Things you wish you could say

[JacinLarkwell]

I wish if hatcheries made substitutions, they kept a record of it. I have some bantams that I cannot figure oit. They're not what I ordered, but I'm not sure what they would be. They seem a bit large for the only chick that looks right from the right hatchery

BUT I am sick of people insinuating that I am an awful, no conscious holding dog killer because I want the OPTION to pick out a responsible, papered breeder of a pure breed I truly enjoy. I am not the person that if I can't get my special one I'm looking at, I'll just go to a shelter to adopt so I have a dog. I would rather not have one than one I didn't want.

My MIL never spoke to us again after we BOUGHT our second dog from a BREEDER. She sent my husband the most heartless, mean, cruel email.

That's a shame. I understand not wanting to encourage backyard (abusive) breeders, but if you want the personality as well as physical traits of a specific breed (dog or cat), you want to find a good, reputable breeder.

The problem is people who want the breed but aren't willing to pay the price, so they support bad breeders. :-(

That's ridiculous!

Oh, the things I wish I could have said to her... She passed away three years ago.

On the way home from the last time we visited her, I said to hubby, "Your mom is going to be a bitter old woman." He replied, "She already is."

We had a memorial dinner for her. We raised our glasses in a toast and said, "To Nancy." Not a single person said, "A life well-lived." That is very sad.

That moment made me realize I very much want to be remembered by the people I care about as having lived a meaningful, loving, happy life.

I don't like that "Adopt, don't shop" saying.

I'm not against shelter dogs, all but one (even him though kinda) that I have had growing up were rescues or shelter dogs. They're great dogs.

I don't think you should fork over hundreds for a mix though that someone happened to have because their dog got loose, especially if you have no way of knowing if both the parents were even healthy dogs.

Sorry, just getting a bit sick of this attitude everywhere suddenly

I have gotten grief for buying from a breeder. I want a dog that has been responsibility bred, with genetic testing for the parents. I am willing to pay a lot of money for the work the breeder put into producing a health, sound dog.

My almost two year old male GSD has all the good qualities the breed should have with none of the health and temperament issues that can be found in poorly bred GSDs. His mind and body are in amazing health. In the long run, spending more up front for the right animal saves money and heartbreak later.

I will shop, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Sounds quite a lot like my MIL. Who is poison to anyone she meets. Have you ever seen the show "Everybody Loves Raymond"? I PRAYED for my MIL to be more like Marie. Marie was a saint compared. We(hubby included cuz he knew) haven't talked to her in over five years. Best five years of my life. I said everything to her I wanted and when I walked away for the last time, I literally felt lighter and happier. The sun came from behind the clouds and we never looked back. Life is too short to deal with poison people, related or not

I've tried to think of things I wish I could say but there isn't anything I haven't said. I say what needs to be said and get done with it.

Except for when it comes to kids

Just because were neighbor's doesn't mean I like how obnoxious you act. I was here way before either of you!
