To busy to have a pet
6/28/2009 at 10:17 AM
First of all this is not directed towards anyone, I am just venting!
K....I have seen so many classifieds and heard of so many people having to get rid of their pet because they have no time for it, and some of these pets havent even hit 6 months of age yet.
Most people say they didnt think the animal would get that big or that they have no time to walk it or play with it...how about as a responsible pet owner you should put some time into researching what you want, or just have some common sense that you do have to pick up after your pet, walk you pet, love your pet, respect your pet. Just like your pet respects you. If you didnt have time for a pet in the first place then why would you get one?
You wouldnt have a baby and decide "uh maybe thats not for me" and go drop it somewhere. or "oh, the baby is to big" lets go get a smaller one!
I saw on Funds Fur Friends that someone gave these 2 adorable puppies up becuase they didnt look like what the people wanted them too. they had a litter of 6 and these 2 were weird looking to them, so they just dropped them at the pound.
Thank god for Funds Fur Friends and the Humane Society, they save alot of animals from the pound, animals that werent wanted for some stupid reason.
So to you people thinking you want a pet but dont know if you have the time, think really really really long and hard about it because its an 10-15 year/every day commitment. or just dont get one at all becuase we will see it in the classifieds in 2 weeks.
