Getting rid of dogs.... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My lil friend · 09-07-2011, 12:53 PM

There is a word that goes with an action that is missing from our society these days. The word is "INTEGRITY". I see so many people that have NO idea what it means. To keep your word,even to a lowly dog,fish,bird,,oh ya and child. To put others first,,soooo tired of the "ME FIRST" mentality. People need to realize that there is a blessing in blessing others. I sew because it is a God given gift and I make things for others when I feel that I should. Ya it blesses others,but it blesses me too.
I tell my daughters to look for a man with integrity,one that can keep his word and is willing to WORK,one that does not expect to be handed things. My 20 yr old says that she will probably be single a long time. My 25 yr old is newly engaged to a man that she has already invested 4yrs in and will have invested 3 more before they actually tie the knot.
It is such a shame that our society has turned into a "throw away" "instant gratification" society.
Thanks for the laugh in the original post,the sadness there is that it is just too true.
Make room on your soap box for me.

I agree, but lets pray there will always be loving caring folks that will take them in and give them a wonderful life.

My lil friend · 09-07-2011, 01:09 PM

Yep, that is why the pom lives here,noone else in the family has dogs or was willing to take her. She is a cute lil ole lady,,,,that thinks that she is the only princess here.

I mean I love them and wish I could keep them but they need love and attention and food and clothes and just too much of my time. They are totally not what I expected in kids. They refuse to clean up after themselves, they are mouthy and I just can't take it anymore. Hopefully the fire station will be able to find them a good forever home where someone else will love them and take care of them.

I realize that dogs aren't kids, I am just soooo sick and tired of hearing people give their dogs away because they need too much or bark or want to be petted or want to be played with. Its ridiculous!

While you are at the fire station dropping off your teenagers, would you please ask them if they also take husbands?

Try rubbing his nose into whatever you want him to stop doing. If his behavior gets too bad, you could always resort to a shock collar before rehoming.

Cattle prods work well for unwanted hubby's too

Or spanking. A good spanking goes a long way.

I'm afraid he might LIKE the spanking.

You might be onto something w the cattle prod. Will that get him to put the dishes IN the dishwasher instead of waiting for the little elves to get them out of the sink and put them into the dishwasher?

Valenie · 09-08-2011, 04:53 AM

At least your make it to the sink my HD expects our "elves" to pack them there to!

MaddiesMommie · 09-08-2011, 03:53 PM

I would normally jump right in on giving tips for unbehaved husbands. However, I have found pregnancy can really bring out the best in him though.

darnlora · 09-09-2011, 03:23 PM

hmmmmm cattle prods don't leave bruises ya know?

All I know is hubby doesn't unconditionally love me........

I feel the same way. They deserve to have really great lives and be loved unconditionally.
