"Oooh see thats what I want to get! A littledog just like that look how cute!"

My rant for the day. I went through the Starbucks drivethru today and that's what some girl said about my dog to the girl who was serving me through the window. It kind of gave me a bad feeling when I heard it and saw her reaction. She doesn't look like someone who can handle this dog. Wow. the things I felt like saying to her. Sure, he's cute. But do you know what my life is like with this dog? Want to know why he's in my backseat half awake? Because we just went on our usual 2 mile walk. He'll sleep for the next hour in the car and when we get home he will be running in circles in the back yard with the other dogs. No offense and sorry to be judgemental here, but I couldn't help but notice you weigh like 220lbs and you look tired from serving coffee. I'd be surprised if you could give a dog like this the excercise it needs. Think he sleeps all day because he's not 50lbs? HAHAHAHA. What's your yard look anyway? I bet you'd be surpised to know despite his size, he can jump fences and he found out that if he keeps jumping up on a certain spot, the gate opens because he's hitting the latch. He's also in my car because he can't be left home alone because of his massive seperation anxiety. He's more comfortable and calm in the car. I can leave him in the car while I go in places (well, SAFE places with windows I can see my car from, I wouldn't go grocery shopping) and I trained him that way which wasn't easy. But easier than leaving him home alone. So any idea what you'd do with him while you work at your little Starbucks job? Also assuming that you're still in highschool or maybe college, do you think this dog could be left alone while you're in school and working? Well, be prepared for your house to be chewed up. Or if you have an apartment, your neighbors and landlords ain't going to deal with the barking or destruction from his anxiety attacks. Think you're going to put it in a cage? Well, just watch and see what he does to himself by chewing and biting himself and how he pants so hard he dehydrates himself. Can you afford $20 a day for daycare or do you have someone you can leave him with all day? Hey, I hope so. Otherwise you'd be another irresponsible person that I hate who has to dump the dog at the pound because it was too much for you to handle. I hate people who buy the "cute little doggy in the window" without researching breeds. I got this dog from a pound when he was a pup, the thought of someone like that adopting him instead of me kind of made me sick. Now sure, you might get lucky with your dog that looks like mine. And you might assume he's like this because he's a pound pup but see.. that's the thing, you never know. Don't buy the cute little doggy in the window or in this case; in someone's backseat.
