Well, you are fundamentally wrong. If you own your dog it is a possession.
They are posessions from a legal stand point, but that doesn't mean you could throw your dog in the trash like any other posession, in other words there's a difference...

No, but you can choose to wait for a regular vet rather than spending 3X the amount of money on an emergency vet.
I don't know that I'd agree with that, but I'd hope that someone who wants to be a vet wouldn't share your views.
It's a living, breathing thing that counts on it's "owner" to care for it.
I can't think of a single other of my possessions that fits that criteria, hence the rules are a little different.
How about a plant? It's alive. Breathes CO2. Needs it's "owner" to water it.
! I'm a murderer tenfold.
Just the same, someone that doesn't take care of their plants shouldn't be a botanist....
A plant is not a sentient being.
I'm reporting you to P.E.T.O.P!
People for the Ethical Treatment Of Plants
I've come to learn that people really, really love dogs. Believe me.....I know.
This disappoints me.
Too many words, not enough insults.
This was supposed to be a congrats thread.. a good thread. I don't understand why some people feel the need to judge someone else here, especially with little knowledge of who the person is. To work with animals is something I've always wanted to do. I've taken classes towards it and have volunteered at vet clinics before. So for you (pm5k) to tell me I shouldn't even want to be a vet based on what I said about my dog earlier is ridiculous. My dad tried raising us to believe what he believed, like not going to the dr... we wouldn't even go unless it was something fatal. He definitely doesn't believe in taking pets to doctors. Now if I felt that way, it would be different. But I really care about animals and I do take care of them. Is this your dream job or what? Did I take something away from you? Leave this thread alone already if you can't just say Congrats and move on. You're not going to change the fact that I got this job. So take your judgements somewhere else.
And I did say I couldn't afford to take him to an EMERGENCY vet. It could've waited, and I know when an animal needs to go to one. He didn't but I was still worried about him. I also said he was going to be looked at by the dr. my sis told me about... but you don't mention that anywhere. I never neglected him or acted like his life didn't matter to me. It was the complete opposite.
First of all, congrats on your new job. I'm sure you will love it and do great!
But .. really, PM5K isn't saying anything that bad. After all, in the thread, you mentioned the possibility of taking your dog to the vet. And a few people chimed in about emergency vets that were open and your response was:
And then you went on about how your sister knows a vet where he might be able to go or whatever.I just can't afford to take him to an emergency vet...
By reading this, it SEEMS that he might have needed emergency treatment and the only reason he wasn't getting it is because you couldn't afford it.
Though I don't agree with PM5K saying you shouldn't be a vet (or whatever else he might be saying), you really need to go back and re-read that thread.
A LOT OF PEOPLE thought the same thing that PM5K thought - that it sucked you weren't taking your injured/sick dog to the vet just because you didn't have money.
Yeah, and I knew when I said it that it was horrible. It did suck that I couldn't take him that day. I just don't like that he's saying I shouldn't even have this job because of that. I guess I should've elaborated on it more then but I was a little preoccupied.
I've got no dog in this fight.
*Pause for groans*
I do find it funny about the expertise coming from watching "Animal Cops."
Clearly I am the authority on this subject and all other subjects in The Club. Just agree with me and move on.
Did you miss the whole "standing up for your dog" part? Cracked me up.
Back on track:
Thanks for clearing that up.
And I don't think PMK said you shouldn't be a vet. I could be wrong, but I think he was implying that it's a careless at ude for someone who is striving to be a vet.
The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.
That's how it came across to me, too.
So how's the job going? Is the dog still alive?
You're such a ing asshat...
Three Caine quotes in one thread.
Too much?
At least CF had my back.
