Another reason people stink. (A Dog's perspective)

[spidermilk]

I can't even watch it! I dropped my dog off at the kennel last week before leaving for an entire week of vacation. I tried to very calmly walk out while he was still investigating all of the smells, but I still heard him giving a few barks when I was leaving. I called to check on him the second night I was gone! I don't know how someone could leave their dog forever!

I don't understand the callousness of people, I took my Cairn Terrier to the grromer on Friday, he is my heart dog, I mean he is a hairy shadow, he is never NOT underfoot no matter where I am, when he goes to the groomer I insist on picking him up and putting him in the cage before I leave, if someone tries to take him from me he will bite, when I came to pick him up a few hours later, I was heartbroken seeing him in his cage with his head on his paws and his face smashed into the corner of the cage so he could see the door open, it made me sad to know he was so miserable, of course the little monster attacks me with sheer joy when he comes out., but the thought of never going back to him and abandoning him is mind boggling, there is nothing on this earth more loyal than a dog, it is simply the ultimate betrayal.

How do I get this to work! I liked to group, but still can't view.

Yeah, when I drop my girls off to be groomed, I point and tell them to "Go with Her." And they do, but they all do the look over the shoulder -- "you are coming back aren't you?" And yes, leaving them there for two hours, and they bring them out and the dogs all act like I left them for six months.

I cannot imagine dropping a dog I care about off at a shelter or out in the street.

My daughter is at the house visiting. She says when I drive off in the morning Hondo watches me through the front window. Sad when you think of it.

I know sometimes there are legitimate and sad reasons why a dog has to be surrendered so this isn't about those dog owners. I just want to smack the ones that do it without a second thought and go on their merry way.

How long do those poor dogs pace, look out a window or stare at a door waiting for their owners to return before they realize no one is coming back? Breaks my heart.

The dog had a Positive outcome out of it all. The dog sadly came down with bloat while at the shelter. I volunteer saw and rushed him to the vet, he had surgery and was taken in by the humane society into a foster home, until he is adopted. I'm glad he is safe. What a horrible day though...

HaHa! I bet if you left them for 5 minutes, and came back you would get a great greeting!
