I'm so angry about my friend

so angry with her I've had to ignore her calls because I might say something I regret.

She and her husband have behaved so irresponsibly. Their dd has been begging for a dog. They went to look round a local dogs home (which is really a fucking pound) they came away with a dog that had only just been brought in. No quarantine or assessments!! They have 4 young children ffs!

A few days later they had to take the dog to the vets because it was clearly unwell. Turns out it had kennel cough.

One week later they decide a dog isn't for them because of the vets bills, chewing, shit etc and take the poor thing back to the bloody dogs home!!!

Poor dog! Been dumped at pound. Taken to a strange home. Then dumped back at pound. I can't imagine how stressed the poor thing has been.

Why the hell do people think it's ok to treat a dog like this?!

We have been friends for 10 years but don't think I can look her in the face again.

We are taking our dog on his own special holiday! We have all had separate holidays this year - I've been riding, DH has been climbing and DS 1&2 have been away with their respective friends ( all at different times, so Dog din't need kennels). So DH and I will take dog to a cottage so he has a holiday too. There is much more fun to be had on the beach, at the pub, going for walks if he is with us. If we do want to go out for a posh dinner on our own he will be quite happy for one evening to be left on his own.

Agree with Ephiny about not understanding resenting a dog for restricting a holiday - we love camping with our dog and she loves (she sneeks into our 'bedrooms'!)

We love being with her as much as she does us. She is part of our family .

Shame families have dogs when one or some of the family are not on board with it . As much a responsibilty as children.
