I've posted about this on here before in another thread and been given a hard time, but am I really being unreasonable?
My parents bought a 3 month old, large active dog breed puppy a few weeks ago, because, and I quote, "they were bored not seeing their grandchildren in lockdown". Now, the grandchildren seem to be back visiting (following rules isn't a strong point of my parents) and they are going to rehome the puppy. The breeder of course won't have it back, so its going to be dumped at a rehoming centre most likely. They will make up their minds this week.
The puppy nipped one of the grandchildren. And it makes a mess and they're tired of cleaning it up. And my parents also spend around 5 months of each year out of the country, either at their holiday home abroad, or on foreign holidays. How they thought they would be able to provide a suitable home for an active puppy that needs walks (they don't like walking even to the shops) or training, I do not understand. DF doesn't even like animals at all.
They have form for buying things, getting bored with them quite quickly and selling them. But treating an animal as a disposable consumer item disgusts me. I'm so annoyed with them, and told them so, but they just talk over me and pay no attention. They have talked about buying a smaller puppy at some time in the future instead. I think the puppy will be sent to a rehoming centre some time this week. They've had her just over a month...
