Cruel People!!

[MariaM]

Lol everyone!! I don't think it would be outside all the time, or even most of the time! Just want to make my point clear lol As my teacher would say, clear as mud.

[My Peanuts]

Maria, I really hope that you can get a puppy. That being said, please make sure that the dog will be an indoor dog and that your mom wants the dog before getting your hopes up. If your pup is outside most of the time or even a large portion of the time, then it could cause significant problems. If that's the case, then the puppies might be better off being put in a shelter. I know you were saying that the dog MIGHT not be outside that much, but that is a big "MIGHT." My neighbor used to keep their dog outside, but it was truly horrible. We had to watch her freeze in the winter and almost have heat stroke in the summer. I hate to even think about it. Then one night she, oops disappeared! I'm happy to tell you that she went to a no kill shelter and was placed in a good home after that. She deserved it and I’m glad I could help her, if you know what I mean.

I would never, ever leave a dog to suffer! :O NEVER!

But I have to tell you all the news!!! Ok. Turns out, the father went to the SPCA. I know its sad, but hopefully he will get a good home where he is loved. They are keeping 2 puppies. THere are 4 other puppies, all male, 2 black, 2 yellow. One of the yellow is fulffier though. I figured they'd be mixed because not many people would drop off purebreds. My dad and mom thought they might be too big (travel wise) and the person said they dad was pretty big. BUT we ARE going to look at them today!!! (hopefully)

Do you want me to take pictures? That was you could try to decipher what they're mixed with. It might be pretty hard though because I think they are quite young. The other catch is, I don't think my mom is really ready to have a puppy. But she might be because she has known I wanted a puppy all my life. We started talking serisouly last year though. Well...wish me luck!

I'm sorry Maria but I don't think you're thinking this all the way through. You are still in school right? The poor dog would be outside and alone all day long (doubt your Mom would be spending time talking and playing with a puppy). What happens when the puppy starts crying and howling when left in the basement at night I admire your noble and caring attitude but I'm more concerned with the poor puppy at this point, I really don't intend to sound mean

[guster girl]

Well, based on what's been said, a puppy doesn't sound like the best idea. But, as far as the puppy howling and crying at night.... that's normal. Finn cried for two weeks at night. We just ignored him. Anyway, thought I'd say that.

[lbaker]

you know it's normal GG and I know it's normal but I wonder if MariaM's mom would be as understanding and patient, that's all.

[guster girl]

Ah, I see.....I misunderstood the point you were trying to make.

[MariaM]

lbaker: Don't worry, you don't sound mean. I take no offense. I'm sure all of us are more concerned with puppies than ourselves. But, Yes, I am in school. Don't worry, we have DEFINATELY thought of my mother being with it all day (or it being by itself) BUT DON'T WORRY. lol. We would never get a puppy if my mom didn't like it. And about the howling. I would tell her it is normal, and she might complain at first (most likely) but if she did like the puppy, I'm sure it would stop (the complaining and howling lol)

countrycowgirl:im sure my mom would really like the lab puppies but she might not show it! And if we got one, I'm SURE she would like it, then love it. I really hope we do get a dog though.

Now my own news. We are most likely not getting a labrador We have talked it through and my mom and dad have decided that it would be too big. I don't think so, but I'm ok with it because it's not like I had my heart set on one kind of dog. (or one set of puppies, etc.)

BUT there are these other puppies that should be ready to go... May 6-12. There is ONE brown one, the ONLY one my mom likes. It MIGHT be spoken for. There are 3 other black ones. (some white, some brown etc.)

I will hopefully have pictures for the next post! We haven't gone to see the labs yet though. I think we will look at them but most likely not get one.

[MariaM]

WoW! Do I have so much to report!! Well, I forgot to put the pictures up earlier. I will put them up now though. Well, we went to Yorkton for a Good Friday Service and then we went to go look at the labrador puppies. There are 6. 3 black, 2 yellow and one...golden colored. They are taking the only female, it is black. There are 2 other blacks. Then they are keeping one yellow one too. There is a really odd one, we don't think it is from the same litter. It is bigger, harrier and goldener. AND there is ONE more yellow one...the one my mom liked She held it too...SUCKER! Lol. I have pictures!

[guster girl]

My Finn is a yellow lab, but, very golden in color! They called it red fox. I hope to see photos of those puppies soon!

[MariaM]

Lol I am SO sorry about the pictures! Yesterday the computer froze when I was putting them on and I didn't get another chance. Today we went to Dauphing for my braces, got em off. My retainers really hurt. I PROMISE there will be pictures soon!!!

[MariaM]

These are Border Collie/ GSD puppies, 3 weeks old.

[MariaM]

These are the Labs. Sorry, but they will be big.
That is all six of them.
