    I hate people...

    So, it finally happened to me.  I knew it would happen sooner or later but it still sucks.

    A friend is re-homing their 6 year old lab/newfie mix because he doesn't fit in with their family dynamic anymore.  God I hate people... and I dated this guy!    (oh and they now have 2 little kids and the dog was an outside dog only anyway)

    geeez...i hope the kids continue to fit into their family dynamic...

    That's just so hard to understand.  If a puppy can fit into the *family dynamic* why wouldn't a 6 year old dog fit?  By now he's housetrained, a lot calmer - or he should be assuming they've been paying any attention at all to him in the 6 years they've had him.[:@]

    I'm with you, tasha...
    a girl at work was telling me about her neighbor.  She "rescued" a stray choc lab when he was a puppy.  Sought no training, no vetting... the dog is now a year old, and unmanageable.. so they dumped him in the back yard, meanwhile they had an "indoor" boxer.  They sought our our rescue to turn over the choc lab, but refused to get the dog hw tested and rabies vacc before we would accept him... found out a week later they dumped BOTH dogs at the AC....
    within the next week they went out and Bought a min pin.
    I've been sick to my stomach ever since over that one.

    The neighbors behind me who let their cats out used to have a Golden/GSD that had absolutely the sweetest temperment and would put up with the hellion kids forever. She was never a jumper and she and Shadow were sweet on each other. Somehow, this sweet, loyal dog got out of a yard with chained and padlocked gates. I say that with suspicion. My wife thinks she saw her roaming the neighborhood the next day and I think I saw her running across the service road the morning after that. How cold do you have to be to listen to your dog whining to be let back in? They now have a Dachshund.
     
    They are the ones who have the boy I describe as the Spawn of Satan. He likes throwing stuff at other dogs.
