Jon's newest move....from Jon and Kate

[boomersooner]

Yes, that is pretty much how I feel....I know the dogs will get homes very quickly, and hopefully, they will be good ones....I just feel sorry for the kids, losing their pets....not a good lesson about pet care and loyality.

I heard about this too and honestly I am glad the dogs are leaving. Kate made it clear from Day One that she was not happy about having them. She even offered (in a supposedly joking way ) to give them away on one of the episodes. So here we have two terrific dogs living in Pennsylvania with a woman that doesn't like them and the man is in New York City living the single life. I also doubt that the kids have much interaction with them. Most of the shots of the dogs have been with them in the background being ignored. I think they were purchased just to make a "cutesey episode" for the show. I am glad the breeder is getting them back and they can find forever homes with people who really want them.

As it went, didn't Jon want the dogs? But crap, Kate's got 8 kids to look after and they all appear to be really busy. She's there alot more than Jon. I can see where she wouldn't have the time to spend with the doggers. Noticed Jon didn't offer to take them with him. Best for the doggers that they go back and get somewhere that they can get the love and attention they deserve. I think they were there purely for show.

My question is...why would they get two dogs in the first place?!? They have 8 kids to take care of. Maybe when the kids get older and can help take care of them more. These are huge dogs and way too big for the little ones to help care for at this time in their lives. It is best for the dogs that they went back to the breeder.

I thought the EXACT same thing when I watched the episode when they got them. But as others have said, it was for the show. This show has ruined so many things for this family. I hope it hasn't ruined the children.

I saw this report on tv this past week. The dogs were being taken away as the kids all watched the truck leave. The kids were supposedly yelling goodbye to the dogs and saying that Mommy didn't want them, or something like that. It was one of the most ridiculous and saddest things I've ever seen.

The reporter said Jon couldn't take the dogs where he was living so the breeder took them back. They made it sound like Jon really cared. If he cared so much, why didn't he make arrangements to live in a place where he could have the dogs?

When will the day come when neither of them have the time to take care of the kids and somebody comes to take them away?

I'm amazed at the exploitation that is going on with these kids. Now, their pets are being sent back. Enough is enough!! I can't take another minute of Jon and Kate!!!!!

So many of the episodes were planned to generate viewers. Who wouldn't want to watch an episode where they visited a breeder and came home with two puppies? These puppies weren't bought for Jon or Kate or the kids IMHO but it was a TLC idea for ratings.

Yes the kids will bear the brunt of all of this mess even though Kate is always saying things like "this house is for the kids" or "we are doing this for the kids." The other day I was watching the evening news and there was a film clip of Kate on *The View.* I hate The View so I would have never seen this if it wasn't for the news clip. Someone asked her the question "why do you still wear your wedding ring?" Her answer: "For the kids." AWWW c'mon! Does she really think that six 5 year olds really notice, or care about, rings? It just seemed to me to be really a stretch and I thought it was another lame attempt to make her appear to be "the perfect mother" which she isn't. I realize this sounds like I am judging her and that is probably wrong, and I also realize that none of us who are mothers are perfect, but her answer just sort of struck me as so phony. *sigh*

I agree completely!

I agree completely!

Yes that was a huge mistake on their part. How they thought they would have time to care for 2 puppies in addition to 8 small children is beyond me. I wonder if the dogs were given to them as opposed to them paying for the dogs?
