Okay, have any of you heard of this show? It is basically a TV trainwreck that I cannot look away from. I'm actually embarassed to say I personally know one of them -- but I digress. My neighbor was a finalist as the new cast member in April of this year. They had gotten a pug puppy for Valentines day and when they found out they were a finalist they gave it away (to me) because someone else on the show already has a pug -- can you believe this method of thinking? Since most of the cast members on the show have small couture purse dogs, they thought they would get something bigger. She went to Lancasterbreeders.com and ordered up an Akita from an Amish farm, just in time for the taping.
To show how shallow they are, they came over the day before and her husband borrowed, tables, accessories and flower arrangements from me to "spiffy" up the house for television. The dog arrived just in time and they got lots of cute shots of the family with the mischievious puppy. Did I mention she has three kids under 5? Now who in their right mind would pick a puppy mill Akita to join a family with three kids? They found out in May that they did not make the final cut of the show. Guess what? They now want to get rid of the Akita puppy because it is crazy and bites the kids. Seriously what is wrong with people? I am so frustrated. Our daughters are best friends so I have quite a bit of contact with them. I already helped them out by taking the pug and finding it another home. Should I continue to help these people by placing the Akita or should I let them live with the consequences of their actions? I don't want to keep rehoming dogs for them, but I also cannot be too mean about it because I have an on-going relationship because of our kids. BTW, I can easily place this dog through GSD Rescue to the right kind of owner. Do I help them out?
