I’m afraid she really didn’t care much about her dog. After all these years this pup has given her joys for some reason she wasn’t there for him. I strongly hope this will be the last pet she will ever have. How we take care of our pet really shows what kind of human we are.

she seemed to love the little dog....different values about end of life? she let him suffer longer than necessary IMO, the rushed to the cheapest place to put him down. Now when I tell you this, you're really gonna think she's not a good person. she had a two-year-old cat. she like the cat, allowed it to sleep under the covers with her. she euthanized it for an eye problem. I guess the vet either said it was incurable or possibly the treatment would have been very expensive. I couldn't understand doing that to such a young animal. but my sister had a dog who got some sort of object in his eye (if I recall correctly). She had insurance and the treatment cost over $10,000. Not everyone is willing or able to pay that kind of vet bill.
Anyway I doubt my friend will get another dog. Her husband will probably urge her to get a cat. Apparently cats are somewhat disposable to them.
I hope she will not take anymore pets but most likely not, we can only hope. Kudos to your sister! Our pets deserves our unconditional love.
My sister always buys pedigreed dogs while I'm in favor of rescuing but she takes very good care of her dogs
The poor baby was by himself. This is the hardest thing you have to do as a pet parent but the least you can do is be by their side. After all, they are there for you thru thick and thin and they deserve to be accompanied for their final sleep.
This is crazy.
agree....and the reason I always wanted to be with my kitties was to see for myself what was done.....not that my vet would donate them for research or anything. but in the case of my friend's dog, I suspect it wasn't done right away so he sat there in a strange environment with scary smells and no one to comfort him
Hard to excuse
so now my friend's husband wants to get her another little dog. I heard about someone who may be wanting to re-home a frenchie but not sure I want to help them adopt. she loved her yorkie but I don't agree with them letting their little dog out through the doggie door at night where coyotes could have gotten him. and I don't like the way she ended it for him.
seems she values her clean house more than her pet's lives - hence the doggie door
I just won't tell her about the dog...if she hears from someone else, she can decide. she says she's not ready; it's her husband who wants to get another dog
Those little Frenchies are adorable though
so our friends got another dog - sweet terrier mix from the shelter. the dog had been abandoned on the street so glad she has a home. my friend is doting on her. cooking chicken for her, took her for vet check. anxious to bathe her once her spay surgery site is healed enough. I'm happy for them. the one thing that really irks me though it they have a doggie door and they want the dog to go out at night through the door. I wish they would take her out before bed and then lock that door so she would be safe from coyotes. but seems they are more concerned with the dog peeing on their floor.
anyway the doggie is much better off than she was before and they are in town so coyotes less prevalent than if you have open space around you.
well, she and her husband adopted a dog from the shelter and she seems to be taking good care of her. she dog has some apparent weakness in her leg. she took the dog to the vet and the vet basically said no big deal, maybe an old injury. she is now saying she plans to take the dog for x-rays.
I still don't agree that they let their dogs (and cats when they had them) use the doggie door to go out by themselves at night where they could be eaten by coyotes but I guess it's not my decision
