I am so mad!

Sweetie, I am so sorry they gave him away and didn't ask you to take him!!! I hope you can find out who has him and make sure he's with a better family.

I can't imagine just "throwing" an animal away). I always stress to people how much I've worked with Jackson and a dog doesn't just come knowing what to do. You have to TEACH them. Just like you would a child.

Great advise to give!!! I love it when people ask me how I get my babies to be so good...I simply say just like children, the more time you spend with them the more it shows.

I can't believe I am related to them. I am heartbroken for Bentley.

Unfortunately not everyone takes a dog as a member of the family. to some they are just a novelty that wears off and they become "just a dog" I have some of those in my distant family as well and it saddens me...im Heartbroken for poor Bentley too, but my hope is that just maybe he is in a much better place with people who REALLY love him and will take the time to train him right!

LOL corner of my cabinets and some walls too. I found the bitter stuff a little late too. I have to put part of the x-pen panels around the corners in their room when I leave so they want knaw those as well. BF told me one time (he doesn't live with me) in the early stages of potty training he didn't know how much longer he could stand the smell I told him oh well the road runs north and south choose which direction you want. LOL. And I must say I did and still do shampoo the carpets so it was just him feeling like he wasn't getting enough attention, but I nipped that in the bud quickly.
People who don't give dogs a chance to adjust or get potty trained pee's me off. You can't potty train a baby in 1 day why do people think you can a dog. They got to be taught too. Just like us humans it takes adjusting also to new surrounding.

I wouldn't part with any of my fur babies for anything in the world. My Bassets who are 18 months old are really bad. They get into more trouble than any dog I've ever known. As mad as I get at them I wouldn't give them away for all the tea in china. They're my babies for better or worse. I also have a Yorkie who is 9 months old and we are having a bit or problems with his housebreaking, again he is my baby and no matter what we are in it together.
