    My question is...why would they get two dogs in the first place?!? They have 8 kids to take care of. Maybe when the kids get older and can help take care of them more. These are huge dogs and way too big for the little ones to help care for at this time in their lives. It is best for the dogs that they went back to the breeder.

    I thought the EXACT same thing when I watched the episode when they got them. But as others have said, it was for the show. This show has ruined so many things for this family. I hope it hasn't ruined the children.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I saw this report on tv this past week. The dogs were being taken away as the kids all watched the truck leave. The kids were supposedly yelling goodbye to the dogs and saying that Mommy didn't want them, or something like that. It was one of the most ridiculous and saddest things I've ever seen.

    The reporter said Jon couldn't take the dogs where he was living so the breeder took them back. They made it sound like Jon really cared. If he cared so much, why didn't he make arrangements to live in a place where he could have the dogs?

    When will the day come when neither of them have the time to take care of the kids and somebody comes to take them away?

    I'm amazed at the exploitation that is going on with these kids. Now, their pets are being sent back. Enough is enough!! I can't take another minute of Jon and Kate!!!!!


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    So many of the episodes were planned to generate viewers. Who wouldn't want to watch an episode where they visited a breeder and came home with two puppies? These puppies weren't bought for Jon or Kate or the kids IMHO but it was a TLC idea for ratings.

    Yes the kids will bear the brunt of all of this mess even though Kate is always saying things like "this house is for the kids" or "we are doing this for the kids." The other day I was watching the evening news and there was a film clip of Kate on *The View.* I hate The View so I would have never seen this if it wasn't for the news clip. Someone asked her the question "why do you still wear your wedding ring?" Her answer: "For the kids." AWWW c'mon! Does she really think that six 5 year olds really notice, or care about, rings? It just seemed to me to be really a stretch and I thought it was another lame attempt to make her appear to be "the perfect mother" which she isn't. I realize this sounds like I am judging her and that is probably wrong, and I also realize that none of us who are mothers are perfect, but her answer just sort of struck me as so phony. *sigh*

    Keep the dogs, crate up the kids and send them to Angelina Jolie.

    I saw a clip on some where the kids were chasing the dogs and smacking them on the rump. I was waiting for the dog to turn on them, but, no dice....

    Sorry, but those kids are going to be the next 'bad apples' of reality TV.

    ----------------------

    Another clip showed on of the twins ragging on K about dad.


    The 'ring' story is funny.

    IF she thinks that the 'tooth fairy/monster dust/Santa and the chimney" stories still work with this set of kids?

    I wish I had a time masheen to go into the future and see what these kids are going to be in about 7 years.

    I don't watch the show enough anymore to even see the dogs much..I've seen them running around in the couple of episodes I've seen lately...kate is too much of a control neat freak to want to have dogs around....and yes, if Jon really cared about them or the kids for that matter, he wouldn't have an apartment in the big city...he would get a house with a backyard nearby.....Yes, they were put there strictly for ratings...but I just hope whoever gets them gets them to love, and not because they were once Jon and Kate's dogs.....and so the exploitation continues.

    I feel that getting rid of the dogs taught only one lesson to those kids - that it's okay for there to be such a thing as "disposable pets".

    Kind of like a disposable Dad and a part time Mom. I sure hope that J & K have lots of bucks put away for counseling for those kids, because they're sure going to need it.

    I never watch the show, but you don't even need to, to be aware of what's happening, and what a dysfunctional family that they are.

    What a shame that it's the kids that are getting so screwed up by this exploitation for the sake of $$$$$$$.

    Yes that was a huge mistake on their part. How they thought they would have time to care for 2 puppies in addition to 8 small children is beyond me. I wonder if the dogs were given to them as opposed to them paying for the dogs?
