Yes, and you also pointed out that hubby said you cannot leave without your mother and you can't carry the wheelchair down the stairs. Those are very, very heavy. Its mean of him to tell you that everytime you leave the house you have to take her. Its ridiculous and not practical.

so many people think of animals as disposable. No wonder the shelters are so crowded. Also there is help available to have animals spayed and neutered.

I agree 100% with you. We have three dogs and all three were rescues.... Heck, even drove to Phili to pick one of them up!

Karma for whom? Paso is living in Hell. He's a happy vegetable.
He's probably forgotten what dogs and nads are.

You are probably right, I was in a relationship once many many moons ago, that was bad. He was and still is for the most part an #######, but what goes around comes around....
I just got tired of waiting for it to come around, so I broke his fingers.

Does my butt look big?
Acutally I am adjusting..it is quiet and I do not have to answer to anyone...he is tied in a bed with mittens..I just tried to call him and all he does is yell and cry and act like he is fighting to get up or yelling for help...He made my life hard for a long time...he is suffering way worse then I ever did..Makes me sad for anyone to be in that shape but I would feel alot of peeps would say he had it coming to him..I went on a ride today and had the neighbor watch mom...I did not have to tippy toe around to make sure I did not mess up and not be "allowed to go" I can now make plans ahead of time and not wonder if they will be messed up...

rescues
sorry just need to vent for a moment... I know it's great to adopt from a rescue and everything but lately here I have not had much luck because I have 2 kids. I am probably going to end up buying from a breeder because the rescues I have applied for won't adopt a large dog out to somebody with kids. I own a large breed dog who is great with kids. It's very frustrating. I am trying not to go to a breeder, but I can't adopt so.....

This is not entirely true. Rescues do adopt to people with children. Each situation is handled individually.
Did you try to adopt from Tri-County...they have a lot of large dogs.

Breezy, not sure of the situation but, rescues do adopt out to peeps with kids, but it has to be under the right situation. Bottom line is...what is the best situation for the dog, a 4ever home...not a well, the dog keeps jumping up on my kid...etc....my kid is scared so I need to give the pup up.. I work with SHR and I can say, they are full disclosure and look out for the best interest in all involved. JMHO!!

Some rescues won't adopt small dogs to people with kids...my Chih mix hates children and when provoked, can be nippy.
SouthernMdRocks is right- they try to find what is best for the animal as well as the family!

Adopt me please !
Absolutely - we have directly supported many of the organizations on that list ourselves 
as we are all trying to do the same thing ... save lives!
One of my personal rescues is a Rottweiler that was assumed to be dangerous because he was food aggressive, so thankfully a Rottie rescue got him from the shelter before he was put down as unadoptable. Rottweilers and other large breed dogs are feared, so that fear breeds mistrust by people in general and results in the breed being judged harshly. This bay boy I adopted was merely misunderstood because he had been STARVED ... so that was his reason for his food aggression. Most times it is people who create the bad behaviors we see in our furry friends.
Hopefully we can soon find a home for the black Chow mix Ms. Bea - she wants nothing more than to be close to people. She ever-so-gently accepts treats from my hand, not even the slightest bit of bad behavior from her at all. So many of these dogs are just looking for someone to love them.
