Yes my neighbor feeds the coons, they allow them to use the area under their deck as a den...
I just want to reach out and give her a big old Smack upside the head. Cause she has young grandchildren who come over ALL the time, and play on that deck.
Wheazy is doing just fine. The Vet said that IF she is prego, then the pup is really good at hiding. She came out yesterday and checked both girls, used a handheld ultrasound on Wheazy, and saw NOTHING!
She also looked at Kona. Kona is supposed to be fixed, but the Vet isn't so sure that the scar is from a spay... Said the placement is wrong for a spay scar... It completely blows my mind. I might have to take Kona in to the actually Vets office and have her checked over...
If it turns out that Kona isn't spayed like we were told, then she will be altered, as I REALLY don't need pups. Oh we were told that we are WRONG on Kona's breed. She isn't a mutt! She is a Newzealand Huntaway...
Wheazy on the other hand... I am not allowed to spay. Unfortunately their is a contract with the breeder, that states that she must have 1 liter before being spayed... I didn't originally buy Wheazy, I took her in as a foster 3 years ago, and she just never left. Now she is a permenant resident in my little home.
I sure do get myself into some odd predicaments don't I?
The contract should only be good as long as Wheazy is with the people that signed the contract. The contract is a legal agreement between buyer and the breeder, and not a foster home and the breeder I am a bit surprised that the original owners weren't required to return her to the breeder if they couldn't keep her. If you are fostering her for the breeder it might be a different story. But unless you signed the contract with the breeder, you could not be held to the terms of the contract, that was signed by the original buyers. If you are able to contact the breeder, I would ask them for a time limit on how long you have to deal with an unaltered Grump, that they didn't place correctly into a forever home. I know from experience that a breeder can not guarantee a placement nor can a new owner guarantee they can keep the dog for it's entire life, but why breed more puppies, that don't have homes to go to? I think that by the time a animal is placed into foster care, and left there for more than a year let alone three years. Then the foster parent should be able to care for the animal as they see fit. Most rescue groups require that in order for the animal to be placed in to their care, that the group has all legal rights to the animal, and most groups will have the animal spayed then and there. The breeder looses any legal claim on the animal, once it is in rescue. The breeder would only have rights to the animal, by taking it back from the original buyers and keeping it. Unless there is a lot more to the story, at three years Wheazy is your dog. I would have her spayed.
I'm sorry, I guess what I meant by "foster" was that she wasn't suposed to stay more than a month with me. But to this day, the original purchaser still hasn't gotten his crud in line. So she is now MY dog. She is even registered to me. But, I was under the impression, that because the breeder "and I say that lightly," signed the dog over to me. That somehow, the contract was binding to me also... BUT it shouldn't be, because I signed nothing except the transfer of ownership/registration papers. When I met the "breeder" I was not impressed, more like concerned. That was the last time that I spoke to her.
