Well...

My mom is never going to let Roxy in the house, because my mom always makes up an excuse, like think about me, she "smells" or she has fleas, or yadda yadda yadda...I even offered to give Roxy a Flea bath...

And yet your mom wants a puppy??? Your mom needs to get her priorities in check. She really, really does.

...Ok...first of all I can't even talk about another dog, and then somebody brings Roxy into the whole situation. This thread was to ask opinions on names, and stuff...Not about Roxy. I think that I will be leaving PT for a while...Tink Was not left to die! STOP FREAKING SAYING THAT! We did everything we could for her, and we didnt even think about another puppy till 2 days after she died. Don't say I dont listen either. YES I DO. Roxy is not left to die! She is quite well trained, she gets fed alot, shes on a LONG chain, not a short one...anyways Like I said I think I will be leaving PT for a while. Roxy is loved very much, and Tink was, too...

This is what they mean, instead of listening to all the valid points people have posted here and try to take their advice you are going to run from the sitution. We know that no matter what is said on here you are still going to do what you want to do, oh and nobody said Roxy is being left to die...I think you and your mom should sit down and carefully read what each person had to say in this thread and maybe just maybe you could see it from our point of view or at least see where everyone is coming from...

If you had done everything she would have been to a vet when she was so sick. Loving her wasn’t going to heal her.

[Jessika]

In june-july, I took Roxy on a walk every day...and...Shes not TIED shes connected to a pole, on a 15 foot chain...

15 feet isn't that long, though. My dogs have a 20ft tie-out and that's too short, IMO

edited to add: and 15 feet is just fine for your pup to be on for 15 minutes at a time maybe while they're outside going potty if you don't have a fenced in yard, but 15 feet is NOT suitable for a dog's living area to be confined to.

[Lobodeb]

How can you say you "did everything you could" for Tink when you didn't even take her to the vet before she died? That is not doing everything you can!

aka she is tied to a pole

Who cares about June- July were talking about NOW. Most dogs get a walk at least twice a day and those are dogs that aren't chained outside so Roxy deserves a lot more exercise. So in August, September, and Oct you didn';t walk her!?

Okay, there's no rule that says how long you need to wait after a dog dies to get another, but this is a lie. You even posted this exact thread the day after she died.

And we bring Roxy into the situation because her life needs improvement. HOW can you even THINK about a puppy when you have a wonderful girl tied up outside? Whether or not she comes inside I'm sure she's in need of attention, grooming, loving, treats, training, etc. And why is she tied up? Can't your mom buy her a run to have so she can not have a chain attatched to her and risking getting caught on something? Does she even have a dog house? A toy or two? An unlimited supply of water?

I am listening to the points everyone has to say. I'm not trying to run away either, I'm just tired of everybody keeping bringing up Roxy. This thread has nothing to do with Roxy!

If you fully understood our points, you would see that this has everything to do with Roxy.

It has everything to do with Roxy. You want to get another dog, when Roxy's situation can be much better and Tink didn't get the medical attention she needed.

[buttercup132]

oh and nobody said Roxy is being left to die

yes they did...

Roxy being chained outside, a puppy left to die, and now a new puppy being brought into the picture.

[CagneyDog]

I'm pretty sure that "A puppy left to die" was reffering to Tink?

[PrinceBrewJulia]

yes they did...

Actually, thats about Tink I'm sure.

[k9krazee]

yes they did...

I think that quote was refering to Tink, not Roxy...

[Jessika]

yes they did...

"a puppy left to die" was referring to Tink
