[QUOTE="witzend, post: 530717, member: 99"] I love my dogs, and they taught our family a [I]lot[/I] about love and absolute acceptance. That being said, I don't know that I would surprise teenagers with a dog that they are expected to take care of. I remember being horrified that M jerked Bubba's 1/4 inch thick steel choke chain so hard that it broke while they were on a walk one afternoon, and then came home and angrily told us how bad Bubba had behaved. Bubba was a young dog and needed a lot of exercise and someone who was mature enough to care for him. I never said so outright, but I sided with Bubba. The violence of it was really the beginning of the last straw for me and M. I hope that your family will want a dog as much as you do. I love my dogs to bits. But in hindsight, it was unfair of me to have expected everyone to pitch in with a dog. Just my .02... [/QUOTE]
