i was sort of keeping this from everyone because i knew you'd al look at me badly if you heard this. sorry...
well, when i first got on the board, i said i never had a dog...that isn't entirely true. last summer (the one that just passed) we were looking for a dog and noticed an ad for an 80$ dog. my dad thought it was a great deal, so we drove down to the farm where the breeder stayed and went to see him. he was a 10 week old, sable colored collie mix puppy and i fell in love with him as soon as i saw him. my dad paid the woman the money and we drove home. i knew it was too good to be true to actually have a dog. actually, it wasn't a great car ride because i was carrying him and he got sick twice and barfed on me. anyways, we took him home and named him PRIMO which means first in italian, and he was our first dog. we kept him in the backyard but there was a problem with him. he was really big. way too big for us to keep. we had rushed into the whole thing too fast without thinking it through first and be the end of the day, my dad told us it would be best for us and the dog to bring him to the SPCA and let a family that can give him all he deserves have him. after lots of cries, i finally gave into the descision and the next morning, they brought primo back. i missed him so much but i think i am ready for another dog, one i am sure will be the right dog for us. that's why we are getting a purebred, because we don't need to guess the size. besides, the breeder wasn't very trusting. primo even had a big scar on his side that he had gotten "because a bigger dog had bitten him" and he was only 80$! that's kind of weird. plus, he didn't go to the bathroom until we got him the next morning, so my dad thinks he may have had an owner before. now i am more careful when looking into getting a dog and how to choose the breeder. thanks for listening. i feel better getting that off my chest. i hope nobody sees me as a bad person for what i did to primo. i regretted it for the whole summer but realized how what i did was best for him...and us.
sorry for making you read this.
