So, this girl that I used to work with decided she wanted a puppy. She lives with her bf and I guess she didn't understand that dogs are people to cause she didn't tell him that she was getting one, just showed up with the pup. So her bf freaks out cause she leaves for 2 weeks to go work in NOLA and leaves him the pup to take care of...that he didnt want in the first place. She never talked it over with him or anything, just sprang it on like hey surprise I got you a puppy.
Ok, so I was talking to the bf and telling him, you need to crate train her if your going to keep her inside and he doesn't listen to me at all. Instead he blocks off places and lets her go wherever. He is pissed he has the pup and shes not there to help or to take care of her since she wanted the pup in the first place. I told him he needed to tell her his feelings cause if not he was just going to end up resenting everything and hating the puppy. So they got into a fight etc etc and she is like get rid of her blah blah. I told him months ago, if you guys decide you don't want to keep her and can't find a good home WE will take her. I can't just let a puppy be thrown around, I am such a softy.
So she gets back, they talk and try to work things out and this is 3 months later and guess what..I get a phone call, do you want to take this dog? When I had first talked to him about back in Jan I didn't know I was pregnant. I am not two and a half months pregnant and I was at first like no we can't afford another dog at the moment.
Well my husband gets home from work yesterday and I just feel awful how they are treating her, just get rid of it is their point of view. So I talk to my husband and tell him the situation and he was like well, if they want to meet us halfway..we live like almost 6 hours away..then we can take her.
So, I call them and tell them the deal, if you meet halfway we will take her, they didn't want any money for her or anything they just want to get rid of her. It's so sad...
What makes me so mad about it all is the fact that NOW they are trying to crate her and she keeps messing in her crate...they have no patience for the pup and just can't deal with it.
So, My question is.....advice. Anyone who has any advice in rotts please give me some. This puppy will be a indoor doggy just like our hunters, she will be raised with all kinds of love and attention. We treat our animals as if they were people.
A little info about me, I am pregnant and due end of Oct, we have a 3 yr old choc lab who is a big baby and loves anyone and everyone and kitty that is 1 that I adopted from the pound last year, she will adjust it will just take some time lol.
