Last year I was picking a puppy from my friend's dog's litter. The one I wanted, a healthy white pup with soft white fur and blue eyes, I was due to pick. But when I found out that my friend's daughter in law wanted that pup as a pet for her newborn, things looked bleak. I was really mad because no one believe me when I said that a dog would not be a pet for a newborn baby!
Well, that didn't help and they took the pup I wanted. The other puppies that I liked were also promised to someone else, and, in the end, I was left with the last pup in the litter. And she was the last one in the litter for a reason: she had obvious behavioral issues! Regardless of whether I wanted the pup, she was adopted.
It wasn't until she grew into a dog that my parents realized that I was right; that she really did have behavior problems! And that's about when I learned something horrible: the pup I'd wanted, the pup I had a name picked for and everything, had been given away by the people who took him because they couldn't keep him and the baby!!!!!!!
Was I informed that they didn't want him? HECK NO! Now I am stuck with a dog that is practically a spaz! I just can't win... If a person would just listen to me/my opinion ONCE, things would be different, and I wouldn't be stuck in a situation where my first dog is a dog that hates me, and everyone else hates her.
Yes, I have tried training her problems out. I have even sought out professional help! IT DOESN'T HELP!!! Everyone says she cannot be trained! The dog I would have gotten was a white DachshundXMaltese with blue eyes and a red nose. He was not deaf, not blind, smart, sweet, and would follow me everywhere!
I am so freaking mad right now... I just need sympathy because everyone else tells me to move on or shut up... Rant over...
