Donna, that is just awful! I don't see anything you did as wrong. You did the right thing. Some people really do need parenting classes. They just don't know how to be parents! Don't they know the dangers at all?

Trayi, which dangers, the dangers of being parents? LOL

Or the dangers of P/o'd store clerks after you retrieve your kids?

Sometimes I think people should have to get a license before reproducing.

Donna, kudos for holding your temper.

Hey, maybe the dangers of both, Ladys Human, LOL! You are right, you should have to have a licence to reproduce! Take a test, the works!

I reallise a lot of you are under the empression that Jen is fearful of my brother. I guess I worded that wrong, because it's quite the opposite. She is more aggresive with him than anyone else and not at all frightened.

P.S. And she never drinks the water that has been peed in.

**Vela** · 10-29-2006, 06:27 PM

So I guess that makes his abuse okay? Since it makes her aggressive rather than fearful??? If you really beleive that, heh, well.....

will have to do, I'm not allowed to say anything else.

**GreyhoundGirl** · 10-29-2006, 06:31 PM

Thanks, that makes me feel loads better.

Do you really think this was MY choice? If I could get rid of him, I assure you, I WOULD, in a heartbeat.

We aren't saying it's your choice that your brother abuses, Jenny. But it's your responsibilty to do something about it and put a stop to it. Part of owning an animal is protecting it from harm, and animal abuse counts for that.

**GreyhoundGirl** · 10-29-2006, 06:39 PM

I do all I can to stop him, but that is rather difficult considering he is now almost twice my size and wieght and a second degree brown belt in contact karate. I don't think you guys realise that I LOVE JENNY. Let the words sink in................. I can't do more than I am already doing, and everyone who helps are doing their best too. I protect her as best I can, if that is not good enough for any of you just add me to your ignore lists.

I agree. If he keeps on doing this, please, please rehome her! If I had a family member abusing my pets in my home, they certainly wouldn't be here. you as a pet owner are supposed to look out for the safety of Jenny and if it comes down to re-homing her, then do it as hard as it may be. you just can't let him do this anymore.

**Alysser** · 10-29-2006, 06:46 PM

Wow, temper..temper!

Please direct me to where I said you didn't love, Jenny.

You can certainly do more then your already doing. No one ever mention getting physical with your brother to stop him. Your parents are the authority figures in your house and they should take responsibilty to his actions.

**GreyhoundGirl** · 10-29-2006, 06:48 PM

Sorry, I know you guys would ALL love to see me re-home her. But it's not happening. Sorry, but it's not. We are just going to take it slowly untill he is old enough to leave home. Than we are going to make sure he gets out the minute he can.

well I just hope he stops hurting Jenny.

**Giselle** · 10-29-2006, 06:49 PM

Maybe there is nothing you can do physically, but I have said this already.

You don't jump from trying to stop him yourself to asking the OSPCA to step in. You tell the authority figure in the house... your *parents*.

Again, abuse is not okay. Just the fact that you said that your brother is turning her aggressive shows that she's enduring emotional abuse. An aggressive dog with children in the house is a case for disaster. IMO, this is just asking for the AC to step in. If you really love this dog, rehome her.

**GreyhoundGirl** · 10-29-2006, 07:00 PM

Do you think my parents are stupid? You think they don't notice? You think they haven't tried to stop him?

"and everyone who helps are doing their best too." This means my parents, and many others are helping. Sheesh.

We aren't in your house, you typed "my brother does blah,blah,and blah to my dog." and automatically we assume Jenny is being abused. We can only go by what YOU yourself typed. Sorry, but we're not mind readers.

I'm not in your situation, nor do I know how you feel about this but I would be doing alot more then you are to make my sister stop.

BTW, I don't want to put you on my ignore list. I enjoy many of your posts and seeing pictures of Jenny. I never want to use the ignore list option.
