Bad owners, bad parents or just accidents?

Wow… thank you wanderer for your thoughts and comments on my last post.

I experienced all the feelings of associated with helplessness in a matter of about 2 seconds when I found out what happened to Guinness. It’s not that we are happy with what happened but it did and I wanted to share the terrible experience with those out there who may be considering buying a puppy.  I am not looking for sympathy from anyone on this one, but would like to build a community of sharing between dog owners and dog lovers.

We have read all kinds of books from training to the characteristics of the Airedale breed. We also have had Guinness in training twice already and are planning to take him back again soon.  All our trainer can tell us about our Guinness is the following:
1. he is a terrier
2. he will learn on his own schedule
3. keep working with him
4. enjoy the time you have with him

Guinness does very well with all of his commands at home but gets a little hyper around all the other dogs at school and while in vehicles because of all the different smells and other stimuli.  It will just take some time for him to settle into adult dog.

We do not walk our dog in the middle of the night and certainly have more respect for other people and their home than to let our dog poop on other peoples lawns.  If by chance that does happen, we carry doggy bags with us to dispose of everything properly.
I’m not condoning what happened, but please don’t criticize me for actions that were an accident.  They do happen. 

Would you let your children run outside to play if you left the grill on?  What if they run into it or want to touch it because they are curious? All while you were inside preparing big juicy steaks.

I thought not.

    I know I didn’t use the word “bad” in referring to dog owners, or parents. However, responsibility, or lack there of, was my point.

    I was simply expressing my opinion on your blog. And when I used the word “you”, I didn’t mean you specifically, I meant dog owners in general.

    Wanderer is a cynical commenter with really nothing nice or beneficial to say. Instead, you get rude, obscure replies that are supposed to pass for intellectual and articulate feedback.
    You have a fun, light blog. Keep writing and ignore negative comments from people who think waaaay too much

    To enjoy: You’ve got alot of nerve judging people that you’ve never met.
    I have questions, and opinions like anyone else. If it doesn’t appeal to you, then simply ignore my posts, and post your own comments relating to that particular blog in which you visited.

    Don’t use others’ blogs to try to censor varied opinions. What a low class thing to do.
    Start your own blog.
