Well...

I'm so confused. I must of missed a thread explaining this or something. How did she get a parvo test if she didn't go to the vet when she died. How do you know she had something congenital if she never went to the vet?

SHe got a parvo test that one timse she was at the vet all day. She went to the vet 3 times while we had her. and the last time, the vet said she had hypoglocemia or something congenital with her liver. neither were contagious

Ok, I didn't mean to start anything. Like I said I did not know her situation. But now that I do know the situation, I do not believe she should get another puppy right now.

It sounds like the decision has already been made and all of your valid points are moot.

I, too, think it's too early and I'm really concerned about the financial stuff.

Just my 2 cents.

Edit to add:

Does Roxy have all of her vacines to make sure she's not exposed to whatever Tink had if it was contagious?

[Flatcoatluver]

If for sure you are getting this puppy, have you and your mom considered pet insurence??

[Uabassoon]

Maybe you could spend more time with Roxy, work on her and maybe convince your parents to let her be inside with you. It's sad that you didn't have enough money to take Tink to the vet, you have a dog that lives outside on a chain yet you still want another dog

I agree...

[buttercup132]

u all have some points but now your just getting mad at her and its gonna become a big fight its her decision some people need to get another pet right away and some cant even bare to get another pet everyone is different she has said many times she now has the money and will be saving for a month and a half if she dosent have enough money then she dosent....just leave it at that or it will become a big fight she asked for opinions not b*tching wich is what some of your are doing thats all im gonna say

WHAT?! She lives on a chain?! I didn't know that! You definetly don't need another dog if the one you have now has to live outside ... you need to pay more attention to her.

[CathyBogart]

This disgusts me. You really need to look at the well-being of the dog you DO have before you start looking at adding another to your household.

Ditto

I try to stay out of threads like this but I just wanted to say that I agree. Wanting another dog so soon is not what bothers me, it's the fact that poor Roxy still lives outside on a chain and she doesn't seem to care about improving that, and not taking Tink to the vet when she was obviously very ill.

[slleipnir]

I honestly don't think anyone is going to change her mind in this situation. If she wants a puppy, she is going to get it no matter what you say...

I don't see why your other dog needs to live outside though...? Did Tink live outside? Then why is this dog...
