Cassiar, the huskey

[animal lover]

I know this girl who got a huskey puppy (called Cassie) a year ago. She did the 4-H Fair with her in dog obidience. Cassie did wonderful. Next years step is to take your dog off the leash. Cassies mommy said that you can't take her off the leash, so her daughter was really dissapointed. Cassie also has, what they call, a "barking issue". Cassie barks a lot, because she isn't getting enough attention from her family. They used an inhumane shock color on her, but she still barked. So, now, they want to get rid off her because, 1-she barks 2-she can't compete in the 4-h fair.

I was sooooo mad when i heard. They are giving her to this lady who has eight other dogs, and who keeps them under horrible conditions (to my belief). They are getting their new dog tommorow (only two days after getting rid of Cassie) from the Pet Refuge. I volentiered there for a while, and keep up to date with new arrivals and adoptions. I know all of those dogs there, and I can't stand to ssee them go to them.

I talked to them over the phone, trying to convince them not to get a dog. This is the summary of the conversation:

Me:so, why are you getting rid of Cassie?
Them: oh! shes such a nuisance, and she can't compete in fair. we hate that dog.
Me: well, cant you teach her how to stay off the leash?
Them: oh, definatly not!! huskeys are the dumbest of dogs, the first thing they say about huskeys is they'r competely disobidient
Me: they arent dumb!!! didn't you research on huskeys? if thats the first thing that it says about huskeys, and you "knew" she was going to be a nuisance, why did you get her?
Them: she was a gift
Me (yea right!!):okay....
Them: yea, so we're getting a new dog. a corgie
Me: wat if itll be a "nuisance" to?
Them: oh! it wont!!
Me:how are you so sure
Them: we just know! corgies are such wonderful, smart dogs
Me: thants wat you said about cassie when you got her
Them: no we didnt.....
Me: im not going to argue anymore about this...

ect.....you get the point

They also "ridded" of their rat because they said she was mean. That wasn't true, and she only bite because that family wasn't spending enough time with her.

They also got rid of their wonderful horse, Prince, because he couldn't compete with the girl riding him.

I hope Pet Refuge doesn't give them a dog. Im gonna die of they do.

That's terrible! I can't believe anyone would do that!

[animal lover]

i know. these people are so incredibly ignorant. they are getting one of my favorite dogs from the shelter i hate it when people treat their animals like property

im glad u agree

[blackrose]

Oh my gosh! How could anyone do that? Animals do have feelings. Heck, humans are animals!!

[animal lover]

if only ppl would admit it! they think they are so special having two legs... animals are at least truthful beings, and dont intentionally do bad things

[Evangeline]

Yeah, animals can love unconditionally and be loyal to each other, and if we were more like them, the world would be a better place.That's so sad.....*clenches fists* Some people....

[animal lover]

she just got her new dog, abigal. im gonna die. i actually know her! she was there when i volenteired at that Pet Refuge. she's a corgie + german sheperd mix. im killing the girl. Abigal will probably be thrown out after the family finds some little flaw in her. And Abiligal is such a sweet dog!! to think a girl like that would adopt her.

[Evangeline]

Geez! Someone should ban them! I know they can't really do that, but still! Abigal sounds like a really nice dog, and its a shame and a waste that she would go to those kind of people.

[animal lover]

yea, really! i cant believe the volentiers actually let her haf abigal

[animal lover]

well, well, well. guess what. u probably dont even haf to guess! They're starting to get tired of Abigal and just a couple days ago, the girl of the family said "oh, she's settling in fine. but....oh, never mind. whatever. lets talk about those cute little puupies me friends and i saw yesterday. my mom wants one......." CAN U BELIEVE IT?? and then they'r getting another rat. and u know how the first story went.....gosh!!!!!

[shepherdlover]

Thats horrible! If they had done there research on huskies, they would have known what to exspect. I have a friend who has huskies, and they are sooo intelligent! Sometimes wqhen they are ties outside, they break off there leashes, but they stay right around untill my friend or her family get home. My friend sometimes brings her husky Zenon over to my huse to play with our dog Taz. She can be off the leash.

No dog is dumb. Its the way you train them that makes them that way. Some dogs have a harder time learning, but they all can be taught if you have the time and patience.

[animal lover]

Thats exactelly what I said!!!! Actually Huskeys are one of the smarter dog breeds. They're also wonderful family pets. People who think otherwise are just crazy!

[Scooter]

Oh my gosh how could someone be so ignorant I can't even say how angry that makes me!!! They should not judge a dog by it's breed , yes some breeds are more protective than others but that is not bad. Huskies are very obediant dogs they pull sleds in alaska and stuff and they are like the best dogs!! If anything the dog should have gotten rid of the people!!!

Man They are reall jerks!!!

[animal lover]

definatly!

[shepherdlover]

I agree with you. And yes, huskies are very smart dogs. Grrr. It makes me so angrey when I hear about people who do stuff like that...
