Last night BS11 was sitting with me on the couch and says, mom my dad says that if L, the dog he got about a year and a half ago, doesnt stop being aggressive with her food thery are going to have to get rid of it. He was so upset.

In  the last 4 years they  have gone through 1 cat adopted and then given away, 3 lizards...given away. Gotten 3 birds-1 died, put to sleep the dog he insisted on getting in the divorce because it peed in the house. They got L 5 days later . Put to sleep his wives dog after it bit her... and 3 other people previously including ss18 twice. He got new puppy 3 weeks later.

The poor kid still gets upset about the dog we had..

Some people should not have animals.

Some people DEFINITELY shouldn't have animals... I can't imagien going through such a high volume of pets so fast... It honestly sounds like poor trianing and animal care. One animal, maybe it was agressive, but all of those? REALLY doubtful that it wasn't the environment they're being subjected to.

That was my first thought as well. It sounds as if they are horrible pet owners. Ugh. I hate that crap. 

Our cat was having issues with peeing in the house. We spent countless dollars fixing the problem. Isn't 100% fixed but better.

When I had the dog I always made him wear a belly band. His breed is notorious for potty training issues. He could be outside and come in.and poop. You had to watch him like a hawk.

 

I got the girl dog in the divorce and she is pretty good about out side... that said when you have 2 inch long legs  there are a lot of variables,  rain, snow, I the grass too long. Because I take her out on a leash it is very easy to monitor what is done...lol. we are all crazy about her so as long as she is happy that is all we care about...very spoiled princess.

The dog was not the brightest...but He was very sweet... I wish I could have taken him back.

 

I cringe whenever they get a new animal.

I so understand. I sometimes wonder if the skids think that their mother will ditch them the way she ditches her animals. I can't keep track of all the different dogs and cats that she's had as pets and then given away. It's been more than 7 in the past 7 years I've known DH. I asked DH about all the pets they had together before they got divorced and it isn't a pattern that started at divorce. Both DH and her had like 6 cats they adopted/owned during their marriage. They would get rid of one for whatever reason and immediately adopt another, just to give that one away within a year.

I don't understand it at all. I grew up with one family dog that we had for 15 years. I adopted my friend's dog, whom I've had for the past 7 years (my parents love him to bits and he has extended stays with the grandparents which works out well for everyone). I could never imagine giving up my dogs and if I had to, I would probaby be really reluctant to get another based on that. I don't know how she can go through animals the way she does. At least DH (when not with his ex-wife) doesn't get animals in the first place because he doesn't want to take care of them. If I knew that he would do the same thing on his own, I'd be so repulsed.
