This is just a rant so I don't scream in RL.
Friend (DF) had two Cavalier King Charles, one of which died 2-3 weeks ago. DF has 3 young children and has been struggling for a while simply because they are young, they don't sleep well, they bicker, one is a baby, etc. Just usual stuff, but it's hard to cope with three under 5s.
DF was, understandably, very upset her dog passed away and wanted to get another one, ideally CKC, ideally an adult as she felt a puppy would be too much to deal with. I said I would keep an eye out for her through the dog club and the local dog warden who is a friend (we are not in the UK, dog rehomings are much less formal here), but it takes a while for the right dog to come up.
This morning DF announced that they have a dog. They went to see a litter over the weekend and the breeder said they should just take one so now they have a 5 week old (WEEK not MONTH) Border Collie cross some kind of Terrier. WTF?!!! I did tell her she should return the puppy but apparently that is not an option. She also cannot afford puppy classes which are 100 euros for six months.
The puppy had two ticks on it and I'll eat my foot if it has ever been wormed. The mother was too unwell to look after the puppies apparently, but we don't know why she was sick. She's taking it to the vets on Wednesday but I think she's in for a shock when she sees the bill for worming, flea/tick treatment, and future bills just for vaccinations and microchipping.
People are just thick as shit sometimes.
