their kids? I saw this ad on my local freecycle page, and was really irritated with these parents. At first glance, it seems like they should try to teach their kid how to act around the dogs, instead of just giving them away.
But on the other hand, at least they're trying to find the dogs a home, instead of driving them to the country and abandoning them.
We still have the dogs if anyone is interested.
Our family regrets that we need to do this but we have two very
loveable dogs that we are seeking a good, loving home for. Their
names are Abbie and Lexie. Abbie is a champagne colored shepard mix
about 7 years old and Lexie is an all black lab-chow mix about 4 years
old. Both are female and spayed and weigh in the 50 lb range. They
have had their shots and both are in good health.
Both of these dogs were the center of our attention until we had our
children and now they seem to be very unhappy because we can't give
them the time like we used to. Our oldest child (1 1/2 years)is
relentless in chasing and bothering them and we have a 3 month old
that will soon start this routine as well. Although they are not
aggressive, they are not happy and try to hide out most of the time
our son is around. We have decided in the best interest of the dogs
to see if we can try and locate a new home for them where they won't
be competing for attention, plus our family may relocate once I land a
new job and it wouldn't be fair to keep them housed in a kennel.
We have dog collars, leashes, dog dishes, about 150 feet of pet fence
and a basket full of toys. We would prefer that they stay together if
possible. They would do well in a family with children that are a
little older where they can get play time, but not be pulled on and
tugged at constantly, which is happening now with our 1 /1/2 year old.
