Since a dog is a 10 plus year commitment you cannot say for sure what will happen in your future. There are stories right here on YT were the boyfriend, husband or wife do not like the pet. Not that long ago a man posted that he was giving away 2 yorkies that he had before he was married and that his new wife did not like them and they needed to go. The story with older pet owner is usually dealing with owners being put into a nursing home or even sadder death.
I wanted to try to find where you might have posted to a thread about an older person trying to give up their Yorkie that involved snide comments. Most of your posts are associated with Ban the Person Above You, Gift Exchange or Pictures comments. But if I missed something please point me in the correct direction. | I don't disagree with this at all. I think many people rehome their pups for reasons that I do not agree with. I responded to a post on craigs list when a lady was going to put her yorkie down because she couldn't potty train it. Needless to say, I found the pup a home. She was an older woman. I think many people my age are selfish and irresponsible. Or perhaps they do not accept the pup as a family member, just as the family pet. I never disagreed with any of this.... I never said that I made a post to an older person making snide comments. I typically do not try and stir the pot. I simply stated that older people, as well as younger, give up their dogs and all ages will have their own opinion of the re-homing and some the remarks can be snide. I also never mentioned that yorkietalk members are the ones saying snide remarks. And I do not see where I typically post is relevant to this thread. |
