    Agreed to many people give up there pets when there pregos its a shame I love my dogs wouldn't ever get rid of them

    Hmm. I don't get what ur trying to say I have two kids pregnant with my third two dogs and a cat plus a beta. My pets have there shots are micro chipped and registered. My pets are like my kids. Spoiled well fed and well taken care of. If anyone has pet questions or concerns what's it to you? People are aloud to have pets and spoil them if they want. If I can afford mine plus my kids what concern is it to you? My pets are my kids too. U can't help but love our fury friends

    Ok now I c what ur complaining about. I apologize to the fullest if I sounded rude at all. I get defensive with my furry babies! Ya that's some bs I hate people using pregnancy to get rid of pets. She must not b a good trainer if she's having potty training issues. A simple kennel will do yje trick in a matter of weeks. It worked great on my dogs and one of them we got when he was a bit older

    I feel a bit differently about this topic...I feel if a person feels that they can no longer take care of their pets then why not give them to someone else who can...to some a pet is like their child and to others..They are actually about to have a child and may want to focus on one BIG responsibility at a time....I personally don't have any pets...I have two kids, one on the way, I work and go to school and just don't have the time...Situations change and people change...The responsibility could become OVERBEARING

    Agree with u totally, pets r part of the family and even tho i know im gonna be struggling with a baby, 4 year old child an a 2 year old dog im gonna enjoy every minute of it coz i dont know how long my 'puppy' is gonna be here :-( she has a hole straight thru her heart and shocks the vets everytime i take her coz they basically have never heard 1 as bad as hers and are suprised she has lasted 2 years without any symtoms other than breathing heavy when excited, i got told 2 take her back when i got her and refused needles for her but it was 2 late, she had me hooked from the start! Even tho i dont know how long she will live she will be loved and looked after by our family!
  • azmomazmom
    @proudmom you know the responsibility so u chose not to have a pet u obviously did your reasearch these people obviously have not!.........Lisa so sorry to hear its hard I'm glad your pup has you......
  • jazzi89jazzi89
    Totally agreed. It really bothers me when ppl say theyr givin their pet to the sheler because they can't handle them. I've been around and worked with dogs and other animals my whole life. I've been bit pretty bad too. But I never got rid of any of my pets. I have 5 dogs. 2 which are pits and I hate how friends say that ibshould find them a new home. They r never leaving this house! They r family and my baby on the way will grow up with thm.

    @misslisajane I know what your going through my old dog Lucy had really bad water on the brain. She was a mini fox terrier that longed like a chihuahua. Bor she was the sweetest dog, but one day I let her out and she ran away. She was slowly losing her cognative abilities. Qer were devastated. I miss her alot she was very special. Remember her always. It's amazing hope much they touch our lives at the first glance. I, hope she loves the rest of her life pain free and happy. :'( bor also :) for her memory.

    What does it matter if someone wants to give their pet up because they feel they can no longer provide for them? I don't see how that is in any way selfish. Since we're comparing animals to children (which I find completely ridiculous!), let me say this; If I could no longer provide for my children, I think the most selfless and best thing to do is to give my children up to someone who can provide for them. Perhaps I am missing something here, and maybe your hormones are getting the best of you, but I see nothing wrong with people making that decision. I say it's in the animals best interest.

    When i was younger we had cats a outdoor train smartass dog...i miss her.
    well anyways we were always sick..like stuffy nose hard time breathing ..never really thought about the cats getting us sick..till one day my mom had to go to the hospital because she got so sick w/her asthma and we could no longer keep then..so now I really really can't be around them or else I wont be able to breath. As for my dog we had to move couldn't keep her...but we found her an awesome family that took her and we got updates all the time.:)
    but I do know better in the future when we do get our dog to do research on them because of my allergies and asthma.
    I admit in getting hamsters and a turtle and not keeping it..but I gave them to a family who would take care a love them.
    but there are some people out who really really can't keep there pet..for whatever situation there in..and do feel bad for not able to keep them.

    @bke913 I totally agree with u... I think its stupid to compare children (human being) with animals.

    I was never raised with animals but I dont hate them. my husband n I have 3 dogs, he loves them all. im not attached to them like he is but I will never put my dogs before my kids. I have a daughter on the way its my first born n if I see that any of my dog gets aggressive with her they have to go. is that wrong???? no, im trying to protect my daughter from harm. no animal is going to come before my baby no matter how long ive had the dogs period.

