I understand having a love and passion for the animals in our lives, but I can't quite see taking it to the extent of, if it came down to a choice, divorcing your husband before rehoming a dog. I love my two dogs and one cat very much and would do whatever I could to assure their health and happiness. But I'd be lying if I said they were as or more important or dear to me than my husband or my children. This will probably get me alot of flaming, but I just never got someone placing their pet at the same tier as their own flesh and blood. Close, yes but not quite on the same level.

I could have and should have responded nicer to the original post. I got upset that $$ seemed more important than a forever good home.  Donna ----- Original Message ----- From: Michele Burr To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 5:10 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] OFFER: Chuhuahua at lower price KY Hi Donna,  This is exactly the way I feel about mine ... I would divorce my dh before finding a home for my pooches if they had a "problem" or there were hard times ... and I automatically assume everyone is the same, and it could never change for anyone - like my friend. I never in a million years would have thought my friend would have rehomed my pooches sister, but here she is doing it ... I guess under enough stress people will do what they have to - she's doing what she has to do to just preserve herself and a home for herself and her two kids during her divorce and it doesn't include pets right now. I haven't been able to say, "hey, one chi wouldn't kill you" - because I know she loves that dog more than anything in the world other than her kids - so I know it's killing her. She's renting a "house" so I know she "could" take her chi - I don't get it and it's breaking my heart.   Anyway, we don't know what "things" that Lisa mentioned are that she's going through - maybe just as hairy as my friend. She deserves the benefit of the doubt, and kindness, I'm sure it will be difficult to give her puppy up - I couldn't do it.   Also, there are people who just dump their chi at a rescue or shelter - she's doing the right thing and finding her baby a home.   If it was me making an adoption fee, I'd decide on an amount and make it a donation to the local humane society to help homeless animals ... but I can't give a baby up so it wouldn't be me! I would also need references, a home visit, their parent's names and addresses, a two week trial homing, and weekly visits for the next month - LOLOLOL! We still visit our breeder though - it's their doggie "grandma" after all and they like to see the other chis there.  Shell  On 6/18/07, donna norden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  I would sacrifice a limb before rehoming one of my 7.  Donna  Recent Activity  16 New Members  36 New PhotosVisit Your Group SPONSORED LINKS Chihuahua Chihuahua puppies for sale Chihuahua charm Chihuahua housebreaking Chihuahua t shirt Y!
