Anonymous asked: you obviously can't imagine yourself in anyone else's shoes other than your own then. i completely believe their apartment lifestyle was the determining factor in not being able to adopt a dog. they are great people, and live a super active lifestyle. but they don't have a backyard, or space, so they have to make the extra effort to exercise their dog. perhaps the shelter believed they wouldn't. i don't know if you've tried to adopt lately, but they basically want your first born son.

You are right. I can’t imagine myself in your aunt and uncles shoes or that of the shelter. All I know is that you come up on my blog in a condescending way to tell me your super specific story with little details and I’m supposed to take back this idea of adopting > buying. No. If someone is turned down from multiple shelters than there is obviously a reason and they shouldn’t have a dog. If multiple shelters turned me down I would change my lifestyle to fit the needs of the animal I want to share my life with. If that wasn’t possible I would accept that maybe I am not in a position to have an animal in my life at that moment and that hopefully in the future I will be in the position to rescue one.
