Thread: They are taking my dog!

When we moved into our new home, with a great big backyard, we decided we were going to get a dog. we did not want to go to a pet store, when so many dogs need good homes, so we went to Golden Retriever Freedom Rescue, and adopted Jake in April of this year, and he is a great dog. We ended up adopting another dog from them, but the second dog was not a good fit, as it was nipping and jumpping up on my two daughters, ages 5 and 3. I called the rescue to say that they needed to take the second dog back, and they started asking us some question about the dogs. One question was how often they are outside. I said that when my wife and I were at work, and when the weather was nice, (ie above 45 degrees), they go outside and play for 4 to 5 hours, tops, and then my wife is home.

They flipped out. they accused us of neglecting the dog, of abusing the dogs, becasue they were outside when we were not home. Nevermind the fact that these dogs have a bed in front of the fireplace, which is on every night. they sleep on the couch, and get regualr, great, exercise. No, they are taking the dogs, or they are going to do unscheduled, supervised vitists, to make sure that we are taking care of the dogs, and if they knock on the door, and no one answers, and the dogs are outside, then they take the dogs. I feel like they are treating us like child abusers.

I am dealing with complete nut jobs, fanatics. I am taking them to court, and forcing them to hire an attorney, and incurr the expenses of it. My legal fees are free. However, even if I win, I will still have this nut job outfit in my life.

I will not be subject to Big Brother looking over my shoulder. These dogs are the most spoiled dogs in existence, and my dad, a veterinarian of 40 years, agrees with that. I AM ****ED OFF!!!!
