Hahaha! Cool, keep acting like you’re taking the high road. Everyone believes you. You’re really pulling it off flawlessly.

A *female celebrity* who we’re all supposed to hate because she’s not an Approved Feminist (TM) (see also: Taylor Swift.)

Some of the comments on this post are making my blood run cold. Women can be MAD SHITTY to women who don’t pass their approval bar.

That was Lesley Arfin, one of her season 1 writers.

Is she not allowed to ever get another dog because, despite trying a bunch of things, she couldn’t make it work with her first dog? Maybe these dogs are better suited for her or maybe she learned from mistakes she made with her first dog and will treat these dogs differently?

Have you ever noticed that being a mean, spiteful troll who talks shit about women’s bodies online usually goes hand in hand with bad grammar? I have.

Every time you try to look at Lena Dunham you see Gabourey Sidibe.

Yeah this whole nonsense of shitting all over her for being honest about her struggles with this dog that she pretty obviously loved and cared about is really gross to me. Sometimes animals need and absolutely SHOULD be rehomed. It’s sad but yeah, it fucking happens!! I love animals, I love my dog literally more than…

I am very enthusiastic about people re-homing their pets if that’s what they feel is right for their family. We’re not talking about dumping a dog off at the side of the road, we’re talking about finding a person better suited to care for this particular animal. Not all dogs mesh with all people.

Good lord, nothing like a story about a celebrity rehoming a pet to get all the Expert Dog Saviours out of the woodworks. She didn’t tie the bloody dog to a tree in the forest. She got a dog, there was clearly a problem between the dog and his environment/owner, the dog now lives somewhere else. There are so many…

I feel like most people are very uncomfortable having mixed feelings about someone which they hold a lot of animosity towards and need her to feel better about themselves. Lena brings a lot of this on herself, but I believe her attentions are pure. What happens when this information goes public, is another story,…

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…

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.

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.

Yeah. It sucks, but it does happen. I don’t think it’s super common - major quick onset personality changes (as opposed to gradual aging changes) are not something I see all that often as a vet, but a trainer or behavioralist will obviously have those cases filtered to them.

My ma adopted a shitzhu who was a baby machine for the first 7 years of her life. My mother is undiagnosed bipolar and focused all of her mania on this dog. Her demeanor and body language encouraged anxiety and neuroticism in the dog, which is expressed in aggressive and and nervous behaviour around other dogs and…

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.
