first and foremost, i do not think you are rude, but i do think that you are very persumptious in your assessments of my ability or lack there of to care for something larger than a rabbit. however, i do think you made several sweeping generalizations that you have no business in making. i understand the committment as well as the dedication it takes to have a dog. i am married and truthfully, a husband is just as much work as a dog. judge me if you want, but i am thinking of divorcing my husband so i only have to deal with one animal in the house rather than two. what do you think of me now?!

The poor dog was a rescue to begin with, and then because you didn't feel like you had the tools to deal with his anxiety issue, the poor dog became a rescue again. I'm assuming he'll have the same anxiety issues in his new home, and I just hope and pray the new owners will fulfill their commitment to him by dealing with it instead of shirking it. > How can you be sure your next dog does not have anxiety issues? The truth is you can't be sure, and if you were not able to handle it before, what makes you think you'll handle it now? Please reconsider getting a dog. Dogs are way too dependent on us emotionally to be tossed away, by the ones they love and count on. A dog is a lifetime commitment, no ifs, ands, or butts and you need to be committed to seeing any and all issues through to the bitter end, no matter how difficult or expensive. > > Maybe you should look into something lower maintenance, like a rabbit, or a hamster. > > Again, I know this sounds mean, but there are way too many dogs put to death everyday because the owners didn't know what they were getting into to begin with. Is that really fair to the dog or yourself, your family, your children? I think not. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Sent: 29 Mar 2005 19:45:51 -0000 > Subject: [labradoodles] Digest Number 400 > > There is 1 message in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.
