Urge to kill...rising...
Ugh! I just had a Facebook throwdown with someone who's dumping her cats because she chose to move somewhere they're not allowed, knowing that full well, and now she "can't hide them anymore." Stuff like this makes me a white hot ball of fury. Thanks to her, that's almost certainly two more dead cats since our nation's shelters can't handle the millions of pets ditched every year, and 7 in 10 cats surrendered die there. Alone. Scared. Feeling unloved. 
Am I the only one who has something that totally turns them into Furious George? If not, what sets you off? (Flame free, please.)
Alternately, happy pictures and gifs welcome to make me smile.

THANK YOU. That's awesome.
That's terrible. My sister fosters dogs and finds them homes. Well this one girl that I barely know (only through the bump) saw me post about it on Facebook. She acted so interested, ended up adopting the dog. Guess what? A week later she dumped the dog off at the shelter. She emailed my sis and said it was too big for their apartment. Well, isn't that something you know BEFORE adopting a pet?! I defriended her and sent her an email saying that adopting a pet is a huge decision, just like adopting a child and in the future she should not do it on a whim. Those dogs get killed. Uggh
I'm sorry. I would be upset too.
Here is the pup I am talking about. How sweet is he? Does he make your day better? Oh and good news, a nice older family adopted him about a week later!!
Here's another pic of my sisters dog. The heart says "I paw you" and he has his paw up. So cute

I'm with you...it's whenever I hear about someone buying a bred-animal - I get furious. And don't say it's because you need a certain "breed" - because they are ALL available...or because your dog is just so damn cute and "special" it's genes must live on....puh-leeze. No need to FLAME me if you do this or feel differently- we'll just agree to strongly disagree.
On a side note, anyone looking to ADOPT can come visit me at the "Lucky Dog Adoption Event" on March 13th at the Academy of Canine Behavior in Bothell (during naptime, 12-3)
WTF is going on here? This one is just....

What sweet pups both! So glad the little fuzzball found a good home. Yeah, you'd think that would be something they could figure out first, huh? Dumb@ss. Some people just think of animals as disposable, like a worn out pair of shoes or something. It sickens me.
Katie, I PPH you lots.
Kris, yay for adoption! I hope you get a great turnout and find wonderful homes for some lucky pups.
I am SO with you - we're rescued every dog we've ever owned. And kept them until they passed. My SIL on the otherhand - pets are like underware in her house - whatever suits her fancy until they don't suit her anymore. Then she dumps them. Blows. My. Mind.
Don't tempt me.... but if I do come by, do NOT let me leave with a dog. Zoe could not handle it.
My FB Furious George moment was when someone posted that they've tried everythign and are now putting their baby on allergy shots becasue of the cat.
I love my dog. I cherish her. She was my first baby. But I?ve been on injectable medication since I was 10. It sucks more than just donkey balls, but I take it or I die. Allergy shots for a cat are not needed for survival.
I would never put my son on injections for my dog.
I value him more than my dog.
Shoot me.
No flamin' at all, S, but we'd do the shots. Not that I hope it comes to that! Sorry you've had to be on them though, that does suck.
..and on the flipside (after trying all other means of course)...I would not. But I WOULD personally rehome my pet to someone I knew and could make sure it was being well cared for, as well as help pay for expenses of said animal's care - in exchange for frequent visits!
I honestly think some of ours would rather not live without us. I know that sounds dramatic, but my youngest cat literally thinks I am her mama, and DH's cat is bonded to him like whoa. They would both probably have a *horrible* time adjusting to live anywhere else. Our alpha female would be considered unadoptable by some people as well. And the dogs, well one is suffering from lymphoma and we don't know how long she even has, but damn if I won't give her every day of it as long as she's in good health. I know my folks would take the dog(s) if they had to, but the cats wouldn't have many options. So I think that colors things for me a bit. Stella, I hope it never comes to it but at least you have a plan and would help financially. You're a good mama to want to do that if you had to rehome.
that makes me really sad / mad too- i shall call the feeling smad..
I can't stand people who do this. I have 2 cats that we got from FIL because he was irresponsible and didn't get his cat fixed. They are almost 4 now and I love them to bits, nothing would make me get rid of them. My grandparents have 8 cats right now because they live out in the middle of nowhere in eastern Washington and people just take their animals out there and dump them. In the past 4 years since they moved over there they have probably had more than 15 cats. They lost a couple due to old age and one or 2 to getting out on the highway. All the cats they have taken in they take in and get fixed and all their shots.
I get pissed off at FIL because he is so irresponsible with his animals. He's a PITA about taking care of them. He's one of those that bought purebreds because that's what he wanted and now he doesn't want to have time for them so they stay in the dog run all day and then sleep in the laundry room at night.
Same here. We are very fortunate we have 2 family members who would care for her it there were issues. Sadly, Zoe does not love N. Tolerates is more like it. The pack leaders seem to care a lot about him so she is just along for the ride.
Ugh, I truely do not understand people who think this way! I can barely even think about it, it's so upsetting.
My ex-SIL actually had their dog put down because he was too much work for her to care for when they adopted our nephew. And she didn't even tell us she was going to do it, so I didn't have the chance to intervene. Needless to say, I wasn't surprised when she later cheated on my BIL and basically abandoned her son...worthless biotch!
