I'm so sorry. I'm sure you're doing what's best for him though.

I'm sorry but I echo this statement. I hope Ozzy finds a new home that DESERVES him. You obviously like to keep yourself busy with after school activities and while that is great, I think you jumped in over your head with getting Ozzy. Before I would EVER give up a living breathing animal (correction), member of the family, I'd quit one of the other after school activities.

You raised him and put so much time, effort, and work into him and you decided he was the 'after school activity' worth giving up.

Ugh.

I'm sorry... but this just really upsets me.

You put into words what I was hesitating to do. But, I agree 150%!!

[FizzGiggs_Mommy]

ramanth I agree with you 100% .
I believe if you can not commit 100% for the animal’s whole life you should not get a pet. I do believe she did the right thing by giving him up so he is able to find a forever home.

I'm glad someone said it. I think a lot of us were thinking it, but didn't know exactly how to say it. I feel bad for Ozzy, bonding with a family then being told he has to go away. My animals are my children, and I would no sooner get rid of them than I would a child. My life would be rearranged before I did anything like that. I hope Ozzy finds a wonderful forever home, he deserves to have the best.

I completely agree. I didn't want to respond to this because I didn't want to say it. I would NEVER treat my pets as objects that I can get rid of when I wanted to. (Not that I have ever wanted to) Now that poor Ozzy is out of his cute puppy stage it's easy to say there is no time for him. It will make it that much harder for him to find a good home. Sorry, it's just the way I feel.

Kimmy, I thank God that you said it!! I wanted to but was afraid I would booed. You read my mind exactly. She wasn't willing to give up her social activites at 13 ......

[ramanth]

Thanks guys. I just sat on it and sat on it and I finally couldn't take it anymore and had to say how I felt.

Foam I'm glad you are showing great maturity in realizing you were not the best for Ozzy. I know it was a very hard deciton to make . I beleive you are doing the bset for him and your self . Instead of the situation becoming a bad one you are doing a good thing. Too many people wouldn't have the strength to do it . I think then it becomes a bad thing for all involved. (((hugs to you girl))))

Ramanth, I completely agree, I feel the same way. I just can't figure out how these activities are so much more important than a pet that you loved! How did the interest in the pet die, and go to "things"?

Yes, Ozzie deserve better, and hopefully he will get a family that will love him and not just be a phase for them to go through. Pets are not phases, they deserve to be loved forever, until they make the trip to the bridge! I know I am not making much sense here, but it just confuses me to see a sweetheart like Ozzie to be classified lower than "activities".

Enough said, I agree with Ramath, and that is that! There is more, but I won't say it.

Ozzy, may you find a home that deserves you, and loves you enough to keep you forever! We are going to miss you sweet Ozzy, be happy...

Thank you Kimmy! I have been wanting to say just that since I first seen this thread, my exact thoughts also.

Im sorry Cayter, but I really agree with Kimmy. Im so sorry you had to give up Ozzy. But why couldn't you just give up some activitys? Ozzy was a full commitment that you wanted. all I know is that I'm never giving up my dogs so I can stay in activities. But maybe it was for the best. I hope ozzy finds a good home. All I know is hat im gonna miss ozzy pictures.

I was very hesitant to say anything... but now that Kimmy's put my thoughts into the exact words.... DITTO DITTO DITTO!!!

I couldn't even imagine giving up one of my dogs up before sports, music, friends...etc. I'd even think of giving up school before them. May not be the smartest of choices, but they're living breathing animals, with emotions and feelings... and i'd give up every minute of my relaxation time to spend with them.
