Sarah's getting rid of Max :-(

[lute]

Well, people's upbringings, lives, and, situations are all so different, they are going to view certain decisions or situations a certain way. One thing I've learned (and, I've probably said this already in Pet Talk somewhere) is that you can't control what others say or do, but, you can control how you react to them. I was just trying to empathize somewhat. This is just one of those threads that can very easily turn ugly, and, I like to try to put some positivity out there. I mean, I think it's a crappy reason to rehome a pet, too, but, it's not Sarah's decision. I probably wouldn't bite my tongue if I could speak directly to her dad, though.

maybe enough positivity will make all the negative go away!

It's a process called opposition thinking. It's worked for me. I don't know about making **all** the negativity go away, but, I've surrounded myself with people willing to at least try!

I agree with Kari!!

Maybe you have no say in household decisions about Max, but you could
refuse to go along with looking for another dog right now. It's not right to
go along with bringing another dog into the house on consignment, like a new
car or something. I wish Max the best of luck where ever he goes.
