To not want my friend to get a dog ??

They have been and put down a deposit on a Springer Spaniel puppy, they collect him in 2 weeks time.

My friend works full time shifts and her hubby also works fulltime.

They are in serious debt but have paid over £300 for this puppy.

She has now started to drop hints about me popping in and letting the dog out, checking on it etc when they are at work. Or if I am not available asking her childminder to pop in.

Until this week I was supposed to be moving and my mate wasn't overly happy about it and I think this was one of the reasons why, along with the fact that I won't be here to be emergency childcare when her childminder lets her down (which happens often).

I told her today that I was no longer moving and she said she was pleased because she would of missed me .

I would love to have a dog, and dd2 is absolutly desperate for one, but we don't have one because at the moment it is not practical so I certainly don't want to become responsible for looking after hers.

it pisses me off what your friend is doing as i see another dog destined for a rehoming centre! her dog will be destructive esp as springers need stimulation as an intelligent working dog and will take forever to house train. let her know she will be coming in to torn cushions and shit everywhere every day!

poor poor thing.
