This poor dog.
http://nh.craigslist.org/pet/334974918.html
OMG How sad!!!! :( :(
I wonder if they tried rescues??
Oh the poor thing!
I pray she's found a great home!
Grrr.. oh some people make me SO flipping mad!! :mad: :mad:
How horrid!!! They make themseleves so sincere in that add...I hate it when I read about people giving away/selling their dog because they have a baby on the way :rolleyes: .. I would NEVER dream of getting rid of any of my dogs because I am pregnant, and if I thought the house I was moving into was too small for the dog, I WOULDNT MOVE THERE!! Some people make me sick. :mad:
Sometimes finances don't give you any choice but to downsize. :(Quote:

Wich is fine, but is no excuse to get rid of a dog!!!.. I lived in a fairly large three bedroom house, with a HUGE backyard for about three months.. And I just moved back in with my parents in their TINY one bedroom basement suit.. And guess what, I kept all three dogs, and I have a baby on the way...Quote:

I hope she finds a good home.

The Collie is gorgeous & it's a shame she has to go through all that.
That's excellent. It sounds like you're managing well!Quote:

:confused: The header on the post says 6 year old but the body says 7.
Typo?
Anyway, I hope this beautiful dog finds a good home. :)

And moving just isn't one IMO. I just believe that a dog should be considered part of the family, and I dont know anyone who would give away a child if they didn't have the room for it. I know collies can be extremely energetic, but that dog is an older one, so it should be a bit more mellow... And it shouldn't matter anyways, they should just take it to more dog parks, or for a walk everyday.
Who the heck would move into a smaller house with a child on the way and three dogs? That just dosent make any sence... :confused: :confused: :confused:

I didn't ask to get sick. I didn't ask to have to go on sick leave. Luckily I am on FMLA so they have to hold my job for 12 weeks, but a large portion of the time I will be out is going to be unpaid. And when you live paycheck to paycheck, as most people do these days, having 1 week or 2 weeks or more unpaid can really put you in a bind.
Oh well, just thought I'd put my 2 cents in.
I am with you Scooters Mom, I did lose my house, my car and a whole lot of others things were sold so we could afford to move to a rental townhome. My dogs were used to having a fenced in yard, large home with plenty of room (80lb Golden and 55lb Collie mix). I was very difficult for them at first having to be on leash all the time, that was 3yrs ago we now having a doggy park they built this year. I did not want to lose my dogs, but if I would not have had a choice you do what you have to do. Most rental places do not accept large dogs, things happen!
This is the reason why we had to downsize for a while.. Because it is really rare to find a house for rent that allows dog, let alone large breeds... We couldnt find ONE place that allows pitbulls.. So if we ever plan on moving out, we have to lie about Daisy's breed.Quote:
