Would you let others hire your pets?

Why?

@LadyDuck When children grow up, they are hired, right?

@vandana7 Should you have a child would you let someone hire your child? Pets are like children for me.

Why so? If the other person was as likely to take care of the dog as you, and actually needed it...and well, if the money came handy for looking after the pet in old age. After all, pets cost. We shouldn't have to put them to sleep. If a person had a pet like a horse, he or she wouldn't mind giving it for hire, so why not dogs?

@LindaOHio What if Dogs and cats could be given to friends or known people, for any help they needed. Trained for such help. And in return small amounts were credited to their account in their end of life stay and care, instead of putting them to sleep. Somehow, the put them to sleep concept shakes me up.

@vandana7 I wouldn't want to give up my dog/s for any length of time. I loved them all too much.

Mean. Selfish...evil grin.

@vandana7 That's right..brutal.

Good care vs. fear of shift in loyalty? Do dogs get confused with too many masters? I don't think so...but we can't say.

@wolfgirl569 You would think that is complex dynamics to tackle by human standards...good thing they cannot carry tales sprinkled with spices when they are made to behave. LOL.

@vandana7 They know who does what with them. Patch knows I take her places and that she is hubbies lap puppy

Hugs. Do you trust me Judy?

@JudyEv I just knew I could manipulate you...you are so innocent...hugs.

@vandana7 Um.... Um.... Yes.

That would be serious problem. Somebody would steal them. Only ferocious ones are in demand. LOL

@vandana7 They tried to steal them indeed. When they were outside two neighbors tried to steal them.

That is very interesting. I did hear that dogs can be trained for old people and blind people. I wish they would be "paid", so that they can have better life.

What if it earned them enough for better medical treatment?

@jstory07 Funny, don't you think? We let our kids take up employment. We are fine with that. But if our pets earn something, we would not be. I would spare my dog if he was capable of helping somebody. I would want an end of life care facility for all pets. The amount would go towards his end of life care. I would never put my pet to sleep. I would feel happy he had some money for vets who would ease his pain, which I neither understand nor know how to do something about it. Of course, I would also be contributing. But this earning can definitely come handy if major surgery or treatment was needed.

@vandana7 No my cats are my pets.
