Chewy, I need elp on the most important decision ever

[lovemyshiba]

I have just put a call in to Mr. Jones--I would like to see if he could bend on the price at all, or work anything out. I know he does private training, and travels, so maybe there's a little hope. He is to get back to me this evening sometime.

Maybe we could start a Pet Talk "Chewy Fund", and help get him rehabilitated

Ok this is what he said. Chewy is far advanced Agression. He might be able to help him, he has worked miracles. Its $350 and an hour and half drive to visit him. He said that Chewy needs to be kept in a crate and on a leash at my side at all times. We can't allow him to bite anyone so we can't give him opertunities. And yes, if something else comes up before this friday we WILL do it.

Did that explain it better?

Ash

Not really. It just says that he can't not do anything over the phone, and it sounds like he is giving you ideas to keep everyone until he could evaluate the dog in person. But I guess you aren't going to give hime that chance.

I don't want him living with 20 other dogs, no offense to Mike or Molly, I love them and everythign they do and I can not get over the fact they have taken in 20 dogs, it still shocks me someone has that many dogs in 1 house. I do hope they didn't take any offense to anythign I have said and I have pmed them and everything and we have talked about it in pm's.

Ash

Here it is.
I also said I wouldn't post here again, but I can't help myself. i'd really like to know what's going on here. Why kill the darn dog when there are excellent options? I JUST don't get it.

[lovemyshiba]

Yes, Ash, your second explanation was better--I know how it is when you try to type everything too fast--it makes no sense.
I did not call Mr. Jones to second-guess you, I just wanted to see if he could help. The owner of the pet store is very good friends with him, and maybe she could talk to him too. At very least, maybe he would take Chewy, work with him, evaluate him, and work a MIRACLE with him!!!!!

I also called him because my 2 monsters are in need of some obedience, and he does that too!!

Thank you for the offer hopefully we will be able to make the pay ments some how, if we do it. The only reson why I'm not saying yes lets do it is because he said Chewy sounds like he is far advanced agressive, he seems like a great trainer though.

Why thank you. I would just like to say I will be back in a couple of weeks to tell you all what happened, I might lurk but I will not be posting. Thank you Emily for your help, you have been so wonderful, and if you have any new info please call me. Thanl you for everyone else who has suported me and may not any more, but thats your choice. I need to clear my mind, think about what the trainers have said, think about what all of you have said and if I don't post here any more I will atleast come back and tell you all what we have done and hat has happend.

Again, Thank you,
Ash

Ash, can you pm me and give me ALL of Chewy's details (age, breed, size,)--as well as any incidents he has had--I would like to call the woman at the pet store, as she is his friend, and see if she can't talk to him also, and maybe he can do something. She is also VERY interested in what happens with Chewy, she is such a great person, she told me to let her know what happens.

Tonya,

Trust me...he wouldn't have the chance. There would be a totally tight leash on him until he learned, but it obviously doesn't matter, she's going to kill him regardless of what anyone on here says...that's been made abundantly clear, then she's going to go out and get a Dobie, and when she can't handle it then what will happen to that poor dog. I'm sorry I'm being harsh, but, that's the way I see it. Chewy gets sacrificed for a new dog.

He probably just wants you to keep Chewy crated and on leash until the problem is fixed so no one will be in danger. Does John Jones rescue dogs also or know anyone who could foster Chewy while John works with him?

OK, I did a quick search on the issue of Chewy. I mistyped, I meant to say Aspen and Misty, not Amy and whoever I typed.

I read about 30 posts where you had some 'trauma' with your pets...and I again ask the same question...weren't you the one that said you had to put Chewy down before? From the BRIEF reading of the posts, it seems in December, you were JUST ABOUT to do it, then, the 'meds' started to work. Everyone got all upset. This seems to be identical to that situation.

Weren't you the one that just had to get rid of one dog...then days later, you were adopting another? Or, am I confusing you with someone else???? It seems like you have had NUMEROUS opportunities from people to get Chewy some help. Whether Chewy can be helped or not, it doesn't appear you are able to bring that about.

We have had way too many instances of people mistating the truth for anyone to just accept it....I just think you MIGHT not be telling the whole truth...and I think that is mean, and sick.

[Aspen and Misty]

Far from it Molly. FYI, the person we were going to be getting the Dobie from is not giving her up any more and the soonest the rescues will have any is in about 4 months. So either way ti wil be 4 months till I got a dog. And I love Chewy don't you ever EVER say that again, he is NOT getting sacraficed for a new dog thats bull crap.

I would like you all who are to stop talking crap about me now, thank you.

Ash, I couldn't pm you back, because your box is full
I am glad to hear you are going for the evaluation, when you come here, I would love to meet you and Chewy.
And, about your number, I would NEVER EVER EVER do that.

[Cataholic]

Yup, I am now convinced of it...we are once again being put on.

He may but I am not positive. I know the woman who owns the pet store does, but she has a sick labbie right now, and isn't taking any new ones just yet.
I am sure I can locate some fosters--our PAWS program uses fosters, they may be able to point us in the right direction.
