Sarah's getting rid of Max :-(

Well, people's upbringings, lives, and, situations are all so different, they are going to view certain decisions or situations a certain way. One thing I've learned (and, I've probably said this already in Pet Talk somewhere) is that you can't control what others say or do, but, you can control how you react to them. I was just trying to empathize somewhat. This is just one of those threads that can very easily turn ugly, and, I like to try to put some positivity out there. I mean, I think it's a crappy reason to rehome a pet, too, but, it's not Sarah's decision. I probably wouldn't bite my tongue if I could speak directly to her dad, though.

Kari, you always know what to say. I agree with you *partly*. I know she is 13-15 years of and has limitations on decisions made in her parents house BUT I think Sarah should at least attempt to tell her parents about the many medications, shots, ect out there that can control dog shedding and allergies. Trust me, Sarah, I have been in your situation, many a time, about pets and strays and other things. Sadly, limitations had to overule that.

I did say that, too. I think she should at least show her dad this thread, it can't hurt!

See that's what I mean, you ALWAYS know what to say.

Not hardly! But, thank you! (read my signature about where happiness comes from, trust me...i've made many, many bad calls and will continue to do so, i'm sure!)

Thanks, Kari, you make and made everything better

Wow. That's a lot to say! Thank you! I'm embarrassed, now, it was just my intention to share my thoughts on it, not hijack the whole thread. But, if it helped keep the thread not so ugly, then I'm glad I did it. Hope it lasts!

I agree, Kari, you always word everything well and know what to say!

Oh, and btw, I don't recommend shots for your dad. Usually shots are given every day and the shots contain what you are allergic to. It makes your allergies worse for about a year, the point of doing it is, it will make your allergies go away forever. Although, only people with horrible allergies choose to go with shots. But medication usually works!
