Because most people in Kelowna are worthless when it comes to adopting animals that are old or sick or aggressive. Leather is almost ten years old, she has malignant cancer, a high chance of getting more tumors, needs medication for her boredom disorder/compulsive biting disorder, she needs to have her special $50 dog food that copes with her allergies and weight, she has a bad leg so she limps quite bit (I've been working with it, it's getting better !!!) She doesn't get along with other dogs (unless they are the dogs she's grown up with) she bites people, she was recently abused by children in the home that I used to call mine and so now she's less tolerant of them and has bitten them, she barks which can be a problem to some, she knows how to open door handles, she can open cupboards, she eats from the garbage can and scatters garbage throughout the house, she needs atleast a seven foot high fence, she needs a fridge with a lock otherwise she will open it and help herself litterally to everything, she only listens to commands from myself or my stepmom, and I think that about rounds it up. She's only got a couple more years left, maybe less since she has cancer, I want her to be happy in the home that she loves and carries the people that she loves in it. She's my baby, and if my stepmom ever had to give her up because if her barking habit, I would just die. And so would she. But we don't have to worry about that if we have the water bottle. That is my whole point. It saves her more than anything. Some here my call showing a dog a water bottle abuse, I call it showing her love in a way she wouldn't comprehend.
