    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 .. 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.

    Sometimes finances don't give you any choice but to downsize.

    I hope they find this dog a great home.

    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...

    Some collies love to run, and Jazmine sounds like one. Manchester is a congested city, if they are in a small apartment they may well have no yard. It is very sad, but a "working" breed like a collie, if it doesn't get enough exercise and stimulation, could end up very sad and stir-crazy in a confined space.

    I hope she finds a good home.

    That's excellent. It sounds like you're managing well!

    But I'm tired of people looking down on and trashing others when they see someone giving away a loved one for their better needs, especially in this case when it sounds like she IS loved.

    I'm just tired of people using lame excuses to pretty much "give away" their so beloved animal.. I could not just give away a dog, inless there was EXTREME cercumstances. 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.

    That's what I thought too. My pets are family & don't go anywhere
    without me.


    The Collie is gorgeous & it's a shame she has to go through all that.

    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.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
