Well...

[CagneyDog]

I'm 13...I have school! Do you expect me to spend 5 hours with her? I have clarinet practice, homework, and tons of other things to do! I give her at least an hour a day!!!

EXACTLY WHY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE HER. If you don't have time, do her a favour and give her to someone that does! Give her a treat and a hug when you come home isn't enough! I also don't believe you, I KNOW Tink got more attention than that.

Roxyluvsme13 and I, as well as other, have spoken in chat before and have gone over things in this thread over and over, however, it seems to go in one ear and out the other. I don't think anything will be changed in this situation because of it, unfortunately.

scince its not gonna change what shes doing can we please STOP FIGHTING! cuz i like you guys and we are gonna end up all hating each other i know your all goin to prly ignore this but as she said shes leaving pt at least for a while so lets just drop it she going, and i didint mean to bring glacier into this i was just trying to make a point(but of course this is gonna make another argument...)

Well it wasn't a very good point.

So your life is too busy to dedicate more than an hour to playing and interacting with the dog you have right now, but you want to get another puppy??

You will need to give a new puppy almost ALL of your attention throughout the day toilet training and house training it!! If you are "too busy" with school to give less-than-adequate attention to the dog you already have, then you have no business getting a new puppy!

My mom takes care of the puppy during the day...

r u trying to make it worse? are you trying to keep fighting?
seriously did you have to make that stupid little point?

[PrinceBrewJulia]

So why not use the time you were going to use on the new pup to house-break Roxy...

But she doesn't take care of the dog you already have?? Taking care of Roxy SHOULD NOT be YOUR sole responsibility. As you said, you're only 13! Taking care of Roxy should be and IS your MOM'S responsibility.

But now what you're telling me is that your mom will dedicate her time house training a new puppy but won't house train the one she already has??

Like I said my mom will never let Roxy in the house...she always makes up an excuse....

Why can't she take care of Roxy during the day instead? If she has the time to help train a puppy she has the time to help train Roxy.

Then she needs to do the right thing for Roxy and give her to a home where she will get the attention and love she deserves.

Then give her to someone who will care about her.

Roxy would grieve herself to death, if we put her in another home...nobody wanted her! they didnt..she was left at the shelter to DIE...

A humane society should solve that. Or any other RESCUE (not shelter) for that matter. Rescues are no-kill. They will find her a home. And if they can't, she will stay INSIDE with a foster family forever.

[CagneyDog]

I don't believe a dog would be unhappy with getting attention.

If you care about her enough to not let her "rot away" in a shelter, then you should care about her enough to tell your mom to work with her or give her to another home. Period. You are NOT being fair to Roxy. Personally I think risking letting her "rot away" in a shelter would be in her favor because I'm sure someone would pick her up no problem.
