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.

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...

kari although I agree the thread has its ugly parts, for the most I think people are genuinely concerned for Roxy and Briana, when emotions run high sometimes it just does not come out the right way, i think keeping the thread alive is important, because I believe Briana will take in some of it and realise that what is being said on the most part is right and only out of pure concern for Roxy's welfare and the future pup, I hope I do not offend, my main goal is only to do all of the above , I certainly do not mean to judge harshly but there really are some major issues here that need addressing IMO.

I sent you a PM.

I said I wouldn't post again and that I just wanted this thread to drop off the board, But i just want to say this. I have messaged Karen and asked her to lock this thread.

Please, anyone who is tired of reading this, message Karen and ask her to lock the thread.

[carole]

Why on earth do you want to delete the thread, to me it is like the old ostrich burying its head in the sand, of course people should refrain from being impolite, but honestly I am hoping through reading all these replies some of it will actually make sense and Briana may reconsider some things, if you close it there is no possible chance of that even happening., I guess I am just ever hopeful, but if this thread is going to continue on in a non-productive manner then I reluctanly agree it should be deleted, as it is serving no real purpose except to cause more hurt, and doing more harm than good.

I said lock, not delete. Most people have expressed their opinions and there is no where else for the thread to go, but downhill.

[K9soul]

It's all been said and said again. Good points were made and some well thought out posts were made, but now a lot of it is just getting to pettiness and repetitiveness. Believe me I understand how emotional a situation this is and how distressing for many here, but what ends up happening is those petty or nasty posts end up overshadowing the ones that MIGHT have been listened to. More than likely in this situation they would not, but there's always that "might" factor.

Really my post in General awhile back says it best as to how I feel in these situations: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=77230

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.
