When two people come together to form a relationship there are often adjustments in lifestyle that must be made by both parties.
Recently, a man in Virginia was told by his girlfriend that she didn’t care for his dog, giving him the ultimatum that he must choose between her and the animal.
So the man posted an ad to Craigslist explaining the situation and searching for a new home for his soon-to-be ex-companion.
The ad read:
“MY girlfriend does not like my beagle Molly. SO I have to re-home her.
“She is a purebred from a wealthy area and I have had her 4 years. She likes to play games. Not totally trained. Has long hair so she’s a little high maintenance, especially the nails, but she loves having them done.
“Stays up all night yapping but sleeps while I work. Only eats the best, most expensive food. Will NEVER greet you at the door after a long day or give you unconditional love when you’re down. Does not bite but she can be mean as hell!
“So … anyone interested in my 30 year old, selfish, wicked, gold-digging girlfriend? Come and get her! Me and my dog want her re-homed ASAP!!” (H/T Qpolitical)
True love doesn’t make demands of others, but rather figures out a way to work out problems in a manner both can agree on.
This man understood that the love shared between him and his pet beagle was true, gentle and undemanding, unlike that between him and his girlfriend.
There is a reason that dogs are called “man’s best friend.”
Retired racing Greyhounds are the exception.
They're neat because they don't shed, they don't bark and can be left alone for hours on end because that's how they were raised at the track. They love to be around other dogs and people.
Read the ad.
....as in they like to lick their own balls?
LOL!
If anything that would be a sign of a person who discards their obligations and a major negative.
(not sure why he called her a gold digger though)
I love dogs . . . have two of them. One is a Japanese Shin who absolutely worships my shadow . . . the other is a beagle/chihuahua mix that could care less whether I show up or not - unless I have some food to share. Otherwise, I call him and it’s like . . . ‘PICK A NUMBER!’
LOL! I may not be a dog person but I can laugh at this. I’m not that kind of woman, though, so it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other.
With 7 kids messing up the house, I don’t need inside animals doing the same thing. (Cats are about to become barn cats.) My job is hard enough. I also don’t want piles in the yard for the kids to step in and bring back to the house. Again, I have enough to do without adding that whole angle to my day.
Now, having said that, we are seriously considering a dog now that we live on acreage. We could use the barking alarm and there’s plenty of room to run. The dog will be kept in a large run with access to the inside of the Morton building. Husband and kids can let him out to play and clean up messes if needed.
I’m thankful to my dog loving husband that loved me enough to not try to make my life harder by giving me a dog to take care of on a daily basis while he goes off to work/travels out of town. I appreciate that we are able to compromise like adults should in a situation like this. After being bitten by the dog he had when we got married, I am very reluctant to be around big dogs again. I can handle the farm dog and he can be satisfied with having a dog to run around and play with outside. He’d much rather have me curl up on his lap and greet him at the door than a dog.
Sniff, sniff noob. I noticed you didn't even respond to your corrected uninformed post.....
Amen!
Only happened 4 times in the 8 years before he passed.
I miss that little goof.
I have NO use for anyone who does not love dogs.
None.
Similar thing happened to me delivering newspapers at ~12.
The dog was an Airedale and got 4 punctures around my bicep and shoulder.
The dog finally released me when I raised the “folded up newspaper” in a motion like I was going to hit him.
It turned out that the owners used a rolled up newspaper to discipline the dog.
I still love dogs.
Boy, my list just keeps getting longer.
;)
By far the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
I wouldn’t. Any prospective spouse who would would no longer be a prospective spouse.
Thanks Joe. I came here ready to tell the guy to get rid of his girlfriend and then got a good laugh instead.
Assault dobermans have even less use for people without doggie biscuits.
Not that I’d know from experience or anything....
So do I...and n even deeper distrust of people whom dogs don’t like.
