I own Timmy and Butters now, I’m the adoptive mother from Brantford, not Bramptom. My husband and I are like wow, it’s neat to see someone write about them and care about them. They are doing amazing! They are spoiled, and they have a little baby human on the way to take care of. I would love to send you pictures! Let me know, Erin and Scott.

They will be alright, and if you tell the rescue the full truth; they would probably allow Nef to see the lil fuzzbutts! I sure would! (hugs to you both!)

A wealthy client walks into your vet clinic with her dog. The woman asks you to put the dog to sleep. The dog is three of four years old and is in perfect health. You tell the woman that the dog is in good health and should have years of good, healthy life left, and ask why she wants it put to sleep. She replies, “I just got new drapes in my living room. She clashes with them.” How do you respond?

Yes, this was based on a real case of a real woman, a real dog, a real vet, and real drapes. I believe the original vet ended up adopting the dog, but it’s way too common.

I think that is enough to
assure she’ll be just fine

and oh yeah
as nasty as rachel is
she like kv gave ari
a gift most are denied

will-to-power

Let them go to Brampton.
It’s not about ARI
it is about what is best
for the pair bonded dogs.

oh, and i do entirely blame the owners for giving up their pet. its a lifetime commitment to adopt an animal (just like having a child is a lifetime commitment) and if someone is willing to drop that responsibility on a whim then it really speaks volumes about who they are as a person.

Having dogs is a major commitment, so I can certainly understand why someone would choose to give them up (sick and elderly or not). Dogs are marketed by popular culture as cute, fun accessories, and the reality is that most people are very susceptible to that sort of propaganda, and then get in over their heads once the initial charm wears off and the work required to care for them (and do the initial training) sets in. I’m not sure that I’d *entirely* blame the owners who give up the dogs, but no matter what, the dogs are the losers in the situation.

I will make my decision later today, but the good news is that there’s also a nice home in Brampton that’s willing to adopt them permanently, so in this case, no matter how it turns out, they should be happy dogs.

She’s gone through numerous dogs. She also had another chihuahua previous to these two cuties.
