I wondered if it is for real too but I'd rather look a little foolish falling for it than have something happen to this puppy if it does exist.

Just tell her this: the puppy needs to be free fed, which means the food should be left out ALL the time. He also needs to have fresh, clean water out ALL the time. If he does not have this, he will die. Take the info that someone else provided you about hypoglycemia and give it to her. Tell her if she does not take care of this puppy or feed him properly, you will report her. And, then do it!!!

I agree too it's just so off the wall..

I tend to agree too, but there are some really stupid people in the world when it comes to dogs, and I'd hate to ignore it and then have something happen to that poor puppy.

it poops and pees in its crate at the back end of it and lays down towards the door of the crate yea and you right something is not right she's crazy!!! insane and im probably going to end up kidnapping the pup myself

Rather than commit a felony, why don't you just call the police?

How long has she had him?

Not just when it comes to dogs... there are just some really stupid people in the world :rolleyes: I've dealt with some doozies with HUMAN children. I'd believe someone would do this to a puppy. Sad, but I'd believe it.

I agree with what was posted before. Make it clear to her that the puppy will die, tell her you will report her, and then follow through. It sounds to me like you aren't too terribly close to her, but that her husband even wanted you to take the dog...?... maybe since he agrees with you, he could tell her that the puppy will die, and he will find a caring home for the dog if she doesn't start treating him like a living creature. She would probably listen to him better than she would listen to you. I would work through him- give him the info to give to her etc. Maybe he could take the dog to a vet and have the vet even tell her- it sounds like the little guy needs to see a vet anyway.

-O

PS who thinks a puppy is sexy, anyway?

i just pulled out all of coco's old puppy stuff and put it in a box to take to her if she refuses to let me help her i will just take the puppy out my uncle said it was okay for me to do so cause his sister is not right she herself is bulimic and sufering from an eating disorder she claims that she doesnt want her pup to be fat like mine she wants "louis vuitton" as she has named him to look "sexy" she feeds him about one teaspoon of dryfood a day but he doesnt eat it cause he's only one month he needs milk she doesnt understand that and it is really annoying to see this when i talked to her she said that im jeaslous cause her puppy is a tea cup and will win an award for being the smallest yorkie can you say crazy!!! i explained that there is no such thing as a tea cup but she continued with the your jealous cause you yorkie is obesse but coco isnt she's only 6 pounds ugh i am so tired of her. i tryed talking to her mom but she thinks im just envious of her daughter and there expensive pet shop pup ugh this is so fustrating that there are ppl like this in the world with mental issues she's had the pup for 4days now my aunt has had to sneek feed him nutrical to keep him from dieing im done venting sorry so long

just finished reading this thread!! What is the status on this puppy?? Why would a pet shop sell a puppy that is a month old to begin with?? They should be reported to the humane society as well!!! As for the puppy If it were me I would not spend time here asking for solutions .. I would march my self right over there and take that baby and tell her if she wants him back she can call the police to come get him and they can see how she is treating him first hand!!! Is there a time of day when she is not home and the puppy is so you can take him!! This needs to be resolved one way or the other immediately for the puppy's sake!! I pray that he will be okay

This woman sounds like a lunatic. Take the puppy. Poor thing. :(

i just got off the phone with my aunt once again her husband is paying his sister $500 to take the puppy to the vet tomorrow there going to my vet so i will be going also he needs his shots i want to find out what pet store she got him from and report them and have them closed down asap i am planning on taking him tomorrow from her after the vet visit and will not give him back until she has changed her ways my uncle has given me permission as soon as i get him i will post pics i hope all goes well at the vet and i hope she doesnt put up to much of a fight ugh i hate her

I'm glad you'll be giving him a safe place to be for the time being. I hope for her sake and his she does change her ways.

