COOL OR NOT COOL: Hey, Can I Borrow Your Dog??

Ok, so I'm sure no one will be shocked at the news that several times a week, some cool ass BR-ALLERS will email me about the ridiculous shit that's goin down on Park Slope Parents. It doesn't really take a mathematician to figure out this formula: at any given moment, you can pretty much guarantee that there is a long, drawn-out, entirely ridiculous discussion going on about SOMETHING on PSP.

To add insult to injury, rather than just sit back and accept the motherfucking publicity that I give them virtually every single time I post about them, they practically send me cease and desist orders-n-shit.

Anyway, this bullshit was just too whacked out, so I HAD to post.

Since I'm not allowed to post the exact message without hiring a lawyer, let me summarize it for your asses:

• Some BREEDER's kid wants a dog
• The BREEDER thinks she wants a dog too, but she's not sure if the novelty of the whole thing will just immediately wear off and then she'll be stuck with an unwanted "fur child."
• In order to try to reduce the chances of that happening, she's wondering if someone might have a kid-friendly dog she can "borrow" for a few days.

UHM.

All together now: AYFKMWTS???

The first Einstein who wrote her back on the thread actually suggested she go to the Sean Casey Animal Rescue to see if they could "loan" her a dog for a few days.

Again, A-Y-F-K-M-W-T-S???

Do you know how utterly cruel it is to go pick up a poor, scared dog from an animal shelter, bring it home to your kickass Park Slope brownstone, make it think it's coming to live with you and your family, and then pack its ass back up in a day or two only to hightail it back to the place dogs go when no one wants them anymore??? No obviously, you don't lady on PSP, so let me tell you: VERY FUCKING CRUEL.

And while there ARE all sorts of dogs with all sorts of tolerance levels, our dog Oliver is a member of our family and is treated as such. He doesn't just get "dropped off" willy nilly to a complete stranger's house that I meet on a motherfucking listserv. What sort of animal owner would go for some retarded arrangment like that??

I appreciate that this chick is trying to do a bit of research (as anyone thinking of getting a dog SHOULD), but come awn, ppl.

I mean, am I just a crazy dog lady, or does this PSP poster actually deserve to be punched in the tits??
