I don't know why I read ads or go to Petfinder. There must be something about me that loves to make myself sad. Here goes the ad:

"Light yellow female lab, 6 months old. Beautiful, friendly, happy dog. Housebroken, spayed, all shots including rabies. Family too busy, not home enough. Over $1,200 invested. Must sacrifice. Asking $600."

This ad made me feel like I wanted to explode. How can someone adopt a puppy and have them for only 6 months and then decide they were too busy for a dog. Hello! They didn't know six months ago that they were "too busy" for a dog?? I think the financial part is what pi$$ed me off most of all. Gosh these poor people invested $1,200. Pity! Pity! What about what the dog had invested in this relationship? He/she thought it found its forever home! No doubt this puppy will wind up in a shelter. Sometimes I wish that people were made to sign a contract when they buy a dog, pledging to keep them for as long as they live, but of course that is wishful thinking and ridiculous. I know I am preaching to the choir by posting this here, but I just had to vent.
