I'm so ****** off right now that I don't know what to do.
This situation goes back several years ago, when I shared an apartment with another girl, Amy. She's one of those spoiled types who gets everything from daddy, and he actually payed me to be her roommate and keep an eye on her.
Well Amy decided she wanted a dog, and got an adorable little puppy. Of course after she got the attention from all her friends over the puppy it became clear that that's all she wanted him for. So when the friends were gone the dog was treated horribly. She would leave him out on the balcony at night in the freezing cold and I couldn't stand it so I started taking care of the puppy. Naturally the puppy was terrified of her, so when the friends came over he didn't play his role of affectionate puppy with her, and that made her mad at me.
It was unfair for the puppy to live with us under those conditions because when I'd try to take it out for a walk, or feed it, she would get so mad! Well I found out that our apartment complex didn't allow dogs, so I anonymously reported us, and we got notice to get rid of the dog or move out. She refused to let someone take the puppy for free because she wanted her $800 back. When we got the second notice she agreed to let the pup go to a friend. I moved out shortly after.
Anyway, I lost touch with her but we have a couple friends in common still. One of them told me that a few years after we lived together she got a husky puppy. Naturally the selection was based on looks and puppy cuteness and not for actual love of the dog. But my friend assured me that she had matured and that in her new house the dog would be well cared for. I insisted that he talk her out of getting the dog, but when she wants something she gets it. She's had the dog for 3 years now, and I hear he's a really good dog. That made me happy.
Well two months ago my friend told me that Amy is moving to Miami now. No big news to me, until a few days ago he tells me she's getting rid of the dog because he won't be able to handle the heat!
I know people who have huskies in Florida, and with proper care and a big air conditioned house like she's getting (6 bedrooms), he'll be fine. I searched the web for more info and sent him links to pass on to her.
He told me she isn't taking her dog because she found someone else to take him. Well that's nice, but the poor thing just grew up with you as his best friend and now you're gonna ditch him? I thought about it and calmed down a little thinking that maybe it's better this way for the dog. I thought maybe she's over her dog thing and just wants to be petless.
Then the phone call from my friend. She's buying a bulldog puppy!!! :censor::censor::censor:???Bulldogs are really fragile in heat! I told him that if she was concerned about the heat, not to get a bulldog. Well she wants a bulldog and one of her friends told her that because they have short hair they can tolerate heat well. I've ranted and raved, but what can I do?
Ugh... pets are just disposable to her and it makes so upset. I wish there was a blacklist for pet ownership. Sad thing is she has the money, and someone will sell her a puppy.
