Why would your H have to transfer his job to move to a dog friendly place?

Because dogs aren't allowed in Georgia, remember?

If your H couldn't transfer his job there.... and you had to transfer your job there to be with him... and you can't have the dog there.... why did you need to move there in the first place? Why couldn't you have moved somewhere else where you could both have jobs and the dog?

I can't make sense of any of this.

I'm confused about something else - are you saying that this person took all the dogs? So one got lost and is malnourished and you suspected "this would happen" and now you're thrilled because Yayayay you get to keep the dog except you're not, your parents are. And there is not mention of the fact that you gave at least 4 dogs to some other horrible pet owners and you aren't even remotely concerned about the other 3 (or more)?

Please do not get any more pets.

Yeah, let's not worry about the other malnourished dogs that you gave away. That would be silly.

Riiiiiiight! How silly of me!

Also, you don't get any credit for having her for 6 years before dumping her off on some stranger who then went on to starve her and lose her.

I'm assuming the dog was malnourished because he was missing for over 4 days. But I also wondered about the other dogs with the "new owners."

yearling dogs are much easier to adopt out than 'old' dogs...so, yep, what motzie said.

Maybe if we post looking for her on Craigslist in 4 days a miracle will happen!

Brad once left a job because he wasn't able to take our dog into the office with him.

Lolol. I was hoping this thread would've blown up more while I was at work.

I lived in Georgia with a dog. In an apartment.

I don't think you did anywhere near as much as you think you did to keep your dog.

[bowies]

I see the OP DDed but I'm getting the gist. What a terrible person. And I wouldn't have married a dude who went and got a non-dog friendly apartment when he knew full well I owned a dog. That right there tells me he doesn't give a flying fuck about me.

The OP is a total failure at life if she couldn't figure this shit out.

[tmonoxide]

I'm coming in late on this.

Moral to the story:

DO NOT get a dog or a cat or a pet of any kind unless you are 100% sure that you will be able to KEEP the pet.

In your case, a foster dog would have been ideal. No commitments -- and if you wound up having to move to an apartment where it is a strict NO PETS rule, the dog doesn't wind up going to a shelter or being displaced.

You'd move, no more fosters allowed.

I know that there are hard luck cases out there where a dog owner never expected to have to find another home for their dog: example: you're a tenant and the house is sold. New owner says NO PETS. Former owner was fine with pets of all kinds.
