Maybe I should just ignore this, but it just really gets me.
The woman I work with lives with her grandparents - it's a real disfunctional situation at best. Grandma and Grandpa argue all the time. Grandpa has had a stroke and from what I can gather was a real control freak before and has become worse since the stroke. Grandma has been telling him she wants a lap dog for a couple of years that I know of and she finally got one. I think the only reason she's doing it is just to spite him.
Neither Grandma nor Grandpa cannot take care of themself - that's why their granddaughter lives with them. Well, now Grandma has this PUPPY! He's 9 weeks old and he chews, potties all over and generally runs wild. She complains he won't mind - duh - he's a puppy!! So now she's taken to using a newspaper to correct him.
Her getting a PUPPY was such a bad idea! Her having a dog is a bad idea, but a puppy is a disaster!!
I feel sorry for the puppy because he was sold to a man who got him for his wife who said "NO!!!" So he sold the puppy to the woman I work with's mother. She didn't have time for the puppy so she sold it to her step-mother. This poor animal is only 9 weeks old and is in it's FOURTH home. Of course he's wild and acts out - he's scared and doesn't know what will happen from day to day!
I've told the granddaughter that if and when Grandma admits defeat, I can't take the puppy but I'll make sure it gets a good home. But the whole thing just makes me so mad.
Another case of someone who NEVER should be allowed to have an animal gets one just because...