    I think some people do get rid of pets for some silly reasons, but in my opinion its more selfish to keep an animal you dont want and them not get the love and care they deserve than it is to find that animal a new home where it can live a happier life.
  • snredasnreda
    I agree. I have 3 cats and a dog, but I may have to find a new home for one of my cats. But with reason, he attacks my youngest, who is still an infant. So if I fit who youre talking about, sorry

    When I got my dog 2 years ago I knew I was going to start trying to have a baby. I got an hypoallergenic dog (since I'm allergic and I hate dog hair), took her with me to be a nanny since she was a puppy (to get used to kids), and give her all the love I can. She helped me through losing my dad when hubby was at work and I know it may sound silly to.some people but I really love her. I'm scared she may feel left out when baby comes home but I know whatever lap doesn't have a baby it will have her.

    Hmm. Really. Nobody knows an individuals situation! When they got the animal they may did understand the responsibility & could very well handle it. But situations change! Especially with kids on the way
  • sands3sands3
    I had 2 dogs, an adult and a puppy my husband got. Just before my husband found out he was deploying, I found out I was pregnant. We already have a 3 yr old son and me being alone with a 3 yr old, 2 dogs, and soon a newborn would have been very difficult on me. So, we gave the puppy to some really good friends of ours. Does that make me lazy and irresponsible???
  • Mimii36Mimii36
    If money is tight & im having to chose between getting my animal food & getting my baby fed then what do you think I would do. I LOVE my animals but my child comes first. If I cant afford them them why would I continue to make them suffer. I would do the same thing if I couldnt provide for my child! I have 4 dogs & absolutely knew the responsibility it took but I also didnt plan on getting pregnant 2 yrs later. Shit happens! Whats wrong with giving your animal to a loving home. Keeping them when you know you shouldnt is the selfish thing to do..not the ignorant thing.
  • Mimii36Mimii36
    I have 4 dogs! A baby on the way..& im trying to move! Not to mention my dogs are pit bulls & EVERY place ive looked into moving into that I can afford doesnt allow pittbulls. Im still trying everything I can to be able to move & keep them.. But I guess if it came down to it..instead of giving them to a more adequate family I should keep them & stay here in this 2 bedroom house with my boyfriend & my roomate where theres barely enough room for us 3..no room for a crib in our room or anything else for that matter? Yea I guess that would be the better solution! Whatever!

    I don't see how calling someone "lazy" is helping anything. Some people are more animal lovers than others. I know I couldn't handle more than one dog and a newborn and I'm not getting another dog. Bashing other peoples feelings and beliefs isn't helping anything.
  • Jess510Jess510
    @praying4our3rd I totally agree whats next adoption?
  • mom60511mom60511
    Calling people lazy and ignorant is not helping anything. Some people are just trying to do the best they know in a situation.
  • mommabee13mommabee13
    I've worked with animals, I've grew up with animals and I've pretty much owned an animal at all points of my life (until this year). I do believe pets(keyword pets) can be part of the family but kids are a part of us and should be first priority. If you cant do both than u shouldn't...some dogs shed no matter how much grooming you do and some dogs don't train as easily. Di what you feel you need to. P.s. I'm not saying just give up and get rid of them, but everyone is different and in different situations

    I gave my lab to a sweet couple 3 years ago because she had what were basically stress fractures in her shoulders. The doc said its a common injury in large breeds. We were told to keep her confined to a smaller area (our backyard is huuuuuge) for 8 weeks or she would need surgery. I wasn't able to do that, so I put her up in the paper and explained her situation. The couple that took her knew all the details and agreed to give her what she needed. Does that make me lazy? No, it makes me someone who couldn't afford surgery for my dog...posting threads like this just make you sound completely ignorant yourself because you are judging situations you know nothing about. How about this, let's everybody worry about what goes on in our own house. Unless im physically hurting you in some way, what I do is my business and ill answer for any consequences of my actions...
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    May I ask what inresponsible means?? And you call other people ignorant.....
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    @carryingnumbertwo well said!
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    @praying4our3rd lol honestly I was gonna leave this thread alone but she made a rude comment on my post about pets a while back. And I totally disagree with her.
  • redhead25redhead25
    I have 3 cats. One has been around children his whole life so will be fine with the baby. The last couple weeks my other only sleeps on my belly I assume she knows the baby is in there so I'm hoping she will be really close with the baby but the other is a mean asshole. He doesn't like anyone besides me and bf. he pisses swats and bites everyone else. And we will give him away if he is like that to the baby which he probably will. I don't see that as a horrible pet owner...we love him but the children are our number one priority. If it comes to it he will go to my bfs dads who is retiring this month so he can hang out with him all day and we can still see him. I guess I don't see anything wrong with someone getting rid of their pet bc they can't handle the responsibility. What I would see wrong is if they turned around and got another pet knowing they can't handle it.
