Default makes me so angry!
I'm just going to rant

One of my good friends has 2 dogs. One is a very old white shepherd named Powder, and the other is a young blue heeler/lab/or something or other cross named Loki. They recently got the youngest about a year ago, maybe 10-11 months ago. Powder is OLD and she's been going down hill for a while. Everytime I see her she's worse. This time I visited for the first time in about 2 months, and she's awful. I wanted them to put her down months ago, maybe even a year ago because she's suffering. She's blind, and deaf, can barely walk, used to whine all day long and walk around aimlessly. Now she is starving to death because she's too weak to eat, although she stands over her bowl trying to drink and eat but only manages to eat a few pieces of kibble, yes kibble, not soft, easy stuff. She still walks around aimlessly, but now she pees everywhere, falls down with her legs spread out and can't get up. It's the saddest thing in the world, and when I see her I just want to snuggle her and make her feel loved. She's even too weak to whine like she used to and she looks emaciated. When I see her I want to cry. I tell them ALL the time to just put her down because it's cruel to watch her suffer, so finally they are doing it on TUESDAY. It's sad, but it's the best thing for this dog.

The other dog gets put in the back room, and outside and left there with barely any social interaction from anyone. He has NO training, jumps all over you and just wants love so he's super excitable when he sees people. THey get mad that he'sl ike that and says he's stupid, but it's not his fault. He barks, and whines in the back room all the time. I mean, they do visit him sometimes when they're in the back yard, but really he gets no intereraction with anyone. He hasn't even met very many people. My friend was outside with her little girl, and Loki jumped on her and started mouthing her hard all over her body. This could get worse, but they don't seem to want to take responsibility for their dog. They think feeding and watering the dog is enough. But really wants the point of having a dog if you're just going to feed it, let it mouth your child all over it's body to the point where the child is crying and you think the dog is mauling her, and just leave it alone the majority of the time. I don't think i'd be so angry if their other dog wasn't in the other room suffering.

Sorry, just makes me mad. Nothing I say to them does any good

Some people really should not own any living breathing thing. Especially something that can't speak up for itself.

So sad to hear that. Maybe they should take responsibility or give him up. I wouldn't want to be their dog.

Poor old dog! At least they're finally doing the humane thing...
Do you think maybe the younger dog was segregated because of the old dog?

Sorry, but your friends have no business having animals.
I would raise hell w/ them. There is No Excuse for letting that dog suffer for that long.

And let me guess, they won't be able to stay with the shepherd at the end because it's "too painful for them".

Well the mother made this comment "I don't want to be there when she takes her last breath. It will be too awkward" I don't even know what that means... but whatever. I'm just glad she'll be out of her misery by tomorrow. I am so sad because she's been such a good dog.

I've tried to raise hell with them, tell them that it's cruel, but they just make up excuses. I mean, I am not at their house all the time, so really I don't know how much socializing the male dog gets, but when I visit for the weekend he is in the back, never comes out, and they only go in there to do laundry... I am with my dog always. Even if she were an outside dog, i'd visit with her... not just do the laundry and practically ignore the dog.

It really makes me mad, I could go on for ever! When they first told me that they got a new dog (at a flea market no less) I thought they were kidding... but when I got there that weekend, sure enough there was this beautiful little fur ball with floppy ears. He was so cute, and SUCH a gentlemen. For a puppy he was so calm, and just wanted loving but wasn't pushy about it. He has this look in his eyes all the time like "I just want love" and he looks sad when he looks at people.

I go in to the back and I sit with him, and he'll come right in my lap, and push into me. I feel so awful for him, but glad at that moment that I am showing him some lovin! I think I will take him for walks whenever I go there. I used to feel like it would be rude to ask them to take him for walks, but I don't care anymore. They're so irresponsible. I bet he has no leash manners Poor guy!

Well the mother made this comment "I don't want to be there when she takes her last breath. It will be too awkward" wow....So she is only concerned with how SHE feels. Nevermind that her dog would be less-stressed if she would hold her while they PTS.... At least her suffering will end, it would have been Nice if they had the balls (or gave a shit) to take her much sooner.

Anyway, I'm glad you can be there for the pup & show him some love, I know he must be very lonely & bored. I bet he will eagerly wait for you Everyday in that laundry room.

So they get a dog on a whim - "oh look cute puppy! Let's get him!" Yet, they can't take Any time out of their busy lives to care for the pup? Put him in a room & throw some food in. What a great life. How can they even think that's okay? I don't mean to be rude, but your friends sound lazy and selfish.
It just gets on my Nerves So bad when people do this! Once the - cute & new pup "moment" wears off, the dog gets ignored & pushed away. (this is not just your friends, this happens a LOT)

*sigh* But, I would keep trying to get through 2 them. Thankfully the pup has you to love him~!

The thing that gets me, is that they aren't really busy. Someone is ALWAYS at home. They have time to take him out and visit with him, they just choose not too. He does not behave "properly" so they don't visit him. They're too annoyed of his behavior, but if they just stopped to think they'd know he behaves how he does because he is NOT trained because of their laziness!

Even as a pup they hardly spent time with him. It was the first week maybe that they would play with him and say how cute he was. Now to them he's just some big dumb dog. To me he's a beautiful, smart dog waiting to be taught something! He is SO handsome. Next time I'm there I will snap a pic!

Yeah, at least he can feel love when I am over there. He is so sweet, but it's sad when a dog with so much potential is just left there to be alone. He gets scared of the dark at night time too. Not so much now as he's used to it, but he used to growl the whole time, and whine because he was frightened. You would open the door and he'd bolt in with his tail tucked. You can't just throw a young dog out into the back and in the dark and expect it to be okay with that. They wonder why he always tries to bolt through the door when it's opened! UGH!
