Ok this puppy stuff has really annoyed me. I'm trying to make a conscious effort on here not to talk about myself too much cos I feel like i do a lot and I don't want to come across as a JM style me me me type but I can't help it on this topic. I rescued an abused puppy a few years ago, he was 9 months old -
i have a friend who works as a vet receptionist. He had been dumped in a pet carry crate on the front doorstep of the surgery. He had been beaten, he was far too thin and he was terrified. She told me, I took him in as there was a chance he might have been put to sleep as he was quite bitey. However - I was not in the position to keep him, renting, full time job etc. He went to stay with my parents and 3 years later is a paid up member of the Cow family. It breaks my heart that he is not with me every day but I get to see him often. Anyway my point is he was so so much work for probably the first year they had him - making a traumatised dog trust you (not to mention all the training!) is incredibly hard,and this was my retired parents who had no other real commitments. How dare she talk about taking on a rescue dog when she would never ever give them the time and dedication they need?? (BTW my pup is now the most loving delightful thing you could imagine and all the cow family adore him)
