Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I apparently am one of the narrow minded ones b/c my main concern is about the puppy!
KayAnn and I normally don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, and we have butted heads on more than one occasion, but I stand behind her fully on this one. I think what she is doing is admirable and right. Janylle acts like it is a GOOD thing that she has had 24 dogs in her life. Like she is proud of it, why all the smilies if she isn't????
I am sorry Tonya that your mom felt that way growing up but am glad that you have gotten past it and are not like her. (I hope that isn't rude!!!!) My parents didn't have indoor animals when I was a kid, and my mom was very reluctant at letting my dog in the house the first time I brought her home, but one thing I know for sure, is that they didn't believe in disposable pets and you just didn't give dogs away so you could run out a get another one, you kept it for as long as its life was. We had our outside dog for 12 years. He had a full and happy life. My mom now welcomes my dog into her home as long has her paws are clean!! And when my first dog Shaianne died, my mom and dad cried right along with me. But my mom has no desire to share her home full time with a pet and that is her right. I would rather she not share one than turn into a person like what has been described her and 'dispose' of them at a moment's notice.
I don't plan on leaving PT over this, she is entirely not worth it, and if I haven't left b/c of her before I am not going to leave now. I normally don't get into the debates or nasty threads, unfortunately something about Tikeya's mom makes me mean. I honestly am not normally like that! ( no comment Kay Ann!!! )
