| It is official--I am a responsible dog owner!!!! Just had to give you the update. Had my 2 year old bella spayed and that finished the round of my gang. My first yorkie neutered at 4 months and inherited a 8 month male and had him neutered at little over year old. Inherited a 2 year yorkie and had her spayed few weeks ago. I am so attached to my female the very thought of her having babies made me shiver. I just had to share this mild stone with people I know will appreciate this moment. Oh, and if you have not had your dogs fixed I don't mean your not a responsible dog owner! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Ha, ha, I remember when that saying first started, and I can remember some people saying it was cruel to neuter/spay our pets, we were really only doing it for our convenience. Well congratulations, on being a "responsible" pet owner, and hope your crew appreciates you!

| Congratulations! I took Lucy to an ER vet before I had her spayed and he was so nice but really made me feel bad about not having her spayed. She had liver issues and we were waiting on that - but I was never going to breed her. Anway, like you, I don't have to feel guilty anymore. Yay!

| good job i don't think people should make others feel terribly guilty about not spay/neutering pets. there are those out there that want to, but really honestly can't afford to. to me this doesn't make them bad owners, i think there are lots that love their pets and take in a stray or something and feed it well but just can't quite get that big bill saved up for. thank heavens for spay/neuter clinics and vets that do low cost services on rescue dogs and cats! they are truely saints. spay/neuter if at all possible for your own sake and the pets. overpopulation is what put that rescue pup on the streets to start with and you don't want to be another addition to the problem and if you can't afford the bills, look to a low cost clinic or a shelter to help out. some shelters will foster a dog/cat that you found and are willing to keep and help cover it's vet costs and allow you to adopt after you've fostered them awhile during their care period... good luck and thanks to those that do spay/neuter their pets!! |
