Lies you've told Chaz

I agree.
I don't see the point of going out of your way to lie? Why say that you have 33 OTCH's if you don't? Why say that you are showing your dogs if you're not? Why say that you're competing in agility if your dog doesn't even know basic commands? It's just stupid because eventually you may get into a situation where you're going to just get caught.

I have posted on here before that I would "like" to leave Juno here when I move out, and then get another dog.
I don't see the issue with leaving dogs at home, unless they're going to be neglected.
I can't recall blatantly lying about something. Have I lied through omission, perhaps, just so I don't have to read comments that I don't care to see. But I don't make stories up and I don't go out of my way to hide things.

I don't share much on here despite joining back in '05. I prefer to lurk mostly, though I do comment occasionally so I don't think that I've lied on here.
This thread doesn't sound horrible. Online forums are communities and I know that forums become really great when most people get along. Hiding things (different then just not sharing) or feeling the need to lie isn't very constructive overall and having a place to share and get it off of one's chest without an shark frenzy coming along after might be a good way for this community to grow and become a better place for longtime members, long time lurkers and new members alike.

I don't think I've intentionally lied or kept secrets here. And I haven't been here long enough to have forgotten about it if I did, so I'm pretty confident in saying I've been honest.
If anyone thinks otherwise feel free to say so though!
Anything I haven't shares simply hasn't come up yet I guess. Of course I could go ahead and write an extensive play-by-play autobiography to sure I share everything ever but that would be boring even to me lol.
lol I've actually seen that one. Not here, on another forum. Except I think it was 30 OTCHs. Funny.

I don't think it's bad so long as they're taken care of, but I would take the well being of the dog into account first and foremost. If I hadn't thought Nikki would have been truly better off with my parents, I would have loved to take her myself. It killed me to have to leave her behind. I think it really depends on the individual situation. Nikki was so old and set in her ways and I was young and wanting an active dog that in the end it just wasn't fair. If it would have been better for HER to go with me, then I wouldn't have gotten Summer.
Sorry for the slight OT.
Same person, different forums.

Yeah that's the kind of lie that I really just DON'T get. When I was 16/17 I was on a conformation oriented list (back when we got Beau to show) and there was a girl that would claim to have so many show dogs. Of course eventually she posted dogs that was 'hers' that some of the real show people recognized and realized weren't hers. Turns out none of the dogs were hers, she just made it all up to try to impress people.
I don't get the point of that.
Kind of like having 33 OTCHs. Why even say that? Everyone's going to know you're lying.

I don't think I've lied actually.
Lets see...
Suzie has fleas. That I've been trying to get rid of for a while now, but its not a secret, several people know that, and its why she didn't get to go meet Jess.
She was only spayed several months back, but that's not a secret either.
IF she had a oops litter, I don't know what I would have done. Most likely gotten a emergency spay, if my parents let me. But I don't know if I would post it here or not, probably just ask people in Chat, I don't know

Chaz is the first forum where I have been completely honest with Classic's behavioral issues. I chose to not be honest on other forums because his breeder has chosen to blame all his issues on me, from the fact that I'm not training like Cedar Milan, that I'm not a leader to my dogs and that I gave the rabies vax at 6 months. She will find what I say, someone will tell her so it is not worth the emotional abuse to be honest elsewhere. Im 99% certain that whatever i say in this forum will not get back to her, which is why I joined in the first place.
So people do have reasons to lie... maybe not out of mallace but to protect their own well being. I spent classics first year of life blaming myself for his issues even though I knew better.

I've been completely honest on here... though there are things I haven't really mentioned on Chaz for fear of possibly being attacked by some people. There are quite a few Chazzers who already know though. For one thing. I don't have my cat, Goober, anymore. Nor do I have my ferret. I gave Goober to a friend of mine as a wedding gift because Goober was just way more attached to him and because they could give him the outdoor life I couldn't. I was living near a really busy street with a cat that was obsessed about trying to get outside and I was worried about him running out onto the busy street and getting hit by a car. Anyone who has been around Goober know just how obsessed that cat was about the outdoors. The people I gave him to lived in a quieter area where he could go outside without having to worry about cars so much. I miss that cat like crazy, but I felt it was in his best interest. As far as the ferret. I had wanted a ferret since I was a little girl so rehoming her was the last thing I wanted to do. We were planning to move to CA at the time to live with Josh's dad for a few months and since ferrets are illegal there we rehomed her to a lady who had multiple ferrets. We didn't end up moving to CA so ya I kicked myself for that one... but, she ended up in a really great home and from what I've heard she settled in quickly and absolutely loves the other ferrets. I never mentioned it on Chaz because ya I was worried about people jumping on my about it, but I made my decisions with plenty of hard thought and based on what I thought was best for those animals. I'll never rehome Bamm or Cricket though.... and honestly... I think I'm only going to stick with having dogs for a little while since I'm a better dog owner than I am a cat owner or ferret owner or the like. But... while I never mentioned me rehoming them... I never lied about the situation either.
