Support for MegaP
I just wanted to show my support for MegaP. I'm sure she would have kept her dog if she could have, but sometimes people need to make hard decisions. She is looking out for the well-being of her family and I think that's wonderful. Cut her a break - support her decision (a hard one, I'm sure. I, too, have had to find loving homes for pets because of relocation).
Hang in there, MegaP!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Support for MegaP
I'm a total stranger from another state board, but I'd also like to extend my support to you. Life happens sometimes, and unfortunately you have to make tough choices. I'm very glad Maya will be heading to a great home where she can be happy and healthy. Healthier, perhaps, then neurotic Nesties who feel it necessary to pummel away with mundane repeated posts to try to make a point.
Obsessed much?
I'm from another board, but that was posted on one, so I read it...and...
I can't believe what people would say! Some people are on here to slam people down...but you are the only one that walks in your shoes, so as long as you found Maya a good home, who cares! That is what you were trying to do in the first place, not send her out of the street or kill her! Gah, people these days
Glad you found her a new home! Hope you will be able to visit her, she looks like a sweetie!
Drop something?

We are moving!
We sigined the papers today! While I am excited about the move I am also sad. We cannot take Maya (our dog) with us. I need to find her a great home before we move on the 22nd. If anyone is intersted or knows anyone that would be, please email me m.pagano84 at gmail dot com for more information and pictures.

We are staying in the same area (Maitland) but we are renting and they will not let us bring Maya with us. Maya is a Husky Mix. She will be a year in November. She is a great dog. Fully house trained and VERY kid friendly (we have a 1 and 2.5 year old) I need to find her a great home, where I know she will be taken care of.

How sad- why would you choose a place that won't let you have pets, when there are so many homes available for rent that will?
There are some very good rescue groups in the area, but, I've gotta say- it's a BAD situation out there for dogs in need of homes right now. The economy is ugly- and when it gets ugly- people start dumping their pets left and right. I think most groups are at their limits- but, may be able to work with you if you agree to foster her yourself. Poor Maya.

Why?????
i have to say, that's incredibly irresponsible of you.
not just that you are getting rid of the dog now, but that you knowingly brought a dog into your home when your future living situation was uncertain. unless you own a home or KNOW that you'll be staying in a place that allows pets, it is a horribly selfish decision to buy a pet.
how sad for maya.
from your bio you look close with either your parents or DH's parents. They wont take her and care for her until you can take her back?
Or maybe you can have your parents watch her some and you the rest of the week..... who really follows the rules of renting when they say no pets??

MegaP don't feel bad. Sometimes these things happen. Its no one's place to judge as they aren't in your shoes.
If these people feel so bad for the dog why don't they take her?
I'm sure its hard enough for you to have to deal with to have to add people's judgements who don't know you. Oh and don't pay attention to the troll he's just bored.
Sorry. Vent over.

Where did you get her from? If it was from a private rescue you need to contact them asap and let them know you are rehoming this dog. They have a responsibility and a right to ask you to place the dog with them and rehome her themselves.
I agree this is completely irresponsible. It never fails to amaze me at the complete and utter lack of care that people give to their pets. You get a dog, and you keep her for a year then decide you need a bigger house and get rid of her? I can understand wanting to save money on rent, but I cannot believe that you couldnt 1) find somewhere else to rent, or 2) offer a sizable "pet fee" to the owner to try to sway him into allowing a pet. I cant see too many home owners who are going to turn down a deposit in order to allow a pet, not in this market anyway. I would NEVER rehome my animals due to somewhere not allowing pets. I would keep looking until I found somewhere that allowed me to bring them. And there should never be a time when you have to choose between feeding your children or your pets. There are many rescues and even the Humane Society that offer free dog/cat food for people who are having difficulty feeding their pets.
Bottom line.....there is always a way to keep your pet. It may be the more difficult path to take, or it may mean sacrifice, but you made the commitment to her when you adopted her.

How irresponsible of you. When we moved, we didn't even consider places or neighborhoods who wouldn't accomodate our dog.
What a shame. I hope your dog goes to a family who truly loves her and doesn't see her as such an inconvenience.

