are thinking ALL visits. The vet will need follow up well visits and shots during the next 4 months and $18 a shot is only for the shot and an exam fee is usually customary unless somebody knows something I don't know!!!!
I'm sorry but it reminds me of when my kids see someting on TV and just HAVE to have it. They go nuts for the commercials and nuts in the stores but EVERYTIME I go ahead and get it, it wears off and then the toy is forgoton or disgarded. :(
| Yorkieangel, I know this a public forum and you can state your opinion. But there is a line between CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and CRUELTY. You do not know how much thought I put into everything ... so don't say that I jumped the gun. I have been wanting a puppy for a LONG time now (and not because I saw one on TV mind you) and YES, my apartment situation isn't ideal ... but if you were soooo confused with my post, you should have asked me to clarify before jumping the gun on your reply.
First of all, for anyone who wants to assume anything about my current living situation, yes ... I do live in apartment that doesn't allow pets. It sucks, but to me ... it isn't stupid and we have made comparable arrangements. If you don't like it, then that's fine and state your opinion but you aren't going to change my mind and there's no sense beating me over the head with it. I am also IN MY LAST 6 WEEKS OF SCHOOL. So after that, I will be living with my boyfriend. Regardless of that, I will not be home 24/7 to play with our pup. If I was able to do that, then I would have bought that $2200 puppy at the pet store, put him in my Louis Vuitton bag, and then have my chauffeur take me home. Because apparently, in some of your very realistic worlds, you can spend every living minute of every living day with your pet. I'm sorry, but I don't live off of mommy and daddy's trust funds and can't afford to stay home with our pup all of the time. I'm sure plenty of people on YT have to leave their pup for work ... and they shouldn't have to feel bad for having to work to pay the bills.
Like I said, you are entitled to your opinion, but why don't you ask for clarification before you start bad mouthing people's relationships and families? You don't know the situation so don't start "GUESSING" things you don't know. If you really cared about the well being of our Yorkie, then you would GIVE HELPFUL TIPS AND ADVICE rather than sit there and say things that are irrelevant and just flat out mean. No s**t the dog is going to pee and bark. But just because I'm the one posting on this forum doesn't mean that my boyfriend isn't a co-owner or that we are going to break up or ruin a family. Come on now, that's just unnecessary. If I were you, I'd knock on wood. Would you really rather be right about this than wrong about it?
As for you and your kids, maybe you shouldn't get them everything they see on TV. Maybe the reason you're assuming things is because you have 50 million toys lying around the house as constant reminders of all the times your own kids didn't have any restraint. But don't go comparing us to your kids because I did my research and I thought this through. |
