Maybe she's like Charlie, Charlie doesn't like toys either, his toy is ME!! He likes human interaction, just running around, a little roughhousing maybe. Just human interaction and attention for a good couple hours a day.Quote:

Roxy is not, she is tied on side of the house, excuse me.. CONNECTED on the side of the house. Also, just because "lots of people do it" does not make it appropriate.
Roxyluvsme13 and I, as well as other, have spoken in chat before and have gone over things in this thread over and over, however, it seems to go in one ear and out the other. I don't think anything will be changed in this situation because of it, unfortunately.
Her story has changed and changed so I'm unsure of what to believe from her anymore, so i've given up.
That's all I have to say, and if anyone has any issue with something I've said, feel free to PM me.
I'm 13...I have school! Do you expect me to spend 5 hours with her? I have clarinet practice, homework, and tons of other things to do! I give her at least an hour a day!!!Quote:

So your life is too busy to dedicate more than an hour to playing and interacting with the dog you have right now, but you want to get another puppy??Quote:

seriously did you have to make that stupid little point?
So why not use the time you were going to use on the new pup to house-break Roxy... :confused:
But she doesn't take care of the dog you already have?? Taking care of Roxy SHOULD NOT be YOUR sole responsibility. As you said, you're only 13! Taking care of Roxy should be and IS your MOM'S responsibility.Quote:

Like I said my mom will never let Roxy in the house...she always makes up an excuse....Quote:

A humane society should solve that. Or any other RESCUE (not shelter) for that matter. Rescues are no-kill. They will find her a home. And if they can't, she will stay INSIDE with a foster family forever.Quote:

If you care about her enough to not let her "rot away" in a shelter, then you should care about her enough to tell your mom to work with her or give her to another home. Period. You are NOT being fair to Roxy. Personally I think risking letting her "rot away" in a shelter would be in her favor because I'm sure someone would pick her up no problem.Quote:

And you want a puppy? :rolleyes: I guess you started this thread to get some attention even though you won't listen to us. Looks like you got more than enough attention. :rolleyes:
Our shelter kills dogs...Quote:

I dont start threads for attention, I'm not an attention hog...All i wanted was a few name suggestions :mad:Quote:

Your mom obviously doesn't want her anyways. I'm sure you love Roxy, but it's obviously not enough. You should be thinking of what Roxy wants in this situation, not you.Quote:
