Are you serious? You honestly think no one on this board has ever been on one income with two children? There are folks on here, I'm sure with NO income, with four children, etc. There's are folks on here who have at times been homeless.

A dog is a luxury. If you cannot afford to care for a pet properly, don't get one. And keeping a pet contained safely so that it cannot harm itself or other animals or humans is most definately a big part of that responsibility.

I know I have had financial stuggles and hard times in the past. It NEVER prevented me from taking care of my pets. I commited to them, and caring for them is my responsibility and no one else's.

You asked people for free fencing, and it seems to me you are implying that it is somehow other people's fault your dog was killed ... because they did not supply you with free fencing quickly enough. I find that absurd. You didn't have to fence your entire yard all at once. There were many, many options your family could have done instead of doing nothing at all while waiting for someone to supply you with free fencing. An X pen, fencing only a small corner to begin with, a tie out, a walk on a $2 leash.
