[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 187201, member: 3626"] Okay, I'm the odd man out again. Yes, it is a harebrained idea but give him some credit. His goal wasn't to sell them as fighting dogs but because they'd be CUTE! It would be far better if someone took him to the vet's office and let him find out the costs of having a litter of pups than yelling at him. People sell pups at flea markets because they don't have their papers, which means they get less $$ for them. As to the new dog, someone should clue him in that stud fees are the sale price of one pup minus his share of vet fees -- it frequently is a negative value. I do understand his logic. For reasons of my own (i.e., the stalker), I don't dare let someone do a background check. It almost puts me in the same category as a felon except that I have a letter from a DA explaining the risks involved and verifying I am a decent human beng. After looking for six months, I gave up on getting a job although I am well qualified and have very good skills. I started my own business. The difference between the Dude and I is that I thought my plans out carefully -- what I could and could not do, the costs, etc. I'm an adult. He is not. I have skills. He does not. He is impulsive and doesn't think things through. I do understand your anger but I don't think he saw it as pimping his baby out (and considering how upset he was when she was missing, it is his baby). He did see it as a way to make some money, which is more than some kids would have done. Not the best idea, but at least something. He needs someone to show him why things are a bad idea. Push for barber school some more. He would have a real chance for a future that way. Right now, I blame the foster parents more than anyone. They're not doing their job. They're housing Dude but they're not guiding him in the least. Given they know you do have and want a relationship with your son, there is absolutely no excuse for them even mentioning a birthday dinner to you. They should have been asking your plans and then working around them. They should have been talking to Dude about the dog, not yelling at him or at you. They need to be helping him find a job or a career path. They haven't had him long, but certainly long enough to know where he needs help and doing their best to help him as much as they can. They haven't. [/QUOTE]
