I'm a little cat in a pretty hat!

sucks to ur assmar posted:

I always wonder why people make the connection that when Pet Island tells them they bought a dog from a lousy source, it's also assumed that everyone thinks they're stupid for loving the dog and should kill it or something. People are weird.

Maybe they just feel they have to justify loving it since it's not well bred or an "insult to the breed". And since people get emotionally attached to animals it's hard to separate "I went with a bad source, I'll do better next time" and "She came from a bad place, she is a failure because of it," especially because there is a connotation that there is something wrong with the dog if it comes from a pet store (valid because a lot of them are sickly, have genetic issues because of poor breeding, etc.) Just my thoughts. My parents/my childhood dog was a BYB Lasa. We got lucky that he's been pretty much healthy for all his 13 years. When we got him, it didn't even cross my mind that it might have been a bad idea.

Also corgis are awesome and cute and I will never have one because I doubt I have the time and energy to take care of one properly. Also, I doubt my cat would like the addition, she was already getting nervous just listening to the "corgi noises".
