HELP NEEDED (a parody) - Page 1

 
After the recent discussion about rescues, and being in rescue myself, I decided I would pass on the parody below. 
One of the rescue groups I belong to recently had a discussion about the reasons why people give up their dogs or cats. One of the most common is, "We're going to have a baby and can't keep the dog." 
I'll never figure that one out but I guess it makes people feel better having an excuse. It really can be very frustrating. Anyway, a member sent this on to me and unfortunately, nobody knows the author. If people were to stop and think how it would be if they did the same things to their children that they do to their dogs, they may just think twice  (to a certain extent anyway). 
If nothing else, there is certainly a bit of humor in this so I hope everyone does enjoy it! 

 
HELP NEEDED ASAP: 
Please help! After two long years of being on a waiting list for a dog, we have been notified by breed rescue that, at long last, our number has come up and ... WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY! 
We must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we just know how time consuming our new little puppy is going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to the children. Since our little puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place the children up for adoption this weekend! 
They are described as: 
One male -- his name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blonde hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament tested. Does have problems with peeing directly in the toilet. Has had chicken Pox and is current on all shots. Tonsils have already been removed. Tommy eats everything, is very clean,  house trained and gets along well with others. Does not run with scissors and with a little training he should be able to read soon. 
One female -- her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), strawberry blonde hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times. Non-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils out, and is very healthy and can be affectionate.  Gets along well with other little girls and little boys but does not like to share her toys and therefore would do best in a one child household. She is a very quick learner and is currently working on her house training. Shouldn't take long at all. 
We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them. That is why we contacted a rescue group. But we simply can no longer keep them. Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy. 
I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation and we have a real emergency here! They MUST be placed into your rescue by Sunday night at the latest or we will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage or along some dark, country road. Our priority now has to be our new puppy.

This should be hung up in every rescue/shelter.  Awesome post!!!

That's awesome!

I think it would be better just to put them down so you wouldn't feel guilty about any future suffering they may have to endure...

I hate orphanage's.... worst than dog shelters.

Part of that's a joke and part of it's not.

The local shelter had its no-birth day today.   

Spay neuter special's all week.

No don't put them down..... just leave them on a country road. Somebody is bound to want some cute kids or out and ad on craigslist.

Michele and Pharaoh

I live on that country road thank you very much !

well than you will have new addition two moons hihihi. Good one.

LOLOL...

I had seen this before too... and thought it would be a nice opportunity to post it on the local Craigs List - the most popular dumping grounds for many pet owners to rid themselves of the responsibility of their pets...and maybe even guilt a few into paying for the privelidge!

In record time it was flagged... and yes...totally expected.  Funny how guilt will prompt many into action.

I think I'll post it again.
