Well...

Briana I just want to say if anything I have said has offended you or hurt you I am truely sorry and it was not my intention at all to do so, I really just want you to think long and hard about your decision, and the pros and cons, and I wish you well in whatever you decide, and I know your heart still hurts and is missing Tinks,and maybe you think having the new pup will help that all go away, it will help for sure, but only time will help heal your hurt.

I wasn't going to respond anymore for fear that I have offended someone and if I did, I, too apologize.

I remember what I was like when I was 13. Once I made my mind up, that's it. There was no changing it. (Heck, who am I kidding, I'm STILL like that.) Just, try to remember that we are concerned for you, and your ENTIRE situation, Roxy included. I know as a teenager, it's hard to take the advice of other people but we've already been down the road you're traveling. We really do want what's best for you. It may not have appeared that way in this thread, but I feel in my heart that PTers are genuinly good people.

Please don't leave PT, and also don't rush to make any big decisions. We'll still be here either way.

Good luck!

Well this is coming from a 13 year old (well almost, my birthday is tommorow) I know that I can be stubborn at times and I do not want to be proven wrong. I am going to say 1 thing: You can still get a puppy but wait a little longer, maybe in spring or summer so you can be home with it all day. Maybe in that time you can do more research, work with Roxy a bit, and save a little more money. I do not intend for this to start an argument again.

Oh, that picture. I understand the confusion now. That was Sundin, who is not yet my dog, but will be arriving on Sunday. My friend who owns him right now does keep his sled dogs on chains. That picture was taken in his yard, not mine. Most racing kennels keep their dogs in that manner. B. is a serious long distance racing musher. His dogs get lots of time off their chains and he has a full time handler who is with his dogs all day--that's her job in exchange for free rent--so they get lots of attention. My dogs aren't chained and Sundin won't be after he arrives.
