I can walk out of the store with $200.00 worth of stuff that would cost me $100.00 just five years ago. That was freaking yesterday. Gas is also $3.21 a gallon!! It's too damn expensive.

You don't get rid of your baby when you don't have time for it too. I lost my dog a year ago and I want another dog soooo badly but I can't at this point with my job so I can't get one at this point, its not fair to them or to myself and I'm only doing it for selfish reasons. I'm doing it for myself and not for the dog.

      On the weekends I hardly see their vehicles. I know their dogs are crated most of the time. They don’t walk them and don’t take them anywhere. I only know the dogs live there because I see them looking out the window when the owners are home.

    Here is another idea, why not find a roommate who is vetted to take care of the dogs when she is gone. Give them a discount on their rent. She can save money on her dog sitting and create a more stable home for the dogs. The bonus is that her home is not empty for 50% of the year and is more secure. Otherwise, she should probably rehome them, but she needs to be super careful about who she rehomes too.

    I know a few people who are living in poverty with multiple pets. Two of them had homes that smelled so bad that I would not even sit down. One who had four while living in an RV, who almost had her child taken away from her from how dirty they made her RV. She had to solicit her family and local church for money to get it professionally cleaned every couple of months in order to keep her child. It never occurred to her to get rid of one of her pets. She was offended when the idea was suggested to her. I knew another woman who was up to her eyeballs in debt, who was having her wages ganrished, who already had a cat and two dogs, and was thinking of getting another 1000$ specialty breed. Thankfully her sister talked her out of it. There is nothing wrong with loving animals, but if you can't function with them, then either don't buy them, or make the decision to give them away. I think that some people would be better off if they could learn to accept that hard truth.

    I feel this is almost cruel on the dogs. If you cant properly maintain dogs or any animals, please dont get them. They are a responsibility, not a luxury

    I don’t think it’s fair to ask a friend to home your dog part time without pay, and frame it as a favor to them.

    She never should have gotten a dog to begin with if you travel a lot for work. Some people need to accept they’re not pet people. This just boils down to selfishness.

    Have not got another dog due to the cost of boarding and being tied to our home because of dogs… never again…

    As far as the dog's happiness, they go to a pet sitter's house which for them is no different from the co owner Rachel suggested. It sounds like the caller really loves her dogs and is sacrificing for them. So many people chain their dogs up or leave them to cry in the back yard all day. Boarding is a huge cost. One thing the caller might do is find a boarding situation similar to military deployment. Theres a place in northwestern virginia that charges extremely reasonably for 3 months at a time. They take amazing care of the dogs. It might be worth the callers while to research such places. There must be a solution that doesnt involve rehoming.

      She’s doing her best but sometimes your best isn’t good enough. She’s abusing these dogs by not providing a home.
