Years back, a woman rang my bell. SHe was standing at my front door with a golden. I asked her if I could help her, and she replied that she was told that I had a few dogs and would probably take her golden. (I had three GSDS) I asked her why she wanted someone to take her golden, and told her that I just owned a few dogs of a different breed. I wasn't a rescue organization. She replied that she was pregnant. Then went on to say that She and her husband got the dog to see if they were ready to have a family, and when they determined that, she got pregnant and no longer needed the dog. Having a dog and a baby would be too much work. I will say, it took my totally off guard, and I guess you could say what I said next was totally rude, but I just couldn't help myself. I REPLIED: So, Will you get rid of the child when it becomes too much work? I then said, call Golden Rescue and closed the door. The Images still burn in my head. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
