Takoda - Blind but- doesn't know it
 |
 | | Barked: Wed Jul 1, '09 6:37pm PST | |  | |  | | We've had several people, some strangers, tell us that the best thing we could do for Takoda was Put Him Down. He's blind and has Diabetes Insipidus. My reply was usually a lot more harsh then yours and I would just ask them, When your parents get old, are you going to put them down. Suppose they go blind, or you go blind, can I give you the needle. That usually shut them up and, I'm sorry, I have no pity or respect for someone like that.
People, even so-called friends, can be harsh and stupid with their comments when it comes to something they know nothing about. If they can't take the first hint you give them and continue to push the subject, I'd have to ask myself if they are truly a friend.
Good luck with the raw diet and a prayer things turn out right. |  |  | |  |

Somewhere there- is something I- can eat.. |
| | Barked: Wed Jul 1, '09 8:26pm PST | | | | | | You've gotten some great responses already, but I wanted to add my 2 cents. You are a good pawrent and I agree with the others who said that I probably would have been harsher with her than you were. Hugs for you, and always for Pi. Ignore your friend.
As far as quotes go, I'll leave you with my favorite:
"The more people I meet, the more I like my dog." | | | | |

Zoey
Better than I- was
|
| | Barked: Wed Jul 1, '09 10:10pm PST | | | | | | Zoey has epilespy , which I knew about when I got her from the shelter. She has some brain disfunction as a result of undermedication, ah well. She also has a thyroid thing going on where she loses hair on her sides, sometimes it comes back, other times, well, not so much. BOL. I get funny looks sometimes and some incredibly stupid comments, but really look at the source. Thankfully I come from a large family of severe dog-aholics, and my choice to allow her to be the healthiest, happiest dog makes prefect sense to them. | | | | |

Droolin' for- Doolin |
| | Barked: Thu Jul 2, '09 1:06am PST | | | | | | Now I know why you put quotation marks around the word "friend!" Ugh! May I suggest, the next time someone starts to get nasty like that, cut them off and let you own feelings be known. Right up front, let them know that it's a touchy subject, that you know what you're doing, that the dog is happy and you're not asking for opinions at this time.
Some people are not dog or pet people, they just don't get it. Some people really like to push their opinions about things out there, let the chips fall where they may. That was some BIG TIME stepping on your toes. Next time, I hope you take better care of YOURSELF and cut the person off before they get to you. I'm very sorry that you were in this situation, and I really hope that a raw diet will make a quick change in your pup's health. Be proud of yourself for the diligence and determination you are displaying in caring for your pup! Every pet deserves a "mom" like you! | | | | |

BUT more then one person in mom's family and dad's has told them to have me put down, that I'm not worth the money, or that I am not happy, blah blah blah.
I hope you feel better soon
