[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've left our dogs for days at a time, and they were fine. These people are nuts. They have some desperate issues where they need to feel needed. The dogs will survive. That's what their coats are for.[/quote]

DAYS at a time? Where did they go to the bathroom?

Yeah - unless you have toilet trained your dog I'm calling BS on this.

No joke, when I was looking to adopt a dog, I checked out a dutch shepherd that had been surrendered to a rescue by her first owner because the dog was too hyper.  The owner explained to the rescue that the dog was really great, she could crate the dog for an entire long weekend and the dog would poop and pee in one corner of the crate and barely get itself dirty by curling up as far as possible in the other corner of the crate.  She thought it was a great "selling point" for the dog and didn't understand why the rescue wasn't super cool with encouraging the next owners to do the same.

Some people are really, truly, stupendously stupid.  [/quote]

My mom's dog absolutely hates to travel or leave the house or be kenneled. So they leave her in a bathroom with a walk in shower. She will pee and poop only in the shower for the weekend and is happy as a clam that she was left. My dog would self injure.[/quote]

Apparently the girl went out of town more weekends than she stayed and the dog was always just left in the crate, starting when the dog was a puppy.

I didn't end up adopting the dog because she was just such a mess.  She was a sweet dog but had so many issues, behavioral and physical, even after a year of intense work by the rescue to rehab her.  [/quote]