Re: We are moving!
Yeah, they happen when an owner cares so little for the life they have sworn to love and protect that they intentionally rent a place that doesn't allow pets. And don't try to pull the "I have to chose between feeding my kids and feeding my dog" crap because I'm not buying it for a second.
Ooooh, say can you see...

Wow-you suck.
So your saving 500.00 a month by moving, but if you keep your dog, you can't afford to eat??
Why couldn't you find a place that would let you rent with a pet. Your being very irresponsible and pathetic.

Please don't adopt an animal ever again. If you can't commit to keeping it for the duration of it's life then you have no business owning a pet.
I hope that you can find a permanent home for your dog. One where he will never be discarded like a piece of trash again.
[My Bio]
New planning and married bio... almost done!
The more I think about this the madder I get. Why would anyone take a pet into their home with no intentions of keeping it.
Let me tell you something. When I was in grad school, my cat got diabetes. He also had thyroid problems and a host of other health issues. I literally spent thousands of dollars on this cat, and put his health needs before myself. So, I lived on Ramen and water. So what? The cat didn't ask to be taken into my house. I paid on that cat's medical bills for FOUR YEARS (even after I was out of grad school) to make sure he had the care he needed.
People like you suck. I hope the big karma mac truck hits you good during your life. Dogs, especially get attached to their masters. You should be ashamed of yourself! SHAME ON YOU!
New planning and married bio... almost done!
wow, I saw this post c&p'd on one of the national boards and honestly, I cannot believe that people can actually give away their pet. I can't even imagine my life without my dog and would sacrifice ANYTHING for him.
How can you not afford a dog if you are saving 500$ a month by moving? Honestly, I hope you never adopt another pet again, it's just not fair to the animal to love one family and then be taken away from them. Also, if you have to choose between feeding your dog and feeding your kids (if you kept the dog) then maybe you should not have gotten a dog in the first place.
I like to try and think that i don't judge people, but this is a circumstance in which I just can't not judge you.
Wow! I would love to have enough time on my hands to let the actions of other people affect me like that. You have no idea what her situation is. You have no idea why they have to move. So what right do you have to judge her on her decisions.

You should not buy a dog if there is a chance of you having to move anywhere but a permanent spot.

Getting rid of your pet because you've become seriously ill or something is understandable.
We aren't in the best place money wise, but I'd never get rid of my pets. They put their trust in us and love us. We work that much harder to make sure we can care for them.
How do you know where the dog will end up? In a home where its abused? In a shelter where its killed? What for? Just because the OP didn't think...

so you are saying that if she had posted she was getting rid of her pet because she was ill it would be ok...buy because her financial and housing situation changes it isn't ok...it is the same effin thing. She has a reason she needs to get rid of a pet and whether you think it is right or wrong isnt for you to decide.

Re: We are moving!
I cannot believe some of you are defending her!
she just said she is saving 500$ a month, so how can she not afford a dog? and if she did care about her dog, she would have found a place that allows pets. Pets are not disposable.
some people should just NOT have pets, and I have to wonder, for those of you defending her, would you give away YOUR pet?
The only situation I would not judge if someone had to give away their pet was a serious illness where they could physically not care for the pet. The poster's excuse is just selfish.
"At least you care about where your dog ends up. You obviously love her and are sad to parting with her."
This kind of statement makes me shake my head. Suggesting that she is a good/loving pet owner because she "cares where the dog will end up" is like saying she is a good pet owner because after she abused her dog she felt really bad. Just because she isnt dumping the poor baby on the side of the road, doesnt mean she is a responsible or even adequate pet owner. A responsible pet owner would exhaust every possible end before giving up a dog. And a responsible pet owner would probably not get a pet in the first place if they couldnt make a LIFETIME commitment to a pet. You can defend her "uknown situation" all you want. But I have seen people rehome dogs for little to no reason and say "but we had not choice." You always have a choice. Maybe its not the easiest road, or the most fun. But when you love and respect your pet you will do whatever it takes to fulfill your commitment to them.
Very very sad.

