A Dog Is For Life

FOXY

Quite a few of my friends from the Calahonda Pet Dog School have returned to the UK. I really miss Georgie and Foxy but so pleased to see this photo on Facebook. I think it just proves it doesn't matter to your dog where they are as long as they are with you.

Georgie took all her cats and dogs with her when she went back. It is expensive but leaving them behind was not something she ever considered. I get so mad when I hear of English people returning to the UK and dumping their pets. I am not talking about abandoning them in the street, but taking them to a shelter and saying I am going back to the UK and can't take them. WHY can't you? There is no quarantine, you just need to get the animal micro chipped, which if it was a dog in Spain it should be already, get a rabies shot and 21 days later you can travel, just before you go it need tic and worm treatment. Probably the cheapest way is to drive back but there are lots of pet carriers that will bring your animals back for you. They charge, if you don't think your dog is worth it you should not have a dog. A dog is for life, they are not luggage to be left behind. They are part of the family, or should be, you wouldn't leave your kids, why would you leave your pets unless you are the sort of person who thinks dogs are accessories, designer toys for your kids, looks good on a lead.

Well I could go on, in the UK we are supposed to be animal lovers, you only have to watch TV to know cruelty goes on there. Here is the same. What I am upset about is people who get a dog make it part of their life and then they move on, go back to the UK. get another dog. Do they not realise, they were not part of that dogs life, they were his whole life, that is what they give you. A dog is for life, don't take him on unless you can give him that.

 I forgive you if you die.
