problem with the pups

[stace1319]

it was an accidental breeding and yes, it was just as much my fault as my brothers. When he moved back in with my mom, I didn't know taylor (the mother dog) was there. When I pulled up I let harley out and taylor came out of the building. they went around the corner and when it dawned on me what could be happening behind my back, it was too late. Apparently harley wasn't the only one to breed with her though. My mom doesn't even want taylor there let alone the pups. I live too far away to clean up after them all the time. I am going to get a coller for reno this weekend so hopefully she wont give him away. I'm really worried

PS And about the school thing, she just thinks it a waste of time and gas money to drive all the way to the school I go to. I have to drive an hour to get there. I'm going for my associates in equine studies (horse program) and it is the only thing i want to do with my life. I want to be a horse trainer/ riding instructor and run my own theraputic riding program. but everytime I try to tell her anything about it she just says all these negitive things about it and says I'm just wasting my time.

I see you are in west Virginia, if your mom gets caught she will be in a world of trouble!!!

Under 7 weeks old without its dam or queen is illegal where you are.

i had to take my RB Cody at 4 weeks. It wasn't planned, but his mom's owners had a severe family emergency and had to leave in a hurry, to another state.

In the beginning, I socialized him like crazy. Of course, being so tiny and fuzzy and adorable, if I was just standing with him on the front lawn, people stopped cars to see him.

I have no idea, seriously, what happened. I walked him every day (when he was older), took him everywhere. He wound up only liking a few people, specifically those he met early on. To us, he was an angel.

I hope the new owners socialize, continuously. Make sure you have a piece of smelly blanket or toy, because thankfully, that helped Cody to stop whining within a day.

I'm so sorry you're not getting parental support. Stories like this, make me miss my mom and dad even more. You sound so compassionate and hardworking. I know you'll be awesome when you get your degree.

I'm also very sad that you aren't getting support for going to school. Keep plowing forward and it will pay off for you some day. Come to Pet Talk and we'll give you some great support!!
