I hear you Sachita, but also know from my own experience that the most wonderful intentions don't always work out....we got a full-size rough collie, expecting to keep her forever, but found that she was simply more dog than we could handle. She wasn't happy...and we weren't either. I ended up giving her to a friend of the family who adores her (and she him)...and she's now a happy dog. What pisses me off is people who get to that "oops" point and just dump them rather than find a better fit for them....and, even more, those that randomly breed puppies and kittens (either for money or just because they're cute). If you aren't a breeder who knows what they're doing...I truly believe all animals should be spayed or neutered.
As far as the word I'm (more than) tired of....I'm with the "whatever" crowd. Ugh! Disagree with me...fine. "Whatever" me....now I'm pissed.
