Shame on my Niece & her Husband!! They don't deserve to have a dog! TALK   

I'm thinking about it...

Yeah she was allowed to get a puppy right after Their Father passed away
you know my brother back in 1995, and their Mom has MS...she could not see or get out back to where the poor thing was kept until it was too late...a neighbor
reported the really bad smell...

sad ain't it?? I'm just so SHOCKED and embarrassed and PIII!!!!!!ssssseeeedd AT HER AND HER IDIOT HUSBAND!!!

I have enough "crap" going on I shouldn't have to monitor my niece to make sure she is taking care of her dog, I'm surprised the dog has lived to be 8 years old...you know??

Hi 4paws: I know the feeling, No, I don't have a key to their house they do have a special shampoo for the dog and probably medicine in some form or another as they deal with this every year but this is the WORST I've ever seen Sadie, poor dog Its just eating me up inside not doing anything and yet wanting too turn their butts in you know?

Like I said I'm just banging my head up against the wall here what to do??
what to do??

Like I said SHAME ON THEM BOTH!! SUCH BAD HUMANS!!!!

HI Oconnell: I know its just making me sick inside to think that I'm even related to her sometimes I mean she is 28 years old now and its time to WAKE UP and take responsibility...

She said her husband is supposed to be shaving her again and then give her a bath which is when they treat her, WHOOOPPEEE DOOO!! She needs it now not in a couple of days and she could do it, after all its her dog...she's just horribly lazy!

If my back and neck was not in such a mess I'd do it myself but if I got down
on the floor like that over the tub someone would have to be there to help me
up ..LOL! Then I'd have to go home and take pain pills and muscle relaxer's and then go see my chiropractor the next day...then I'd have to kick my niece again for allowing this to go on AGAIN with her dog, you'd think the VET would say something to them too as often as they get this special shampoo or whatever it is they treat her with when they bathe her, I honestly don't know what one has to use none of my dogs have ever had mange...its just awful!!

Hi Bobbo: I agree I really do and I hate it that this person is my niece too!!

Supposedly her husband is gonna shave Sadie again this week sometime?? and then when he does he'll treat her with this special shampoo or whatever it is they use on her, I know they get it from the VEt, none of my dogs have EVER had this sort of problem, thankfully...

At least her dog is inside in the AC but still I know she is just stir crazy!!

poor dog!! It makes me really sad and UPSET to say the least!

Hi dear friend; I know its really killing me that I even have to talk about her on a place like this but after I got home today it was just festering inside me so much I needed to "rant" about it;

Thankfully Sadie is inside in the AC but the short time I was there she was just a mess with itching and scratching, we did play for a few minutes but I still feel really really bad for her;

Making her husband do all the bathing and shaving is just a silly excuse when she could easily do the bath herself, she's a big "whiner" a DRAMA QUEEN of the worst kind if you know what I mean...

If she took the dog for a walk further than her front step then maybe a neighbor
could/would report her but no one sees the dog at this point unless they drop by her house and if its a stranger the dog gets locked up in the bedroom, Sadie is a bit "nasty" to most people she's never been that way with me, she knows better..(G)
I put off that ALPHA DOG VIBE to all animals..LOL! I put up with no nonsense...LOL!

Since she has had this dog I've tried and tried and tried to get it through her thick head what it is they are doing to this dog, and its not affected them one bit;
as I said SHAME ON THEM!!

I guess in her mind oh well there's another one out there just like ya when you do die or something I don't know??

AARRGGHHH!!!! IT SUCKS to be in this position! It really does!

I know Jan it sucks is right.
I know you feel badly.
Been there myself about an animal or two, god what horrid memories that brings back, but we won't go there right now.
It is okay Jan, myLot is the place to let all these things that bother us out.
You will always get good answers here, and it is good to be able to vent.
You are an Alpha Dog? Sounds like a bunch of my boyfriends HAHAHA..in the end though, they wound up being just dog hahhahah Jan..trying to make you laugh gf!
Hugs xooxoxo Love ya I know it is horrid Jan..really I have seen this types of shite before..

LOL! Yeah you know what I mean/meant by being the "Alpha" with her dog, my dogs
all animals (G)!! Won't take any crap from any of them ...hehee!

Yeah I wrestled with this all night long what to dooooo what to do???

I still don't know what the hell to do???

thanks for your support I do appreciate you and all the others on here!
THANK GOD FOR MYLOT!!!

HI Kathy: Yeah we have a humane society here; AS much as this upsets me and it does greatly;

This is my deceased brother's oldest Daughter he's been gone now 14 years it will be 14 years Sept 20, of this year;

She's already done sooooo many "wrong things" since his death but when it comes to the treatment of this dog, she sucks at it royally...NEGLECT big time!!

I just don't know what to do I feel like I'd be betraying my deceased Brother you know?

