Okay, I thought I was better about this after talking it out with my mom earlier, but I’m not. And hey, maybe I’m the one who’s wrong about this, but I think not.

 

So here we go, it’s a rant, so if you don’t want to read, that’s fine, but I seriously had to get it out somewhere, I’m just so….furious!!

 

My sister has a lovely Doberman named Regina, she’s had her since she was a little puppy, small enough to hold with one hand. My sister has had her for over five years now, and today I just learned she got rid of her. Her Regina! That dog was her best friend, the two were inseparable, and Regina see’s my sister as her whole world. Apparently Regina growled or snapped at her son who’s about a year old who has begun ‘petting animals’ rather hard, he most likely hit her to hard and she protested. I can see why, when he was over once he hit my cat Tsume so hard I actually heard the contact sound a room away, and when I told him ‘No! Gentle!” which I know he knows what it means, he gave me a dirty look.

 

But that’s not the part that pisses me off, they got rid of her, just like that. To her husband’s brother mind you, but even so, he even lives in a place that doesn't allow large dogs like that! What are they thinking!? Few things in this world piss me off more than people who get rid of/neglect their pets for any reason, she barely got any attention at all these days, which I get…to some extent, they are first time parents. But treating companion animals like they're a disposable commodity? When you bring an animal into your life, you are making a commitment to care for them for the duration of their lifetime. Dogs especially are highly social creatures with deep emotional connections and bonds to their pack, which is the family they are a part of. When they are taken away from their pack, it's deeply hurtful to them. Is it always convenient or easy to care for them when you have kids to look after as well? No, but they are YOUR responsibility, the same as your children are. And what bothers me the most is they weren't even willing to try, to try and correct their son’s behavior or Regina’s, but simply get rid of her.

Now her husband always wants a dog in the house, oh really!? You don’t think that will happen again? What are you going to do, get rid of them too?? Because it's to much work, is that it?

I feel so bad for Regina it’s heartbreaking, she is so sweet, I know she would never, ever hurt him, she’s so protective oh him, I know she wouldn't. But it doesn't matter apparently. Now they just have two horses that haven’t left their property or been ridden in over a year, they stand there like lawn ornaments. And yet one is still underweight.

I just….ah. I love my sister, truly, but this is so low, so lazy. They say “oh well maybe we’ll get her back when the kids are older.” She has a girl on the way, so what, 4 years, 5!? Will she be your dog? Will he even be the same after this!? 

 

I remember dog-sitting for her, and I remember the look on her face when my sister wold come home after 3 days of being gone, it was pure joy. And I also remember her heart-broken look when she left, and how distraught she was at night because my sister wasn't there.

Now it will be every night, that that poor, sweet dog will feel that way. And if they visit, she'll think they're taking her home, but they never will...they'll just leave without her, again. And she's so smart, there isn't a shadow of doubt in my mind, that this won't crush her.

 

It’s just…cruel. It breaks my heart. I just can't believe, my sister, would do that. Just go along with it, and not even try for Regina's sake. I realize how important their son is, but wasn't Regina important too? Wasn't she apart of your family?

 

And my sister just told me…and shrugged it off when she gave me the news, and moved on.

<sub>She was just so calm. I just don’t understand.
I just think..."If you won't even try to care for a pony you've had for 9 years, and a dog you've had for 5, and you neglected them both, why will your children be any different?"



I just don’t understand why she wouldn't even try.</sub>
