just some venting. figured this is a good place for it since no one i hang wit really has nethng to say for advice or just doesnt care. but im still p'd off bout it. and don't know what to think of the situation any more.
well long story. my friend asked me to watch his ambully for him for 2months. cuz the landlord is afraid of the dog and the dog tore up the dishwasher n dug holes in the floors due to seperation anxiety. he was supposed to pay me for keeping the dog. but i ended up spending over $30 a week on feeding his dog alone plus $1,000 in vet bills due to his health problems. i already have two apbts and a room of snakes. plus my brother liven on tha couch. i don't need another person or animal to feed! i have only gotten 20bucks from him the first week. not only did his dog basically spend a lot of my money but a lot of my time. he had no clue how to interact with people without going spycho jumping on them and running around like sumthing crazy got into him. he would not go to the bathroom outside what so ever but would ALWAYS pee n crap everywhere within 5 mins of coming bck inside.and he would try to fight with my dogs if i let them play together. so play quickly stopped. i would have to play with him one on one and even then he had no idea what to do. i had to keep him in the crate half the time so i could train him like a puppy. or else he would pee on something every 5mins n get into the trash or whatev. he didnt even know his own name. his prev owner only let him outside once a day to pee n thts it. n he never even peed outside then. so i had to teach him EVERYTHING.
well it got to the point where my landlord (thankfully a very good friend of mine for a while) told me if i am not getting payed to keep the dog and he is such a hastle for me then he would gladly take me to the dog pound the very next weekend. so i told my friend. his reply was for me to find the dog a good home. because he couldnt keep him and ddnt have money to pay me. so i found him a great home on an indian res in rhodeisland. the owners love him n say he is exactly what they wanted in a dog. big, n good at guarding. but very friendly and fun loving. he now gets to be outside all the time n can run around the woods, which he has never seen up untill then. he goes on fishing n camping trips. n is just 100% better off. and doesnt have to b in a crate now. the problem is. those naragansets can be stubborn and xtremely thick headed over who u take sides with in their tribe. so there was a social perdicament n i picked the wrong side apparently and the dogs new owners want nothing to do with me now. i don't care that much. but my friend is p'd off at me cuz he demands to see his dog but can't. i understand where he is coming from but its now the story of his life. i told him look. he is lucky the dog did not end up in the pound. i did not take a liking to that dog. but i still took care of him,treated him fairly, and trained him so someone else could enjoy him. now he is going on about how he has the dogs papers and they don't. the papers seem hung any way. but on the other side. they already have the dog registered to the state of rhodeisland so it is legaly theres. their problem about the situation is they are mad about the vet bills. they say he should give them money for the vets since the dog was his before they got it. i told them too bad. they knew about the health problems but still agreed to take the dog and don't want to give him up. they want to get payed bck for the vets tho. and my friend now wants me to get the dog back even though he cant keep him n even tho the dog is clearly a lot happier. i actually went on a fishing trip with them n the dog out on a row boat b4 they stoped talking to me. the dog was happy go lucky n was the first time he has done nething like that at all in the whole three years he has been alive. but now im the middle person. and it sucks. they want vet money from him but refuse to talk to him directly cuz of his race.and now they wont talk 2 me. n yes they r a bit racist but it doesnt effect how they take care of their animals. and he wants me to take the dog back or have them bring the dog to his house for visits. i also told him he put me incharge of finding a good home and i made sure i did. the dog is out of my hands so i don't want to hear about it any more. now i am starting to feel like i made the mistake of agreeing to do anything for my friend what so ever as far as the dog goes. he is really lucky i found any one that wanted his dog cuz i went thru a lot of ppl that said F no! so i feel like i did the wrong thing but it doesnt really seem like i did since the dog is living a better more active and healthier life.