They do take her to the Vet for all of her shots and stuff and city tag, and shampoo or whatever else they need to treat her with this yearly but they just don't do it enough she's like this every summer til fall...

I repeat THEY ARE JUST SOOOO LAZY BOTH OF THEM!!

She's not even working right now...( another long story ) she's GOT ALLLLLL DAY to do this...and doesn't;

I'm just sitting here shaking my head I just don't know what to do other than gripe about it and want to physically kick her around a bit..you know??
ugh!

I understand if you feel like you would be betraying your deceased brother. If they take the dog to the vet to give him/her shots, etc., you would think they would want to treat the dog for mange as well. This is beyond me. Is money a problem? If they can't afford to keep a dog, they don't need one. As you know, yourself, it takes money to raise animals. Kathy.

I hope I didn't upset you by asking you if money was a problem with your niece and her husband. If I did, I'm sorry. I just thought that might be the reason why she wouldn't have the dog treated for mange. Like one of the mylotters here said, if she couldn't treat the dog, she should give her away.

The vet I use will set me up on a payment plan if I can't pay the full amount. Not many vets will do this and I think this is nice. Kathy.

hi kATHY; no, silly you didn't upset me I was just exhausted and went to bed early last night and even right now I'm so tired I can barely stay awake here and I need to be "active" on here a lot today in order to reach payout...AAhh it sucks to be me!

No, money is not the issue for them her husband has three jobs, she was working as a hair stylist made good money, had a meltdown and quit her job she is supposed to go back to work in about another month I think? But with her you never know??

they have a great Vet, so no that's not the issue either or money its just
plain and simple PURE LAZINESSSSSSSS!!! No kidding!! Lazy lazy lazy!

as I said here and I've said this all along, they do NOT need a baby at this time when they can't really take care of themselves or the dog, they do NOT need to bring a child into this mess of a marriage that its become..(sigh)!!


but no you didn't upset me I just had to crawl off to bed, my body was in so much pain my head was killing me and I just had to hang it up for the day (G)!

I'M A PUSS!!

I hope you are feeling better today.

Well, I think it's sad the way they treat this dog.In my opinion, they need to be turned in. There's going to be a just God one of these days. Just look at it that way. Kathy.

LOL! I know Elic, I agree with you, sometimes both of them are a waste of "air"..

she is my deceased brother's oldest daughter and he's been gone now almost 14 years
she's done a LOT of stupid things since his death, and she's straightened up
on a lot of things but when it comes to her pet...she SUCKS at it!!

He used to be better at it but they are also having martial problems, and is moving out the whole month of July so he says I just don't know what to do;

Like I said to Cyrus I feel like I'd be betraying my brother if I turned her lazy butt in, and I know I need to do it for the dog's sake I may just have to give the dog a bath myself it will kill me but I hate to see her suffer, after all I was the one who treated her ears today, Its just a mess and its a sad thing to see;

I'm banging my head here!!!

Hi gedsjardin: I know I agree with you 100% its just really sad I struggled with this all night long as to what do I do ???

I dearly love all of my pets too, they are my family more than my "human family" you know?

This dog has an attitude and as far as I know the vet there has never trimmed her nails maybe when she was younger I'm not sure, but they are and have always been way too long they curl up you know?

The two of them just "act" like everything related to the dog is such a chore
they say they love her and I guess they do but of late they have just been neglecting her as far as I can see, I'm sorry now I did not get over there more this past year and check on the dog, but I shouldn't have too you know?
they both are old enough to take care of her, its just really really pathetic!

Darrell used to be really good about taking her for long walks but even then her nails did not stay trimmed at all, now my two dogs are out at my Father's farm
seeing as how I now have to live in town and even when I was living out in the country too, I've never ever had to trim any of my dogs nails, they've always
had the freedom to run all over the place you know? Makes a big difference;

I still don't know what I'm gonna do, I really don't...

HI there: I know its wrong I'm giving them a few days to see if they do in fact shave the dog again, and treat her with the meds that they have, and if not I guess I'll just have to take matters into my own hands and teach them a vital lesson in life, the dumbas$$ES!

They are indeed that LAZY & Yep that stupid...they really are;

HI Hannah: you're right it is pitiful for sure;

I would gladly take Sadie if I could, where I'm at now I am allowed the one pet and that is my Cat she is my baby;

My other pets are out at my Father's farm my two dogs and one other cat, my
nieces dog is not an outdoor dog, she could be in time but she has always been inside and is used to the A/C and Heat in the wintertime you know?

It would take her awhile to adapt to the outdoors it could be done but My Father would just have a COW if another pet/animal showed up out there on his place
he is 82 years old now and not a happy person at all...his health is bad and he's just an angry man anyway most of the time I just don't know, but I do know this
I am giving them a few days to make things better for the dog and then I'll cross that bridge if things have not improved for Sadie I just feel so badly for her;
she's a good dog and a great watchdog;
