People, please, just let the thread die. I'm sure when/if Cayter reads all these comments, she'll be very hurt. Let's just stop, please..
Well said Karen. I feel the same way.Quote:

I am sure Cayter's heart is broken over this.
No one needs to post here about what they think of Cayter's parents - THEY do not read Pet Talk. And, frankly, I think Cayter is being as responsible in this situation as she can be. She tried for months to work it out. She contacted the breeder, and made arrangement there. She did not do any of the awful things that are often done to dogs. I won't go into the the "coulda beens" - because they aren't going to happen.
Do not yell at her, please. You wanna yell? PM me and yell!
But the strength of Pet Talk is that we care. We care about animals. This causes dissention sometimes, but only because we DO care.
And that's a good thing.
I understand everyone's point here, but seriously, some of you are going WAY overboard. What has happened has happened has happened. Its a thing of the past, and there's no way you can go back in time and make Ozzy's adoption something that never happened. It ALREADY happened. Cayter ALREADY got Ozzy, months ago. I agree that it wasn't well thought out enough, but sheesh, would you all just stop hurting her so personally? For heaven's sake, the girl is 12 or 13 years old. Girls at that age are so very sensitive. I know she is well aware of the wrong that happened in this whole issue, and I'm certain she regrets it, and has learned a valuable lesson from this. Her heart is already hurting so much. How sad that the same people who care SO much about a dog could care less about the feelings of their fellow human beings.
Ozzy will now hopefully go to a home where he will get all the love and attention he deserves. The end results will hopefully be good. Enough criticism. I'm sure Cayter got our point 3 pages ago. This was a huge lesson for her to learn, and I'm sure it will have a great impact on her life.
I am sure when Foam posted both these threads, the one about not having time for him and that she was giving him up, she knew that she would receive unfavourable comments, she has been on PT long enough to know how our emotions get when this type of situation arises, but regardless she wanted to share this with us all, so let us try not to be too hurtful, I too am disappointed, but Ozzy is going to be ok, its not like he is going on the streets or anything, infact he may be way better off in his next home, which hopefully will be forever.
I feel for Ozzy just like the rest of you, I could never part with any of my animals, but if it is in the animals best interest, then we just have to respect that, what is done is done, no matter how we all feel.
I am sure Foam may well be hurt by some of the posts, but if she did not want to read it, then she would have been better not to post at all, as she is aware this post would stir things up, JMHO.
When I was 20, I gave up a cat named Simon because I was going to college and working full-time and had no time for him. He used to be all over me when I was home because he was so lonely. I gave him up to a better home with a friend who had 6 or 7 cats and had more time. Although I still believe I did what was right, I was young, and mixed up on my priorities. I couldn't help the way I was so I did what was best for Simon.
Now, over 20 years later, I have 4 cats and a dog. I've had pets for over 13 years and had to put my Chelsea down due to cancer. I am a much different person now. All of my cats came to me as strays, and I've fixed and found homes for a few other strays I couldn't keep. My former dog, Chelsea, was a fear biter (previously abused) who I couldn't take around many other people but yet I kept her for 13 years and always had her feelings uppermost in my mind. I now have another rescue dog, Dillon, who was seen being dumped out of a car. After 5 months, he still chases the cats but we've been to obedience classes, and continue to work on his "chasing" the cats. I plan my vacations around where I can take the dog, and who can watch the cats. I've walked my dogs twice a day unless there is a blizzard and have given up many evening activities so that I can spend time with my companions. I've spend a ton on vet care, and contributed to all area shelters whenever possible.
None of us is without fault. I still don't like who I was when I was young and selfish, but I am grateful that I learned from my experiences and became a more mature and responsible person. I hope I continue to become a better person as I get older and I hope friends and family will support me even when I'm wrong.
I guess my point is that we are who we are, and the only thing we can change is who we become. At 13, Cayter has already learned a lot about responsibility and committment. When she gets older, hopefully, she will be able to take it more seriously because of her experience.-----------Penny

I sure hope Ozzy will go to a loving *forever* home where he is loved every day of his precious life, for the wonderfull sweet fun loving guy he is.

Are you kidding me? After everything that has been said and the issues that come up, you still have the nerve to 'ditto' what was said? That's disappointing. :(Quote:

But hey ... do what you want, toss any sort of compassion out the window ... I've already lowered my expectations of plenty of people here. Why should I care anymore? :rolleyes:

I am very impressed with your post. Well said!
Welcome to Pet Talk!

If i was "kidding" Brooke i would not have said it. Each to their own though.
As stated before, each is entitled to their own opinion. And once again, Brooke you are the one that keeps dragging it out.
Why don't you start another thread, if you want the attention?
I also think that the world including PT would be a better place if we treated each other the way our dogs treat us. ;) :p
Ah Staci can i Ditto you once again. :)
I am closing this thread.
