Getting on my soapbox

[wolffe]

Just got an email from someone whose friend is looking for a puppy. They specified that she wanted a "house size" puppy. I don't understand that concept. Every dog is "house size" to me. My feeling is, why have a dog if you're just going to segregate it from the family by keeping it outside all the time? And honestly, the bigger dogs I've known have been the biggest couch potatoes.

And why the hell hasn't this person gone to a shelter already anyway? All the shelters and rescues I know are chock full right now, puppies included.

Of course, I do know what she meant. But it still irks me.

Gah. I'm too emotional for this right now. I just bought a license plate cover for my SUV. This one.
