 BUSTER HAS TO BE PUT DOWN :(

I FREAKING HATE SUMMER!

summer is my lest favorite time of year..my mom gets out and does our land and stuff which is great for her..but now that she made this new flower bed thing buster our old dog dug in it and now she says she is putting him to sleep she is tired of dealing with him.

then she wants to get rid of my dog Callie, the newest puppy our Doberman Harley and and our bird as well as she is getting rid of my chinchilla and my hamsters,

she’s getting rid of all the dogs except 2 because the english bull dog is a house dog and tuffy is the freaking wonderdog or so she thinks..he mean if i ever saw a mean dog.

Callie she thinks is stupid because she hates female dogs and because Callie turned out not to be the pure breed blue heeler she wanted...oh freaking well she’s my dog.

the Doberman she wants gone because he likes to wine..like most puppies...he wines and sit out side all day..which getting rid of him would be good as he needs someone who understands his energy level..she wont let me walk him because she thinks if we walk him or socialize him he will like people and run away..since after this year i have no choice i would like to see him go to a good home...she cropped his ears and did nothing as far as keeping them posted to go up..so now he has flopped and cropped.

it just makes me mad she would rather trade my old dog of 13 yrs life for her stupid flowers and then gets rid of all my animals except the ones who 1 don’t do anything or are mean to guard the house.

I just want to know does anyone have any ideas to try to talk her out of not getting rid of my old dog or my dog?

my mom and i are not very close so i cant reall talk to her about it as all she tells me is o well the dogs that are going are useless- foul words- and if it was up to here my dog Callie at 4 yrs and buster would be both put to sleep.

Flat out tell her that when you take in a dog, that dog becomes your responsibility, and it is your responsibility to give it a loving home (TRUST ME, I KNOW you LOVE your dogs!), WALK/EXERCISE it, feed it, play with it, etc. Walking and playing with your Dobie is strengthening the bond between you two, which makes it less likely to separate from you. Also, just come out and say, "Mom, how are a couple of flowers more important that my best friend?"
ON THE OTHER HAND, it’s YOUR job to provide proper accomodations. Your mom can’t keep you from playing with a running your dogs. If you have to, get up at 5 a.m. or before she’s up and run them. You have to work around obstacles when you are a pet parent. You do have quite a few dogs, but they deserve you and I think you should keep them, they’re already bonded with you. Also, if Buster is getting in your mom’s flowers, then get him a kennel, pen, gate, etc. OR, for the better option, fence in your mom’s garden. If she loves her flowers, she’ll know that rabbits, birds, etc. will get in their too, so she should really fence it off. But just keep bonding and playing with your dogs and show her how responsible you are. Ask for a 3 month trial. In those 3 months, teach your dogs the basic obedience commands; sit, down, off, stay, and come. On the plus side you are guaranteed the dogs for at least the summer, and if you can’t impress her, discuss placement options instead of putting them down. What about keeping one or two at your BF’s house?
GOOD LUCK, we’re always here for you!!!!
Luv always,

well harley i want to go to a new home..she has resorted to putting a shock collar on him when he wines...as well as he just sits outside all day...im going to be working so it’s best for him to find a better place.

my boyfriend will take Callie if anything but i would rather her stay with me as she is a one person dog. Callie and tuffy are in a kennel when im not home so they are covered and i don’t even think it’s buster digging in my moms stuff as he just started doing it which he has been around them for 5 years now...the people about 1 mile down the road have a dog who roams and she has gotten in our trash as well as dug up our stuff last year so while she wont believe me i can be pretty positive it’s not even our dog doing it cuz it is fenced off so buster stays away from them.

yea callie and tuffy i run during the summer everyday but she gets mad because she thinks it will make them wana run away. Callie has to have a good run or walk otherwise she gets all this hound bulit up so i try to walk her as much as possible. harley i would love to walk he’s a sweet dog but i cant really get him b4 they wake up as he sleeps next to their bed in his crate.

Buster has a pen but he is not in it as she has harley in it during the day.

my mom though i don’t get since i moved out of town we have gotten rid of many animals due to the fact that she is obsessed with making our house look perfect

the horses and the cow- gone due to the fact that they would eat the grass on the wrong side of the fence

1 bird- gone because he did not like her

soon to be if she gets her way

1 dobie-too much for her..but probably all the better for him

as for keeping them for the summer she called the vet and made the appointment for buster to be put down by next Wednesday at the latest..so i don’t have much time to fight for him

1 old dog-he digs or so she says

1 callie dog-she stupid and not pure breed...dumb..cuz she’s not stupid she just needs something to do

i have just 7 more months at home after that im gone if i can at least fight for callie one more school year i will be good as gold.

... How old are you? Move out if you’re old enough. Otherwise it’s technically your mother’s property and, therefore, it’s her choice if she thinks the dogs are too much responsibility or not. If the dog she wants to kill is old, tell her to wait so she has time to cool down and during this time you should find a way to keep your dog away from the garden. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Your mother said she was putting the dog down because she was upset. All that garden work and money she put into it was gone in one session of digging. That would be frustrating to anyone.

If I was you instead of me, I would give Buster and Callie to the Boyfriend (well, maybe just Buster for now) and call the vets and personally cancel the appointment...then you’re basically untouchable. If you’re like 18 or older, you can take the dog to your boyfriends, and visit him as often as you can, and then during those 7 months, get a job if you don’t already have one, and work really hard to earn money so that you can take all your dogs with you when you move out. That’s what I would do.

you have to remember my b/f already has 3 dogs so he can only take one..i’ve been working i can only work during the summer though because during the winter my mom makes me quit because she does not like me driving the 15 miles town.

i think that’s why i am so adamant about keeping my dogs as being the only teen up where i live is lonely and my dogs make it easier and keep my company

man oh man i feel so bad for you. if i lived in wyoming i’d take those dogs in until you moved out in a heartbeat. do you have any other relatives or friends that would be willing to help? also, if u can get your license and a cheap car that would prolly help because then if they stay with someone you could visit them more often. i wish i could help. parents like that really anger me.

No offence to your mother or yourself
But did she not buy him for you?
Did she not exleast think of the needs his breed should have?
Why the funk would he run away after liking people?
Does she want a Dobbie to be vicious?
Like most motherfer’s have made them out to be and given the breed a bad name
Also whats wrong with cropped and floppy my Kimba she was cropped and floppy
If i didn’t live in norway i would take him am wanting another Dobermann

no she bought him because she wanted another dobie...we had one once when i was like 5.

i told her before she even sought out a breeder that the breed is hyper and needs LOTS of activity..she said if it’s raised in a calm home it will be calm..i said well it will still need walked and socialized she said walking it will make it want to run away as it knows there is more environment to explore..her logic is loco...she wants him not to be around a lot of different people...she thinks that’s where i went wrong with callie because she likes people and will go up to just any one....lol i like my dogs to people friendly.


nothing is wrong with it i think it’s kinda cute but i liked his floppy ears..she had them cut off just to let them flop again is what makes me mad.

lol he is so funny when i get home i sneak him out of his outdoor pen with my dogs when we play ball and excersise..he is still clumsy so his legs can keep up with his brain..he constantly falls

Im glad you told your mum but am annoyed at her because as usual the parents are always right you know?
As you say your mums logic is loco it is good that Callie is like that and is ashame that she wont let Harley be like too
His stumbling reminds me of Nelly but she couldnt help it
Funny when it happens though dont you think?
