[QUOTE="heavy, post: 933437, member: 5620"] Just had a conversation with a woman I work with. She was telling me the issues she'd had over the years with their old dog. Me: "Is it a rescue dog?" Her: "Yeah" Me: "Well there ya go".... It's like getting a new vacuum cleaner that, every time you want to turn it on to vacuum, you have to twist this screw and jiggle this little lever, and sometimes the hose falls off and spews dust all over. Why not just buy a working vacuum...awww, but they were going to throw it in the dump if I didn't buy it for 60% off. Her: "well not all rescue dogs have issues" Me: "They don't have to all have issues. If 95% of them piss on the floor or have separation anxiety, that's enough" If you want a dog that pisses on the floor when someone pets it, go rescue a dog. If you want a dog you can train to be how you want it, a healthy dog, go get a new puppy. We euthanize over 500,000 a year in the U.S. You aren't saving the planet buy not rescuing a dog. Watch the nature channel, horrible things happen to animals every day all over the world. It's not your fault. There's nothing wrong with rescuing a dog, just understand you're probably buying a broken vacuum. There's nothing heartless with getting a new puppy, you're just saving yourself a lot of hassle.
