A lot of posts on Facebook popping up about people looking to rehome their dogs.  I guess they needed companion during COVID but with everything reopening they no longer need them.  This is the real problem.

They'll probably be the same people to get their kids a new puppy for Christmas

Most shelters are over capacity right now.

It shouldn't surprise anyone. A lot of people are just pieces of poo who waste good oxygen.

I have a feeling the dog I posted in this forum needing a new home is from a similar situation. Pretty sure they had an older dog who recently passed and they immediately got this one- probably way too soon before they were ready.

But, while we can talk about it all day, the fact of the matter is the dog needs a new home and I'll do whatever it takes to help find one, regardless of what I may think about the owners.

Anytime someone gets shot, the media claims it's an AR or a Glock. 

Case in point.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/capitol-riot-suspect-wife-were-111434519.html

"During the search of Kenyon's car, deputies found an AR-15 rifle and a Glock handgun, KOLO reported."

Had there been a dog there there's a 100% chance it would've been called a pit bull in this article.

I'm here as well. I've had dogs my entire life and I have two older dogs currently. I love them very much but once they pass I plan to stay pet free for a good long while. 

I hear you. I am older than most of you guys and it worries me to think my dogs may outlive me (2) and I wonder about their future. No one else in my family to take care of them.

Find a local rescue group that you like and trust. Talk to them. I bet they'd have no issue having you will your dogs to them in the event of your passing giving you peace of mind that your four legged companions will be well taken care of if that were to happen.

Going back to the original question about cost...I paid $1,200 for my dog back in 2013.  After that experience I think I'd be willing to go up to $1,600 for a special situation (whatever that might be at the time).  

I only did that because my chick at the time was highly allergic to dogs, but for whatever reason that particular animal worked for her.  These days I'd probably pick up one of the many dogs available by other means who are waiting for a good home (like the rescues discussed here).

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
