I understand what you are saying. Hey, I get very upset when people give up their dogs for stupid reasons (for 'good' reasons, that's a different story) But I did something before that now I hate myself for it.

Last year, I brought a dog home form a BYB. I didn't know she was BYB until I found out what one was. She lied about everything, telling us the dog was 3 months old (he was already huge and obviously previously owned.) We bought the dog on impulse, putting this idea in our minds that he was the right dog for us. Huge mistake. We brought him to the SPCA a day later. I hate myself for doing this. It sort of makes me a hypocrite, doesn't it? But then I learned research and patience are key to getting the right pet for you. It helped me find the right pet: Mickey. The reason I hate seeing people do the mistake I made, is because I know I was one of those people who don't think before they act. I'm surprised no one had actually told me off or given me a hard time about what I did. But in a way I believe I helped save that dog. Staying in that tiny cage in the country, in a cold shed is tortue. He was adorable and gentle, I'm sure he got adopted right away. It's just I felt so guilty for what I did now when I hear people gave away their dogs because he wasn't right for them makes me mad. Maybe it makes me mad at myself I don't know. Does this make any sense? I don't even know, I think I lost myself back there...
