[QUOTE="Star*, post: 165992, member: 4964"] Well Well .....WELL>>>>>>>>>.ARGH...... Got to the fosters house - Dude wasn't there to greet us. His puppy was lying in sand, covered in fleas, outside, filthy and in 100 degree heat. NOT IN MY BOOK, but not my dog. WhymeMom - you and DF were thinking alike on this. They GET plenty of money to take care of him. And they rented a house - so they are on the beach. His concern was give Dude cash and he'll get into trouble. So we talked with fosters about how hard he's been working and.....they laughed. They told us he is the laziest teenager they have ever seen - except for today, which he did work hard, but ONLY today. They called him home and he has NOT saved a nickle towards his probation fines. Grrrrr. We asked him to show us the money he had and he said he had not gotten it yet. He told me he had about $75.00. The fosters asked if HE thought todays work was going to pay $75.00? He got angry and left the room. We did take $50.00 to give to him, but he couldn't even stand still for 5 minutes and sit down to talk to his parents to get - the beach towel, sun tan lotion, new sun glasses, croakies, and camera we were giving him. He shoved it all into a plastic bag and said "i gotta go" and ran out the door. (His girlfriend was outside) and he left us sitting in the fosters house talking to them -and well....we ALL had better things to do than discuss how lazy Dude is. We walked outside, and DF said to the fosters "I'm going to hand you $25 for Dude to spend on himself. Originally we were going to give you $50 and i was going to kick in $25, but we thought he had been doing what he was supposed to here, and with his puppy." They agreed he took good care of the puppy but had been leaving her alone more and more. According to how they keep their dogs - this seems normal. To them dogs are dogs. They have fleas, they have a shepherd, a rottie and 5 indoor smaller dogs - the yard is infested, the house is infested and our poor granddog was lying in the sand/dirt, covered with fleas, and so hot it took her almost 30 seconds to wake up.
