so i feel as though i'm surrounded by irresponsible people. :( i live in a house with my BF and 3 other people, and 2 other dogs. one of which is a boxer (which is fun, but he's not neutered yet), and a freakin annoying little, untrained "maltese", who is also un-altered. (i put it in quotations be cause he looks so weird, not that im an expert on malteses, but i have a general understanding of how they should look)
Issue #1: so Moose, the boxer was purchased from a byb, and looks nothing like breed standard, a lot of people think he's a boxer dane mix, which is totally possible since he looks it. anywho, the point is that he and my Nikki play a lot together, and nikki is almost 6mos, and i'm very paranoid about her getting her first heat. :eek: I would get her fixed if we weren't hoping to finish her, and make her our foundation bitch for our future kennel. i don't want to risk any chances of her getting impregnated by Moose or the Maltese. especially since she is still so young... i don't want to have to get her spayed and risk a promising show career because of something like that. i would hate for moose to not play with nikki for an entire month, but if he doesn't get neutered soon, there will be less and less playing. the good thing is that im pretty sure that Moose's owner is going to get him fixed soon... its just hard to wait i guess. so this isn't such a big issue, but i guess im just super paranoid, especially since Nikki is the first female dog we've ever owned.
Issue #2: the ugly maltese that also lives with us is SOOOOOOOO Untrained. :mad: its freakin ridiculous. he pees, and poops all over the house, in other peoples rooms, and he steals toys from other peoples rooms. the thing that esp. irks us (bf and I) is that the owner knows his dog isn't trained, yet still lets him run around the house. we find pee spots and tiny poos randomly all over the house. its disgusting. AND, what makes me most mad is that, when i asked if they were going to fix him soon, he said no, his friends wants puppies, so he thinks id be a great idea to have his dog father the pups.. u know, cuz HE would make a quick buck, and his friends would have puppies... :eek: UGH!!!! i was biting my tongue so hard to not burst out screaming, your dog is soooooooo ugly, and you should NEVER breed anything EVER, you can't even take care of your current dog... you know nothing of its breed standard... and he doesn't even have a good personality!
ARGHHH! i guess i can't expect much though since they did purchase the thing from a guy selling his puppies from the back of his truck. he didn't even allow them to go over to his house, he had them meet him in the parking area of a supermarket. (does it get any shadier than that?) :confused:
Issue #3: my roommates always joke about their dogs humping Nikki and having pups with her. :mad: i know they think its all in good fun, but i personally HATE it. aRGH.. i always tell them, if i ever catch any of their dogs even trying to mount her, i have no problem kicking their dogs to the other side of the room. harsh, i know, but seriously, its not a joking matter. i guess its just frustrating because no one understands the seriousness of breeding and having pups. gradicon they don't understand the dangers of a female getting pregnant at a young age, and they don't understand the necessity of neutering their dogs.
i can't wait until we purchase our own home.. hopefully within the year. then i don't have to deal with outside people and their outside factors that affect my life. i was soooo frustrated tonite, BF had to calm me down. there are just soooo many irresponsible people out there that should never ever ever in their life times own a dog.. i feel like such a bitch for getting mad at people, esp. my friends, about something that they obviously do not think is such a big deal. oh well... sorry for such a long post. thanks for listening.

but like i said, we're going to show Nikki and spaying her is not an option right now. (believe you me, i would rather not have to deal with a bitch on her rag!:rolleyes
, so Kat I hope your roomies wake up and smell the coffee and do what needs to be done, pronto. I know how hard you've worked and are working to get into showing with Nikki and it'd be such a letdown to have someones ignorance come between you and your dreams of "finishing" in the ring!
