Liz, Molly and Mike, I hope this is cleared up soon and a rescue is made quickly, if needed. What you three have offered to do is wonderful beyond words.

I hope she contacts you soon.

Bless you two for doing this.

sorry i havn't kept you updated. i've been very ill. my grandmother is keeping Emmy until we move. thanks for all your concern. sorry lizbud. i was going to tell you yesterday,but i was told to stay in bed. i really am a good owner,i didn't want to put her down. it even ended up i didn't have to. thanks.

Lexie, so what's going to happen to Emmy when you move?? Is her life going to be in danger again? Is your grandmother going to keep her permanently? I'm sorry, but it just seems that your animals are almost disposable to you. Emmy does NOT deserve to be shoved from place to place with no human interaction, and from what I can gather from your posts that's exactly what seems to be happening. If it's not, I am here to publicly apologize.

I don't see how someone can get a dog and be able to just give it up like some item..I don't know what I'd do if I had to give my dogs up..I don't me that to be rude or anything but you don't seem overly conserned about your dog..?

**lexie** · 02-06-2003, 10:57 AM

i am very concerned. i am going to take the dog back when i get completly moved. my landlord said if i didn't find someone to take her for me until i moved she would deal with her. so i called all my friends and put up posts,ads,everything. noone would help. my grandmother,just so happends to love my dogs and got bck from vacation the day i was sadly going to put her down.i tried to look for some reason NOT to put her down. i was just going to have to give her up. whitch is where you came in. i was going to give her to you. but my grandma came by to say hi and i asked her the favor. she said she would love to. she's even going to housebreak her.i get to see her almost everyday.

my dog is not an "item" i love her. i try to help her the best i can. sometimes my options are limited.

it's all under control now.thanks for you support.

I hope your grandmother gives her the love, attention and training she has been lacking until now.

I'm glad this worked out for the dog, Lexie. Thank goodness for your grandmother. I guess everyone should learn a lesson in a way, to not take on more than what is allowed by apt complexes and landlords because it could lead to a desperate situation just like yours. Good luck with your move and thank you for updating us. Obviously, there has been a lot of concern about the dog's welfare on this post.

Thanks again for updating everyone, and thank God your grandmother can take your dog and give it lots of love and attention. Good luck with your move.
