I hate when dogs who were completely normal and healthy a couple months ago, come in suddenly really sick and dying. 
The one that got to me today is the 9 year old boxer who apparently is suddenly bleeding out somewhere. We had to send him for a blood transfusion. He's like, one of the few mean boxers that exists... but he loves his mom and she loves him, and it makes me sad and of course any time I see an ill boxer, I imagine that being Juno in a couple years.

Yeh, that. I honestly don't care if this is the first, or the third (for the record, pulling that number out of my ass because I have no idea if there's been more than one and don't care) dog she's gotten and returned to an ethical breeder. Some people want very specific dogs for very specific things, and that's OK. And you know what? Sometimes, dogs don't work out. Sometimes, people don't want "just pets" and don't want to wait 10-15 years for another working or sport prospect just because some overly idealistic furmommy came along and tried to guilt them into keeping a dog that isn't suited to their home or lifestyle. It's NOT as if this dog is being dumped off at the local pound or being locked in a crate and ignored until it's half dead. She's actually doing the responsible thing and working with her breeder to make sure that the dog is placed in a pet home that he's more suited for. The DOG is fine. The DOG is not being abused, is not emotionally scarred, and will get over it once he's settled into his new home and bonds with his new people.
So much this.
I've SEEN Falon with Aikon. In person. I know how much she cares about her dogs. Sometimes doing the right thing ISN'T keeping them. With the issues that Aikon has had, not only do they make him iffy for IPO, they make him iffy for any sorts of other sports. So he's going back to his breeder, BFD. He isn't going to end up in a shelter or on the streets.
If you have a post count of like 15 and most of those posts are slamming other members, sorry, your opinion doesn't matter. At all. You are a non entity.
People get dogs for different reasons and even if YOU don't understand those reasons, it doesn't make them wrong. Not every dog is right for every situation or person.
Falon, I understand if you need a break, but please don't make it permanent because some people can't resist kicking someone when they are down. Your support system is far higher in numbers than the detractors.

Really, you are such a jerk. Didn't Frag live with your ex for awhile? Wouldn't that constitute getting rid of him even if it was a couple weeks?
I NEED a dog. You might not understand that, but my friends do.

I need to get a TB test every year to volunteer at the zoo (which includes my practicum, which I need in order to graduate).
My TB test expired at the end of July.
There is a shortage of the stuff they use to do TB skin tests.
The alternative is a blood test.
The blood test costs $63 and is NOT covered by insurance.
I don't have $63 to spend on a test so I can work for free (it's not currently required in the department I work for pay in). :wall:

Yes, you are. You can have all my "good enough," if you want, to add to it. I don't have much, though.
I'm doing some things I thought I would never do.
That I definitely shouldn't do.
And I don't feel guilty.
I think the last part is the part that's bugging me the most. I spent some major time this week thinking it out and talking about it with a friend of mine, and, as he said. . . "I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't. . . because I know you, and you'll do whatever you want to do."

Falon, even though we're friends on facebook, I hope you'll decide to stay on Chaz.
It's a shame that people who responsibly rehome dogs get the same kind of treatment as people who dump their dogs in shelters.
Aikon (who is still a young puppy!) is going back to his breeder and will end up in an amazing home where he fits in perfectly. I wish all dogs could be this lucky. From everything I've read, Falon and her boyfriend are AMAZING dog owners. They both work with dogs on a daily basis and, on top of that, train and play sports with their own dogs.
Sometimes things just don't work out perfectly. What matters is that Falon is being a responsible owner who wants Aikon to be in the best home for him. It's very sad for Falon that it didn't work out, but I'd never say it's sad news for Aikon. He'll be back with his breeder and both she and Falon will find him his perfect forever home

Also, Rudysgal, I wanted to add a direct quote from Falon from her thread when she was getting Aikon:
From the very beginning, Falon planned on training him and possibly returning him. This isn't any kind of secret- she's been open from the beginning of getting this dog.
She's had the dog for a VERY short time (4 months?). Your comments in this thread are entirely inappropriate for this situation
