    I'm so angry right now!!!

    I'm sorry, but I need to vent...I'll try my best not to swear lol....this will probably be long....

    You all remember my sister and her husband, right? The people with absolutely no common sense? If not, I'll refresh your memory...

    Hmm they would be the ones who went and got a cute little westie puppy from a PET STORE, while they lived in an apartment, fully AWARE that dogs were not allowed in their apartment. They talked to us before and we all told them NOT to get a dog, especially since they have a young child and neither one of them is even remotely responsible enough to care for a dog. Also when she first married him he told us if he had kids he didn't even want them at our house because we had dogs. He said he would never even let a dog ride in his car, let alone his house. Of course, they didn't listen...and I ended up watching the dog for like 3 weeks before they moved into a house.

    I warned them not to get a dog from a pet store, they didn't listen, and he was VERY hard to potty train...they didn't take him to any training classes or socialize him. He was still a very sweet little dog. They had him for a few months (still not potty trained) and then decided to get ANOTHER dog. Yes, very smart, you can't handle the dog you have so why not go and get another?

    So they get the black schnauzer puppy, Sydney. Two days later they gave McKinney the westie away. I was incredibly angry about all this.....I did give them a chance though...they did take Sydney to puppy kindergarten, feeding her premium food, etc.

    Probably about a month ago they were complaining to my mother that they "didn't have money" to feed Sydney and that they didn't like her around their child, Savannah, and that they were afraid she was going to bite her, etc. She talked about getting rid of her.

    During all of this they had been visiting adoption events and looking at dogs in the newspaper. (they didn't tell me this of course, just my mother....she calls her and upsets her at least 3 times a day) Jesse did though tell me about this "cute husky we wanted so badly Alisha almost brought it home...." One of the reasons my sister has told my mom for wanting another (big) dog was to "get rid of mice." That is the DUMBEST reason for getting a dog I've ever heard! How the hell is a large dog in your backyard going to get rid of mice in your HOUSE??? They dog they have right now is a terrier...terriers were bred to kill vermin....and she barks constantly...IN the house.....I don't see how in the world a large dog barking in their (non-fenced small) backyard in a dog run is going to scare mice from going in their house!! I think getting a cat would be much more logical! (not that they deserve to have a cat either!)

    Yeah, so today, I found out they GOT A DOG!! I am so angry right now I want to go over there and kick them both! I guess somebody at work had puppies and Jesse just brought one home. He's like a stupid little child! He has absolutely NO common sense! They don't have the money or the time for another dog. They are constantly begging money off of my parents. My parents give them money for gas and food, and they just gave them $500 because they couldn't pay their taxes. They just asked the church for money. I can't believe they would do that. She complains to my mom and the church that they can't afford to feed themselves or their child.....ok, so sure, lets be smart and get a LARGE DOG!! They already paid $500 + for Mckinney (gave him away for free) and $400+ for Sydney. This puppy may be free, but that is NOT the end of the expense!

    Jesse works every day, very long hours. He doesn't even have time to spend with his own child or wife. Everytime I see him he is half alseep because he works so many jobs and never has time to rest. Yet, he is proposing he will have time to spend with this dog...he never even has time for Sydney! That is so SELFISH of him. He should be spending the time with his child, not this dog. It is selfish to bring another dog into a home like this. Alisha is home all day but she constantly complains how tired she is from watching Savannah. (they are also trying to have another child!!) She is afraid of big dogs....she always thinks Nebo's going to hurt Savannah...and she says she is allergic to shedding dogs. So the dog would live outside in a dog run.

    It's because of the stupid mentality like they have that there are so many dogs in shelters. He just got the puppy "because it was cute." Yes, but intelligent people see a cute puppy and think "Oh what a cute puppy....but a big responsibility that will grow up." He just thinks "Oh what a cute puppy..." he doesn't even bother to think about anything else. Sure, all puppies are cute, but uhh, they don't stay cute little puppies forever.

    If they talk to me I'm going to try my best to hold back my first reaction to strangle them and try to speak to them logically (if that's possible with them) and convince them to let me find the dog another home.....*sigh*

    Anybody want an already spayed 8 week old female german shepard mix pup?

    Wow, that's horrible!! They don't realize that dogs aren't stuffed animals and aren't disposeable as such!!! I hate to think of where this pup is going to eventually end up

    Not only that but isn't 8 weeks a little too young to spay a dog?

    They didn't spay the dog.......it was probably spayed at the humane society by the owners of the dogs mother...the whole litter. I think it's pretty common for humane societies to do that.

    Shelters will spay/neuter pups at 8 weeks. I think most vets wont do it until 6 months though..

    What a load of crap these poor dogs have to put up with!! I am so sorry the dogs, and you, are going through this. Hopefully you can talk some sense into them.

    Re: I'm so angry right now!!!

    I can certainly understand your anger, and yes
    we all seem to have friends or family members who
    have no clue when it comes to caring for a animal.
    You can talk youself blue in the face, but I wish
    everyone who adopts or buys an animal would
    have to watch a tape first on the care, cost and
    attachment these animals have for us and
    what happenes when you don't take care of them
    or give them the love they require.
    You can vent all you want.
    I certainly understand your frustrations.

    Well, the only good news I read in your story is that the pup was spayed... YAY!

    Now to the bad stuff I was really sad and mad while reading about their situation. I'm confronted all day every day with stupid situations like these at work. It just makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ANGRY. Whats even worse is when they don't listen to logic. I pray you will be able to get through to them. Just keep your patience and reason with them. If they don't listen, THEN you can kick them (kidding!). Maybe you can convince them to rehome their Schnauzer too. They really don't need to have any living creatures under their care

    Nope, we routinely do it at all the shelters I have worked for (and all the ones I've volunteered with). So over the years, I've seen thousands upon thousands being fixed at that young age and there have been very few problems. The problems we did have were not due to their age. They must be at least 5 lbs to be safely done though.

    That sounds a lot like my sister She got a puppy (IN an apartment, top floor ) then they had to give it back cause it was seizures..thens he got a kitten who she had for a while, then got sick and went to the hospital for a long while and her bf and kids moved in with his mom while this happened cause hes an idiot and cant care for his own kids..and LEFT the kitten..so we took care of her. Then a month or so later gave it to the HS cause they couldn't afford to spay it Its sickning I know..I wish ppl would seriously think about it before getting animals..its not just something you 'have' like an object which some ppl seem to think..hopefully it works out for your sis's dogs and she STOPS getting animals till they're ready, if ever that happens

    You know what's weird? I just heard on TV that schnauzers were bred to catch mice and eat them.
