"I literally don't have the time to spend crate training her..."

But you do have the time to post 15+ times on Pet Talk per day? You mentioned that Roxy's weight is erratic, as well as her teeth & overall health being poor. I'm just the type that gets easily concerned when, one minute you act like there is a HUGE problem here and people are pouring out 10 pages of information & answers for you, spending tons of time... then the next minute it is down-played as nothing, and you're doing nothing wrong, and your Mom is the only one to blame.

"I'm tired of the kibble crap. It's gross and it's destroying my babies."

Please print this out and put it on the fridge or something for your Mom: http://dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=costfactors

I'm done with this. I hope you are trying, at least. You aren't a child, honestly, I was taking care of Gonzo as a puppy when I was 13... that includes paying for premium kibble, even if I did not have to, because I earned money. And you *should* be able to change some things about how YOUR pets are kept. You are 4 years away from being an adult. Honestly. If you choose to acquire more Bettas or spawn them, I can't promise that won't basically make me sick.

Honestly guys, you all know my stance on this issue but really, give it a rest. Bri knows that there is an issue with Roxy and her other pets, she has been told that a million times. It's now up to her to change it, nothing we can do over the internet will be able to help that. Instead of trying to drill the same facts into her head over and over again lets put that past and either A) don't look at the threads if it bothers you or B) Reply in a postive manner. Is it right whats going on? No, but repeating the same "Roxy lives outside stuff" is getting tiring.

Ditto. Honestly guys, haven't we been down this road before? Why oh why do we keep having to do this? Remember, she's 13 years old. Not everyone matures at the same rate...I can honestly say I was not mature enough at all to take care of an amimal at 13. I just wanted to go hang out with my friends and act cool. Maturity comes with time, and everyone's different. So give it a rest already, she's heard all the arguments.

Beautiful fish, by the way

She always says Roxy is meant to be an outside dog, she has fleas and she stinks.

I think its her Mum we should be advising................

I already said nothing's going to change my mom's mind, and I don't see why nobody gets that through their head. If you want to tell my mom all this stuff then that's fine with me, but I've done everything I possibly can.