Ahhh, hey emmer... she's a SAHM who is now saving $500/mo on rent... I think that she can afford to feed her dog. god, even if you go get him purina instead of premium food i'd feel better for it... If you're "financially that strapped" you could get a job... what a thought. If we were in such a recession then u wouldn't be able to move and find a cheaper bigger place or be a SAHM. So, if it gets financially worse are you going to start selling your kids too???!! because you make the choice to have a dog &/or kids, it's the same thing! Times are tough, but family sticks together!
I made a promise to each of my girls the day i brought them home from the shelter that we would be together forever & I would NEVER let them be back in that situation again. I will stick by that for the rest of my life. I have lived in a place i don't particularly like to save up for a house becuz there were no affordable Pet friendly living I could find... so there are options. I'd live in a one room shack if it meant providing for my family as best i can w/o leaving anyone behind!!!!

Miss Keeva & Miss Belletayne, my Humane Society rescues:
I don't understand how it got to this point. So you want to move. You make a list. Needs: rent under $xxx, allows pets and kids, no more than 20 minutes from workplace Wants: more bedrooms, off-street parking
Then, you don't even consider places that don't meet your needs list. It's such basic common sense.
She didn't ask for your effin opinions. So go back to your boards and leave CFL alone!

And, you can't take your dog? YOU SUCK.
For the, "effin" obsessed poster....the word "effin" truly doesn't need to be used as much as you used it. It's a bit pathetic and, honestly, does not make you seem as cool as you think it does. And, you suck too for kissing the OP's ass. Cheers.

Wow! I would love to have enough time on my hands to let the actions of other people affect me like that. You have no idea what her situation is. You have no idea why they have to move. So what right do you have to judge her on her decisions.
The thing is, we do have a right to judge her decisions because we are the people who dedicate our lives to cleaning up messes that heartless idiots like her create. We are the people who spend all of our time and money saving dogs like the one she is dumping or not being able to save them and seeing them put to sleep. She goes along on her merry way like life is fine and dandy and we struggle every day trying to save the abused, neglected and dumped pets that someone "loved so much but had to get rid of because he didn't match the couch."
What she is doing is totally our business because it directly affects us. I really don't give a sh!t if she thinks she can't afford it. I've seen homeless people who feed their dog before they feed themselves. She's just looking for excuses to be so self centered.
Rocky has a thing for turning us into cartoons.
I'm pretty sure her posting on a public board falls under the category of wanting feedback/comments. If I was such a piece of shit I wouldn't post on a public forum about it. Honestly emmers, keep your stupid slob opinions to yourself then if you're asking us to do the same thing. Have you seen a dog get killed? Honestly seen it get put in a gas chamber and scratch till their nails are gone to get out?
I work at 3 different rescues and people like her are the reason why people like me work hour after hour for free to clean up the mess other people make. What I would give to have her 500/month saved in my pocket, but no, I do it for free so people like her can keep their pockets full and somehow fund a way to sleep at night. It's disgusting.

Yes, that is correct, she is a 23 year old SAHM with two kids. I continue to be disgusted by this thread.
Emmerjill, you need to stop posting in this thread because everything you write makes absolutely no sense and you have no argument whatsoever.
What she is doing is unjustifiable. There is nothing you can say or do to make what she is doing OK, so please, stop trying.
I just hope she realizes what a horrible thing she is doing. Shelters and rescuses are more overfilled than ever and she is just going to give her dog away when she is perfectly cabable of making her living situation one in which she could keep her dog.
To whoever said homeless people still manage to take care of their dogs, you are right. I see a ton of homeless people in my city who have dogs and the dogs have food, bowls of water and sometimes even a few throw toys. This woman is pathetic.
are you going to make me? this is a public forum... as pp have said...
whatever.

