Friend Got a Yorkie... Update Page 3

if you take the lab, make sure you will have room for the "tiny Yorkie" in the future

 

• Take the lab. Make sure you get some kind of paperwork to show that ownership was legally transfered
• Either keep the dog and take care of it like it should have been or foster it until you can find it a forever home
• Tell the friend she is no longer a friend because you couldn't possibly bestow that title on someone who is so shallow and stupid. A real friend of yours would not treat a dog like a disposable lighter.

 

I agree. Poor dog. That IS completely shallow.
I too,would take her in even if you planned on finding her another home.

 

Quote:Agreed.
The Yorkie will be next. I have family that do the same thing. They buy one pet after another and end up giving them away.
I could not Imagine giving a pet away.

 

Quote:Wifezilla is so right. Dogs are not toys or disposable. Your friend is not a very nice person if you ask me.

 

That is so sad, and unfair to her lab... I hate it when people decide to get rid of their animals for stupid reasons (or for really any reason other than the animal's happiness and welfare). I would take the lab in and find her a good home where her family won't get rid of her, whether it's with you or someone else. It's one thing to have multiple dogs, but an entirely different thing to get a new dog and decide you don't want your other dog any more. It sounds like she's thinking of dogs more as accessories than living creatures who are part of the family. I would never give up any one of my three dogs, and I can't even imagine doing so.

 

this is just as bad as the people who live next door to me, they own 9 dogs! one goes missing(the guy sold them w/o the family knowing for his habit) they bring in 2 more!Dogs are not like gold fish they actually want and trust you.
