I like to think of myself as a dog lover, I also like to think of my friends as such. I have always been a firm believer of knowing when you get a dog that you will able to care for it for its majority of its life. I recently turned down I very good opportunity both financially and career wise because it would have required me to rehome my dog. I would like to say that I didn't think about it one bit but I did take my time looked at my options for places for my dog to go but at the end of the day I realized that there is to much I want to have Doodles around for. I have for that reason been surrounded with similar believing friends, and when my girl fiend made a very sudden decision to get a puppy I was hesitant at agreeing to the situation but believed that in the end everything would work out.
Well I hated to ever think she would be one to put her puppy up on craigslist only a month after getting her. I agree for the reasons she did, those being medical, but she knew that she was going to be in out of the hospital but still went ahead with it... and for the first time I didn't open my home to a dog in need. Its a sweet pup, tiny cute, etc... however if I said I wasn't worried I would be lying. In the end I just have to quietly make a point that you cant do something like that. I am supportive of people needed to rehome dogs especially if they hold onto them and find a home on your own. Following the same logic as one of my favorite quotes:
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would
take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his
final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man
does not deserve to die.”

At the end of the day I understand why but I wish that she had given it a little more thought then indulging in getting a dog. A puppy is sensitive to change and different owners, although at least at the end of the day she will be comfortable having plenty of people handling her.