"make me" :P please, grow up.
Seriously people, take responsibilities for your actions. Don't post looking for sympathy because your selfish & stupid. Us Nest gals will have nooo mercy for that nonsense, esp the rescue gals!
Monkey see, Monkey do...
Miss Keeva & Miss Belletayne, my Humane Society rescues:
Emmer-pure and simple, you sound like an immature idiot. The fact that you are trying to defend the OP actions are ridiculous.
She's a SAHM. If you can't afford to take care of your children and your home and your bills and your pets, then she needs to work. Even if its waiting tables one day a week.
She got the dog, now it is her responsibility to care for the dog.
And your a teacher, Emmer? Do you teach responsibility to the kids you teach? I'm guessing not. I'm sure you are letting them slide when they do wrong.
Julia Grace
Feel happy and full of yourself all you want. You gave up what was your responsibility.
Now this poor dog is getting torn from his family because you are a douche. Because you feel entitled to be a SAHM even though obviously you can't afford it.
And to those supporting her, you are just as bad. How can you support a person who cannot accept responsibility? I think you should not have kids as I can't see you being good parents if you can't even see the wrong here.
agreed.
Don't ever ever EVER get another pet a again.
You make me sick.
I cant believe the poster above thinks its funny to take photographs of her dog carrying a beer bottle. Not to restate the obvious possibilities, but another is what if that bottle fell out and broke all over the place? Not only would your dog have broken glass all over it, but it would lick all the spilled beer off the ground. Geez! And you bash somebody's else's judgment?
umh, because I'm right there and watching him.....
I'm not the fool giving my dog up just so I can buy live in a bigger house.
Oh, for God's sake.
This whole fiasco happened because HG4U has been obsessed with the CFL board for months. Did you know that this post has been C&P'ed on a lot of boards.....even travel, S&R, TIP, F&B, 9 to 5, among others......??????This is about HG4U rallying support for her cause from people who aren't familiar with her work as we are. As if this mass flame-fest would have happened had this post appered on another local board....yeah, right.
Flame me, but I seriously doubt the troll even cares about the dog and is probably laughing its a$$ off over the indignant replies right now, knowing the joke is on CFL. Yes, I know a few local nesties flamed MegaP w/o HG4U's help, but that's fine b/c at least it didn't get out of control.
FWIW, I am an animal lover and I wouldn't consider getting rid of my cats just b/c I'm moving (which we are in 2 weeks BTW, we made sure our new nhome would be a good place for our girls as well as us) I do agree that it's a sad situation that MegaP had a dog she no longer wants, but the reality is not everyone is cut out to own pets. I respect MegaP for admitting this and attempting to find a home for her rather than just ditching her.
if it makes you feel any better, star ALWAYS takes the keys away from R when he drinks. no drinking and driving at her house!
blessings!Have you seen my monkey?
I must have missed the part where she admitted she is "not cut out to own an animal" because from what I have seen she doesnt seem to understand that it is her fault she "had" to rehome her animal. She chose to move somewhere that did not allow her pet, no one held a gun to her head. All I have seen from her is that she is happy to be moving, but the poor dog got in the way of this and needs to go. I would love to see her admit that she is an irresponsible pet owner, and that she wont be getting another animal. Can you c+p where she did this?
I agree, I am one of the volunteers who has to find homes for the dogs become inconvenient in thier families lives. It breaks my heart, because the statistics speak against "happy endings."
I am happy you found Maya a home, and I pray that the home you found is actually a FOREVER home, and not just a temporary home like the one you provided.
Oh and no I dont support her. Sorry.
Why you'd want to support someone who has no respect for another life - regardless of if it's human or pet - is beyond me. I guess it says a lot about those of you offering "support" too.
Oh, and it's "couldn't care less" MegaP. With all your newfound free time that you won't be using to walk a dog or care for its needs, I'd suggest studying up on your grammar.
Katie Talks About...
OP, I'm sure you feel bad. ?The karma bus is headed your way, but it's not too late to divert it. ?Make some good out of this situation and make sure that the next time someone you know wants to adopt a pet you tell them your story. ?Ask them what they would do if they had to move, if they had kids, if they started dating someone new who didn't like or was allergic to their pet, and on and on. ?If they don't answer that they would keep their pet, tell them not to get one. ?
?
And since you will be saving $500 per month, why not donate to an animal rescue? ?If you did $100 for five months that would still put you way ahead and would be a great thing to do in honor of Maya, the dog you let down. ?
?
And an FYI for everyone, if you fall on financial hard times, check with your local shelter or animal rescue. ?They would rather share some of their donated food with you than have you turn your animal over to them. ??
?
Olivia-Excellent post!
I wonder if MegaP is going to take some of that 500.00 a month and give it to the other family to help raise her dog.
And you are a F-ing liar MegaP. Your clearly said in your original post that if things were going the way they were going that you would have to choose between feeding your kids or the dog. Which means that you can't afford being a SAHM. I'd love to be one too, but I have to provide for my family and my pets which are my responsibility. Something you seriously are lacking in.
I hope the karma bus gets you good.
