I am tired of trying to defend myself, my credibility or my dog raising abilities. None of you even know me. I wanted those dogs. I have had (multiple) dogs before. None (well, maybe 2 of you) of you even know my current work status. I work from home most of the time- and so does my roommate and we/I would be with my dog(s) almost 24/7 which seems to be a much better deal than having them locked up for 8 hrs a day while someone else is at work. I am not going anywhere or moving anywhere else. But of course- everyone here seems to know what's best for me- which is odd considering none of you know me. No offense- but I think only I can make that call.
She had seemed hesitant for well over a week, not responding to my prior email request for her to call me since I have been w/o internet for a week, and then when I finally got her number to call- she was crying over them leaving. It was obvious she wanted to keep them- and she really gave me no other option. She said she had been thinking this way ever since my first job here fell through- and she also cited that I was "young" and she was giving me an "out" by keeping them. Unfortunately, I didn't want an out. I wanted the dogs. But, I do understand how she had gotten attached- I mean- how cute are they? Unluckily for me- that means she's not giving them up.
Apparently a lot of people who don't know me- doubt me. I am not a child, and I can take care of myself (and animals.) I'm just so annoyed lately by the constant doubt. No offense- but if I need advice- I am the first to ask for it.
I don't sugarcoat. I tell the hard truth- which apparently really bothers some people- so I am leaving it to the basics here.
*PHEW* and that is me venting my frustrations about this whole thing, and now I am done. If I seemed ticked off- it's probably because I am- but I'll be over it in about 10 min.
