A girl in one of my FB groups posted this.....I think we can relate...

1. Spelling 101: Female dogs are "spayed," not... "spaded" or "spade." Your puppy from Petland or a breeder is "purebred," not "purebreed" or, heaven forbid, "pure bread." Dogs are administered "rabies," not "rabbies" vaccinations. And you respond to an "ad," not an "add."

2. Please refrain from attempting to make the public-at-large feel guilty because you waited until moving day to find a home for your pet and now you might have to take him to a shelter.

3. If you found a stray dog, bathed him, fed him, got him vaccinated, let him sleep at your residence and played with him, he's your dog. He's not a "foster." No one is buying that notion no matter how you try.

4. A reason for rehoming a Great Dane should never be because she "got too big." I mean, really?

5. Anyone who posts that they are looking for a Chihuahua OR a Siberian Husky to adopt ought to take a real hard look at what breed of dog is actually compatible with his or her lifestyle, then dog-sit my my Husky or Alaskan Malamute for 24 hours and report back.

6. If you are trying to adopt a dog/cat, at least spell the breed name correctly.

7. If you are trying to rehome your dog/cat, at least spell the breed name correctly.

8. Punctuation and grammar are your friends. A wall of capitalized letters strung together is not.

9. If you think you can't keep your dog AND have a baby, stay on birth control.

10. If one has given away his or her pet to someone and failed to check references, inspect the home, or obtain valid contact information of the adopter, then maybe that person should not be trying to get their pet back.

lol!
