update vent.

Okay, so yesterday I began a post asking my "options" on what to do since I had 2 pets and could no longer stay at my parents house at 4 months pregnant because even after 2 years and having well behaved petite dogs my parents seemed unreasonable about it.

They wanted me to leave and I had wanted to take my pets because I love them dearly- so I applied for housing and considered a shelter for pregnant women, instead of answers or suggestions I got "bashed" for putting my baby "at risk" or being "negligent" because I was picking my pets over my child which wasn't the case at all.

Anyway, for all you inconsiderate dramatic diva's, I kept my pets. Rescued another lab puppy who is happy outside and I just made amends with my parents to pay a "pet fee" so whoever suggested that, thank you. I read here about weed and other stuff a lot more at risk for the babies health and I read nowhere of anyone being a queen bee.

I also read a sub post directed at me in regards to how some women ask questions and put theme selves in scenarios therefore to find no offense to rude comments. No y'all just hormonal.

I read your post yesterday but really had no advice to give but I know the feeling of loving a pet could be just as much as loving a person or them being your babys I know the exact same feeling I had to give up my dog and cat and it was so hard but I know it was for my best so I am really happy to hear you got to keep yours and im glad to see you rescued one I am such a animal lover I wish I could have millions of pets lol but until my baby girl gets here all I can have is a fish haha

There's no problem leaving a dog outside and having them as an outdoor dog. My pit bull was very seldom inside my house cuz she was so rambunctious actually she hated the indoors and preferred to stay outside as long as the pup has a heated shelter during the winter there's no problem with it being a strictly out door pup

@Shawna I never asked what other thought of my situation. Never. I asked what are options. For the most part you've been the worst therefore, I suggest you refrain from actually taking the time to even state otherwise.

I have multiple pets and do just fine with them and baby, but they are all very well behaved and I live on my own. Maybe work on getting your own place so you dont have to worry about this situation in the future. But I don't think keeping a "rescued" puppy out doors all of the time is good for the dog. Once it is allowed in doors, if that ever occurs, it will be a difficult transition. Maybe call a lab rescue and give it over to them so they can find it an indoor home with a family who can provide the best possible situation for the dog.

You asked what others thought of your situation. Not everyone going to.give u the same happy opinion.. I told you my thought, didnt mean you had to agree or disagree on what I thought..
And I so agree, there are worse thing out there, like people drinking and smoking while pregnant/breastfeeding..
Like I said last nighy, I put mu baby first before anything .. Always will.

I'm glad you were able to work something out. Some people don't understand that the love someone holds for their dogs, cats, or whatever pet one may have can be very similar to the love one hold for a child. My bestfriend has a dog and she loves that dog as much as I love my son. They have such a strong bond its crazy. I'm glad you get to keep your doggies hun (:

Or we can choose to ignore it and not feed drama ourselves. We shouldn't assume certain posts are about us unless stated : )
