"Rehoming" is a relative term, when you figure I didn't "own" all of them to begin with. Yes, I did legitimately FOSTER a lot of dogs... therefor, rehoming was appropriate. There were several dogs where the line of ownership/foster status was apparently blurred enough that rehoming them caused some people to start accusing me of dumping dogs.
I'm seriously considering making a blog-thingy that has the story of each dog being used against me by this small group of people, just so I don't have to keep repeating myself :rofl1:
But thank you for your compliments on my boy
Yes, just see d) of my post. I am confused.
Part of the discussions seems to including debating the lines of foster/permanent addition.
This got me more confused as to whether they were added as fosters or not:
Sometimes, despite all that planning and research, a dog still isn't a proper fit for the home and must be returned. Such is life!!
Regardless of the reason you got each dog, I think it's not so cut and dry, and describing a dog as "mine" doesn't mean it's not a foster. Say you find a dog on the street, take it in, don't find any sign of an owner, you don't know whether it's going to fit into your life or whether you're going to keep it. Is it really so bad to say it's your dog, implying it's a permanent addition, rather than saying "I have two dogs. Oh, and this other one. It may or may not be a foster and I may or may not keep it?" One shouldn't need to explain all that, IMO.
Again, I don't know the story of the dogs that were rehomed or adopted out, so I have nothing to judge. Just my thoughts on the complaints of you not distinguishing whether a dog is a foster or not.
