Dad takes his son to the shelter just to meet a few dogs - but insists they wouldn't adopt one...💞
We talked to Dad about why he was nervous about it, and what it was like introducing their new dog to their cat!

I refused my youngest son for two years. I was only thinking of my finances and not how much he needed a best friend and companion. I was put on the spot one day and here we are about to celebrate his sweet Daisy’s 14th birthday. I have never been so happy to have been so wrong while also being ashamed at being so wrong. Every kid deserves a dog/pet.

@shirley9240 Ай бұрын

You should not feel bad at all. So many don’t consider what is involved when adopting a pet and the poor pet winds up back at the shelter. When the time was right, you did what was right and wound up with your perfect pet. Well done!! 💞

@Lauren-vd4qe Ай бұрын

thank u for being honest

@iyamwhatiyam547 Ай бұрын

Happy Birthday Ms Daisy... and there's no room for shame in being a good Mom. If you hadn't waited, you might not have found ur girl. Kismet. Dogs and kids ♥

@misshoneynevercame4832 Ай бұрын

Don't feel bad. You wanted to be responsible. Owning a dog can be expensive. Especially the trips to the vet. Most people don't even consider these costs because they only want to hold a cute puppy. I wish more people were like you. It would save us from stray animals.

@ellengrace4609 Ай бұрын

Agree with the others! Don’t feel shame for being a responsible parent. Side benefit, by waiting for two years, you taught your son patience, persistence, and an understanding that you can’t always have what you want immediately. Great job, mom! ❤❤❤

I lost my dog of 18 years just this last year. Her name was "Stella," as well. Sometimes, you make that connection, and it can't be denied. Keep them close for as long as you got them, folks. It's not about how many years are in their lives. It's about how much life is in their years.

LOVE dogs - and cats, only ever had cats due to multiple reasons. Losing someone who has been with you for that long - I am so sorry, mate. My cat's 12,loving, and active, but we know it is a limited time, could be 3 months, could be 8 years I don't believe in god, but if you do, god bless you.

Wasn’t allowed pets as a child, and haven’t been without at least two dogs for all of my adult life (I’m in my late 50s). Judging from this video, these parents have figured out it’s not necessarily “for the child,” it’s to expand their family and enrich their lives… ALL of their lives. Good stuff!

@iyamwhatiyam547 Ай бұрын

I grew up with 2 dogs in the yard. As an adult its been 2 dogs where ever I am. Car rides, travel, inside, outside, hiking & patio time. Turn around they are right there. All good stuff :)

I rescued a small abandoned dog and the vet kept her while I searched for her owners or a new home. On line I went on my favorite message boards talking about how I couldn't have a dog, as I already hed two cats. Practically the first response was "So, what are you going to name her?" She became my first dog.

you've never gone window shopping? I actually approve of this method. It teaches patience. And that not all wants and desires are met instantly. That's a huge problem for a lot of people these days - instant gratification. That turned out well. Now we have practically everybody on one drug or another looking for that immediate reward. But I still respect your opinion, Jennifer. :)

I feel like the dad was inclined to get one but didn't want to get his kid's hopes up, _but_ wanted to give his kid a surprise if the right dog was there

Glad to see how realistic the owners are about the cost of owning a pet. It’s ridiculously expensive and unfortunate that there’s not many veterinarians like Dr. Jeff in Colorado who gives pet owners a break when they love their pets but can’t afford to pay for the medical care they need. It’s heartbreaking to hear about pet owners having to euthanize them because they don’t have the resources.

I am very grateful to my parents for allowing us to have all the animals we wanted. I remember we had a dog, a cat and a parrot at the same time. We told mom what we wanted, she told dad and he said "okay". The dog loved dad more than anyone else, they did everything together - walked, ate, slept. I miss that time very much 🧡
