Well you are certinally entitled to your opinion cariblue, but so am I. I don't agree with you but neither of us have to. From what I read the only reason they are getting rid of him is b/c they don't have time for him. They said nothing about their situation. If there are other reasons then thats different but that was not the reason they gave when asked. I just feel they are backing out for convience not necessity. If there is nothing wrong with the dog, then just pay someone to come for a half hour and play with him. A teenager will not be expensive in fact I spend more on gas then I do for my neighbor to let my dogs out and play with them during the day.
