Thinking Of Selling Daisy

[Sevaede]

I agree that rehoming Daisy would be in her interest.

Keeping your children and your pup seperated aren't going to do anything about their "fears" (so to speak?), though.

Time Out, Gang!

Dunno if any one's noticed ... but Mr. Lewis hasn't squeezed a word in here since 8:32 AM - Saturday Morning.

We might have misplaced the Audience.

Maybe take a few DEEP Breaths or a chill pill; and let him slip a word or two in here.

He got the dog for protection. She obviously isn't doing her job because she has no family to protect. Everyone on PT's dogs would protect them cause they are all loved and have a family a REAL family. And since he has no time to train her to protect like a actual guard dog she just isn't doing what he bought her for. I'm not saying he is for sure but I agree it obviously sounds like she is going to be bred. Please dont ever get another dog in your life and lets hope your kids grow up and have a better understanding of dogs and dont make the same mistake you have..

As far as not being here it was surely not because of what any of u said i have been sleeping. I dont need the money i make plenty of money in the coal mines, im sorry but to me a dog is still just a dog. i will miss Daisy very much if i do decide to sell her to my b i l. As far as her not getting attention you dont really know that she does get attention she isnt in a small cage 24\7. i get her out and take her on walks and play with her and i do love her, and as far as my kids they are way more important than any dog. the only way i would let her go is to my brother in law because i know he will take good care of her as he does his and if he wants to breed her that will be up to him. But honestly i could care less about the $600 i am getting for her that doesnt matter to me, but he will be the only person to get her i can tell u that. The reason i posted this is to see if any of you knew a way i could train her with what limited time i have, and its not a cop out its just the way it is.

Any time someone starts out with "it's not the money", believe me, it IS
the money, period.Bye Tim, hope you have a good life & I do hope Daisy
has a better one.

Tim i am very sorry for ever sticking up for you! I am also deeply sorry for your dog! this is utterly ridiculous, aparently you join PT because you loved her, and all your showing now is discusting to me.
Why on earth would you purposely add to the millions of dogs that are in shelters every year when its SIMPLE to spend a few more bucks on her to fix it. You aparently dont care for her like you say you do otherwise you would never give her to someone who you know prospectively would breed her.
Im sorry if i get yelled at for this or banned or whatever, but you make a sorry excuse for a dog owner, and i deeply feel you make a sorry excuse for a human as well!
Because of people like you gives the rest of us a harder time to do things with our pets or move places with them ect,
if you have so much damn time to walk her, im pretty sure you can find time to train her.
You discust me!
(again i really dont care how much trouble i get in from anyone here when i say these things)

i get her out and take her on walks and play with her and i do love her

Ok, so, you walk her, you play with her and you love her.... Training has to fit in somewhere. What would another 15 minutes out of your day to do some basic training hurt????

[chocolatepuppy]

im sorry but to me a dog is still just a dog
if he wants to breed her that will be up to him.

poor Daisy

m sorry but to me a dog is still just a dog.

Just a dog???? There's the problem

I knew when I saw the title of this thread it was a mistake coming in here.

Guess you got the attention you wanted. Get Daisy to a rescue and it would probably be a good idea if you never got a dog again. You don't deserve to own one.

Well, if she goes to your brother in law, I'd be willing to bet money that he'll breed her. Real nice life to give a dog. And if you think "dogs are just dogs" then do the poor dogs (or any animal, for that matter) a HUGE favor and don't ever get any more animals. If your kids are so important to you, why did you even get a dog in the first place? You're teaching your kids that animals are disposable, like pieces of property, and they aren't. How about teaching your kids about love and responsibility? And if you want protection, be a man and go about it yourself. Honestly, I don't even know why you came back if you don't want to listen to us. Poor dog. I really feel badly for her. She doesn't deserve what you've done to her or her doomed future.

Tim thankyou for most likely adding to the already huge animal over population... good work.

Goodluck Daisy .

And if you think "dogs are just dogs" then do the poor dogs

I know this is beating a dead horse but this reminds me of the commercial where the woman is looking for the perfect purple color and her husband says its "just" a pillow (or whatever) and she looks at him and he says "well your JUST a man" and he says "oh boy".

seriously Tim - most training sessions are supposed to be short anyway b/c the dog only has the mentality of a 2 year old.
Racking brain here - but I know when my dog (100 pound Golden) gets around kids or even small dogs I say "GENTLE" or "EASY" some might think its b/c she is going to eat them but it is b/c I don't want her to get excited and knock them over/down.
If you have internet access then you have the world at your finger tips on dog training. Did you try GOOGLING dog training articles
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ining+articles
there I just did it for you - and if you would have taken the time to do THAT when you posted HERE you probably would have a lot less headache and hard feelings toward us.
And I'm with everyone else that if you DO sell her to your brother in law - PLEASE spay her first - altho I wonder if he would even want her then. Do not add more to the over population of unwanted animals.
Please.
I do respect the different mentalities of different states and regions of interest. Where I live there are people with just as different views on dog/pet responsibilites just like other places. It may be just as foreign to those areas to allow the dog/pet in the house as it is to US to NOT allow it in the house.
I respect the differing mentalities but I don't agree with it - and that's fine.