Too bad there are still people that buy dogs from pet stores:thumbdown

Is this real???
Take the pup and say it ran away.. Do something Please!!!

yes its real and dont worry i will be taking him from her

Keep us updated on how the pup is doing after you get it

i will first thing im going to do is post pics of him and give the vet update im so worried bout him i cant sleep its 1:49 am over here and my coco is looking at me like mommy go to sleep so that i can go to sleep she wont sleep unless im in the bed with her so im going to lay down some pillows and blackys and sleep next to the computer tonight

Aw I am sorry you cant sleep. You will feel better after you have the pup and have taken it to the vet. I keep calling it an it. Is it a boy or a girl?

its a lil boy she has named him louis vuitton it kinda matches with my gurls name coco chanel lol but she has him only for showing off purposes and doesnt know one thing about the breed i feel so bad this is the second time someone i know has bought a pup from a petshop after i have told them not too and the reasons why. i even showed them some of the ads on here of some breeder selling pups but they still didnt listen im so fustrated, with my living situation i think i might just foster him and sell him to someone on here after he has been nutered i dont think he is show quality even though she claims to have papers stating that he comes from good blood lines i dont trust her its so hard talking to her my aunt doesnt like her either but weve been acting nice to get close to the puppy and save him she has issues and sufers from a bad case of bulimia she has insulted my pup calling her fat i was shocked she doesnt have good intetions with the pup and want him to look thin and sexy as she said she is so wrong ugh i hate her lol

Oh thats a good idea I bet you could find a good home for him on here. Try to get some sleep. I am on here because I cant sleep either

lol insomnia i hate it ugh but yea there are alot of great people on her i admire everyone so much they have taught me soo sooo much i love this site and im am so sure i will find him a great home!!!

my investor is from cali, he is coming here today...take him the pup and i will keep him LOL
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: don't i wish :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

well, i hope this turns out better. sounds awful CRAZY to me...i hate craziness LOL

let us know what happens at the vet. surely to goodness the pup is older than 1 month!! surely....right???? anyway, let us know how it goes, post some pics....and Nashville is a GREAT place to visit if you want to take a road trip and bring the little guy to me :D :D heck, i'll do you one better...I'll be in Texas next weekend. not quite as far as nashville LOL

ok...i'll keep watching for an update.

I saw a store out here selling a baby yorkie that was 2weeks old... :( I begged my hubby to let me get her...But they wanted $3000 for her.


I wish you and that baby pup all the luck in the world! Keep us posted, and maybe someone should check that girl into an institute for people with eating disorders?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO WEEKS OLD???! That's not even weaned yet. Grief.

Those people should be shot. On sight. Seriously.

Can you imagine what they'd be capable of doing to a skin kid?:eek:

I don't even know what to say. Not only is the pup in REAL DANGER, but so is your Aunt-in-law - does her family realize how sick she is w/ not only bulimia, but also with respect to the disordered thinking that would result in basically starving a PUPPY over the puppy's "body image"??????? She is in serious need of help. HOW OLD IS SHE?

I would strongly recommend that you obtain a letter from the vet stating the dog's poor/dangerous condition, then, w/ agreement from the rest of the family - REHOME this puppy so that it does not go back to her when she is "better", bc she will not be better for some time. Do not keep it in the family or it will likely cause continuing resentment and issues.

Just please, don't do nothing by giving it back to her.

Yeah, I was SHOCKED! The birth date said 7/14/07... I really wanted to just take her out of there and give her love. Wish I could have. I just hope whoever gets her knows how to take care of her!


I do agree though... re-homing may be the best for family relations and to ease the "drama" that may go on. Best of luck!

Honey,

Just take the dog. Don't concern yourself with your relative's craziness. Take him to a vet and have the vet write out a letter that this dog has been starved and is suffering from malnutrition. You can call the police if you want and report her, but that puppy isn't going to live long enough for you to spend time posting on here and spending sleepless nights.

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I just feel so bad for this dog. I understand your position, but this woman is wacko and cannot have a pet. You can't educate her - she's bulimic herself.

Good luck,

I completely agree. Family member or not, that dog would have been taken immediately. I would have called the humane society, had that dog taken, and fed him like crazy. I just don't understand! It wouldnt have taken me days posting on here, I would have done it at the first sign of neglect. In a crate with it's own feces and urine is just disgusting. No food. If she wants to starve herself or make herself throw up all day that is her choice. I'm sure that precious little pup would NOT choose to live like that. Now go do something to save that little guy, and then worry about posting the GOOD NEWS on here later.
