Sometimes, Lute/Lexie, people get upset when they read of situations where it seems that the dogs people bring in don't work out. No one here wants to think of any dog as disposable! So if you read anger in any posts here, please understand that it is because our loving members remembered the story about Emmy and they are probably worrying that you are considering adding another dog now. There is no way we can know your whole story. We just have to go by what you tell us and the written word is not always the best way to communicate, is it? It is easily misunderstood. I just hope that if you choose to add a new dog to your home that you have all the bases covered this time. Puppies are very time consuming and destructive, as you know, I'm sure! Are your parents in agreement that you get a puppy or a rescue dog, and will they allow it to be inside?

I read that you just got a Cockatiel. Sounds like your hands will be very full if you add a dog to the mix.

I wish the very best for your new additions.
