It’s possible she tipped in cash; I usually do. But I write “cash” where the tip goes and also write my total, because I’m not a lazy asshole.

The rock-climbing pic. Oh, that rock-climbing pic... just... ugh. I don’t know if it’s on Tinder (probably), but last I checked, it was an online dating profile staple.

I know!! What is that??

The only reasonable comment on this topic thus far. It’s amazing how people react to herpes when as recently as the 1970s or whatever decade pre-Valtrex, it was not a big deal! It was only stigmatized to make money for pharma. And before everyone gets up in my face about it, yes it’s deadly to babies but that is both…

So the Venn diagram of hardcore GOT fans and total wankers is as overlapped as we thought. Got it.

Or she did look at those things, and through consulting several dog trainers she decided that an offer for a better home for her dog was a good idea. Some dogs are fine living a jet-setting lifestyle, some are not; and often two is better than one because they entertain each other a bit when owners are busy.

I dislike Lena Dunham immensely but I’ve worked in animal welfare for years and yes this does happen. Sure, there are assholes who don’t even try but if what this trainer is saying is true, she did her best and this is not a good fit for both of them. It is entirely possible Lena’s lifestyle is triggering to the dog;…

Two of the shelter dogs I have are great, but one... She never recovered, and just got progressively worse. She was very unpredictable with children, adults other than me, and other dogs. I took her to a trainer and was told to put her down. I didn’t! But until her last day she was unstable, and I lived in fear of her…

Agreed. Rehoming is usually not this complicated, but it can be, and if an individual comes to the conclusion that they cannot give a particular animal what it needs and decides to rehome (and I think it should be emphasized that what Dunham did is a lot different from dumping your animal outside a shelter or…

What are reasonable expectations of someone who adopts a dog? She spent four years and tons of money and the problems are still happening, including biting. She didn’t drive out to the country and abandon it, she found a new home for it.

I’m not getting it . . . I call people I love “my [their name]” all the time. It’s not possessive*; it’s just a way of showing affection.

The vicious judgment about Lena’s dog is so sad...if you hate her you probably haven’t heard much about the story of that dog, how much she loved him and how hard she tried. Lamby repeatedly bit people, badly. You can’t responsibly keep a dog after 4 years trying to correct that behavior.

I have had a foster dog for 3 years. He can’t leave, and I can’t formally adopt him yet because of his behavioral issues. He was gentle and friendly in the shelter— because he’s an extremely sensitive dog, and when you separate him from me, he shuts right down. The rescue and I have worked with 3 dog trainers, and…

But... you still don’t know her dog.

Sorry but this story is shit-stirring and mean.

Eh. My mom got the sweetest dog at the shelter about a year and a half ago, and eventually he turned into a growler and a biter and a dog with food aggression. Through multiple trainers and boardings, she’s finally looking to re-home him. It really does happen.

I think parenthood can be great for people, but we need to stop putting it on some kind of pedestal like you become a master of the universe for raising a family.

WHATTTT!!!!
