Many of you mit know, one of my pass time is check out dogs which are ready for adoptions. Yes, I know it's weird....but it is very interesting looking the reason why the previous owner would like to give up their dog. Personally, I do not see any reason of the reasons given are eligible. Of course, if you say, honestly, i can't even feed myself, and I've rescue this dog from the stray... yes.... it is ... or I cannot afford to have a dog, but I've safe the dog from .. blah blah blah.... I am sure u guys know what I mean. but ... how about "no time to take care of the dog" ... hrm.... how about dun get one in the forest place? how about "sperate from boyfriend/girlfriend" ...ahem....hello???? pets are not a ring or a bag, u dun get it and chuck it away along with your old love letters! ... how about "owner is pregnant" hrm... do you give ur older kid away to the orphanage, just b/c u r expecting your 2nd child? NO! how about "old age" this usually not a written reason, but you'd figured that out as the doggie is given up at the age of 6, 7... Along with "old age", "illness" is another reason give away their dog. Many of the poor doggies given up because the owner decided that the dog do not worth to invest into any more. it do not deserve to be heal and see the Vet.... I just find those people SHAMEFUL. I mean, I hope their kids won't give up on them when they get old or sick. Honestly! What a horrible thing to do. how about "leaving the country" well....i'd say you can bring your dog with you! of occurs if you can afford it....but ya... maybe that's some kinda of a reason. But honestly, I hate it when oversea students decided to get a dog, and at the end of their study, they found out that their family at home could not take the dog...or all those crazy reason, and they decided to give the dog away. HELLLO??? dun get the dog the first place if u do not think you can keep him/her for life! The best one i've seen so far is "illegal immigrant". THe previous owner was a illegal immigrant and as he/she is now arrested, the local authorities had taken the dog away to animal rescue. But mind you, the organization BOLDED this "the dog was obviously well taken of". But hey.... y would you get a dog, when you not even legally allow to stay in this country?? Do anyone even THINK carefully before they get a dog? or any kind of pet? Gosh..... Do any of these dogs owner think of the world commitments prior the get a pet? It's a life long commitments. It's not a bag, not book....it's a life. common' people.... There are things I have a very strong opinion about... and this is one of them. I honestly hope I can somehow help all these animals... and yes... a sick person is very grumpy! esp when the sick person refuse to give in and stay home and rest during the easter holiday... she ends up stay home with pile of reports to write, drowsy from the medication and thinking y didn't she stay home and rest, and make wrong life decisions (ie went to K, play MahJong, watch Eason Chan concert, eat good meals....) yes..the easter holiday was full of fun,except the fact that i was sick all weekend!! but hey! give and take.... so now.. i am hugging my computer in bed with more WISC-IV reports, and more WRAT-4 Reports to write. How nice! |
