Well...

[PJ's Mom]

I'm 13...I have school! Do you expect me to spend 5 hours with her? I have clarinet practice, homework, and tons of other things to do! I give her at least an hour a day!!!

An hour? That's all?

How would you like it if your family kept you chained up without any interaction or attention and only spoke to you for an hour a day? Would that be good enough for you?

And you want a puppy? I guess you started this thread to get some attention even though you won't listen to us. Looks like you got more than enough attention.

Well maybe you should just ask Karen to lock this thread, then it will be over and done with.
Then when/if you get a new dog you can post about the names then

Shes quiting for attention

Now come on you don't honestly know that. I know we're all upset at the fact she wants another puppy when she has a dog chained outside who doesn't get the attention it deserves, but honestly these things really aren't her fault, she's only 13 and she doesn't really know full responsibility yet. It's her mom I'm angry at. Her mom, putting this responsibility on her 13 year old daughter!

I'm sure she didn't mean to start this huge conversation and get everyone angry, and she's probably embarassed. But I'm sure she's not quitting just for attention.

[CagneyDog]

Well then why would she post that she was leaving?

She may be 13 but she should know that you can't treat animals like that.

No I'm not...I'm quitting because you people cant accept the fact that Roxy is happy and well taken care for for an outside dog...She has it alot better than other dogs

[QUOTE=Roxyluvsme13]Roxy is happy and well taken care for for an outside dog..[QUOTE]

"for for an outside dog"
What is that supposed to mean, do inside and outside dogs have different standards?? You give her food, water and an hour of your time, thats all that outside dogs need? Dogs should be a member of the family and treated like so, she should be well taken care of period.

And yes there are dogs out there starving and dying on the streets, Roxy is well fed and has a place to sleep but I really don't think its enough There are MANY MANY dogs that are in a lot better situation than she is in...

If Briana is an "attention hog," she most certainly isn't the only one. This thread has turned ugly, and, is no longer about educating or advising. It's simply arguing and ugliness, and, I think anna's suggestion is the best one that has been given here of late. I try hard to not read threads like this, but, I think human nature draws me into reading it, kinda like rubbernecking at an accident on the highway, which I usually don't do, either. Call it morbid curiosity, because I know all I'll find in here is ugliness. I have been trying really hard to not say anything, but, I will say that these threads bring out the worst in people here, and, I always am saddened by some of the responses by normally polite, helpful individuals. I truly think the thread is dead and needs to be closed.

While I understand where you are coming from, I think keeping this thread open is important. There are some here who are arguing IMO and some who are still advising her. If she is anything like me at 13 she is stubborn and does not want to have to say she is wrong. She is probably taking all of this in, and I think it will really sink in later (hopefully before she goes to look at those puppies). Somehow I think she'll have a moment with Roxy where she'll realize that Roxy could be better off, and that she needs to provide better for her. I do not think she should give Roxy away unless if she realizes that she can't provide for her. But I truly think this is going to get to her. Just my 2 cents.
