Ok, here's how I see the situation.
Foam got Ozzy, to love, to care for, to raise as her pet..........same reasons anyone would have to get a pet. Unfortunately, I feel she and her family didn't think deeply enough about their decision when they got him. As it often happens, when you don't think deeply enough before making such big decisions, the outcome turns out for the worst.
I know Foam didn't want this to happen, but unfortunately, it did happen. It could definitely be the result of a decision that was not well thought out, ahead of time.
Now, in the current situation, Ozzy is a growing and active pup who needs LOTS of attention. His family should have known ahead of time that when pups grow, they need more attention and time. They now realize they DON'T have enough time for this puppy. They cannot give him the time and attention he needs and deserves. If they keep him, while acknowledging the fact that they're not going to give him enough time, I feel that is a MORE selfish thing to do, than to return him to his breeder. Considering he will now go to a new home where he will get enough attention, I feel they have made the best decision, in the best interest of Ozzy. No, they shouldn't have gotten Ozzy if they weren't going to have the time for him, but now that they did, I do feel the best decision they could make is to rehome him. Its a better decision to give him to someone else who will have time for him, than to keep him and let him suffer from boredom, or sadness.
Yes we all know that pets are a big responsibilty........a responsibility that isn't to be taken lightly. I know Foam knows that too, and I'm sure this will be a lesson for her to take along with her in life. What's happened has happened. It is sad, it is unfortunate, and I wish the best for Ozzy in his future life. Still, there is no reason to put someone who is already feeling so down, in an even worse situation by saying her parents raised her to be a very selfish girl, etc. Please don't get so personal. I do agree with you all, but it would be nice if a few of you could state certain things in a more appropriate, and less hurtful way. I hate to see people hurt others and unfortunately, some of you are getting very hurtful.![]()
