You said "JWM's said her dog "require's constant medication".Again WHERE?None of us have read this!
"Right to attack"WHERE did i mention this?If anyone has "jeopardised"the rehoming of this dog it's not JWM it's YOU for all your fabricated rubbish you have been spouting.
There is only one thing you did get right and that's that i and others who have responded to this thread are dog lover's.So you wind your neck in and stop talking rubbish and fabricating things that have just not been said by me or anyone else on this thread.Could it be that this thread has hit a nerve with you because you gave your animals away?If the cap fit's wear it,i am sure it will suit you.Go on now ,shoo,away with you!
Hmmmm, it would appear that I owe an apology with regards to my comments on quoting your right to attack.
Having re read the post again I can see that you did in fact not say this at all, quite the opposite in fact. So I do apologise to you for that comment.
The rest of my comments stand however.
I am not suggesting that this Westie is a dog on edge ready to attack any child it comes in sight of, I was simply pointing out that there are many reasons people choose to re home dogs and was asking whether your 'dog for life' attitude meant that dogs should be kept regardless.
Obviously most people would say that if a dog is a danger to a person then re homing is the best option - those people should not then be spouting 'a dog is for life' and making people feel guilty.
Yes I re homed 2 dogs but the reasons were correct at the time and were in the best interests of those 2 dogs. Both dogs are now very happy and contented.
I am not sure as to what cap you are referencing that I should wear? Do we re homers now have our own 're home gang' cap? Does this somehow mark us as unkind to dogs? Should we feel guilty for doing the best by our dogs? Even if those dogs are now happier?
A turn of phrase can be taken many ways.
When I pointed out that the skin condition wasn't even the issue, what I meant was that the skin condition is not even a factor in the owner deciding to re home this dog. Of course prospective new owners need to know of this condition and that is why I applauded JWM for being open and honest about this in her intial post.
Maybe her initial post wasn't detailed enough or was vague as to her reason for re homing, however, I believe the pont is that she does not have to explain herself or her reasons to anyone.
Yes, there were many posts offering possible solutions to the reasons that JWM had put forward but there were many more accusing her of not loving her dog and just wanting to get rid of it. All those are cruel comments to someone already having to make difficult decisions.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
