@ourpreciousbaby

You know what I'll tell you this. I didn't toss him to the side. I gave him to people who promised to take care of him 1,700+ miles away. I had no idea what was going on until we got home. Also I don't think you're familiar with airline travel it's not just $150 and that's it. It's $480 to fly a boxer with United who is the only airlines who fly short snout breeds plus a $100 health certificate from the vet saying he's healthy to fly. I couldn't take him back even if I wanted to. I didn't want any of this. I didn't plan on my son having colic and sleeping literally 2-4 hrs a day. I have had my dog since he was a baby and he's 2 years old now, he wasn't just some stray I picked up. I wanted to give him to someone who will love him. But when dh protested, I wanted someone to take care of my dog until we got back to California because my husband works for Navy so we do not plan on staying where we live. I feel you didn't even read what I said and just looked at the picture. I love my dog and your reply seriously stung a little. But whatever I already feel like shït, nothing anyone can say make me feel lower than I already do.

Don't leave the dog with them.. I would keep him or rehome him. I don't think begging your sil to feed him will do anything because it's not her dog it's your fur baby and it's your responsibility to leave him with people who are gonna love him like he is their own.

Oh good! I thought you were saying you moved to California and left him in Wisconsin. But then remembered you live here. ?

@storm he lives in California, weather isn't as bad as Kenosha but he has a warm dog house.

Was his staying at mils or bil? I would be pissed. They know how much you love that dog and to see them neglect him, I would be furious. You know what's best for your dog. Dh will have to get over it. What did he say to bil?

Why don't you have him crated and shipped to be flown to California with you?? If that's your fur baby I would think you wouldn't mind spending $150 with your airlines to have him shipped to where you are so you know he's safely with you. I would go to this ends of the earth for my fur babies and my baby. I've moved across the country plenty of times and they ALWAYS come with me. No ifs and or buts. Their a part of our family and always will be. You best bet $150 on a one way ticket for my pups from American Airlines would never and I mean NEVER stand in the way of having my dogs by my side or let alone the excuse of having a baby. I don't think it's fair to the dog before you had your baby you took on the responsibility to care for him and because you've have had life changes you've just given up on him and now he's neglected. That dog NEVER did anything to deserve this and it breaks my heart that he's been cold and starving because of your choices of not taking responsibility for him. You pretty much tossed him to the side which isn't right.

Oh mama, I'm so so sorry!! I know how much you love him. I hope you're able to figure out the best thing for him. This makes me so mad for you.

Oh please tell me this poor guy had a shelter during the -35 degree weather yesterday!

@pp Marley is a boxer so he needs twice the amount of physical activity and he loooooved to play. I felt like I wasn't giving him the attention he deserved.

But after talking it over with my husband we are going to get him healthy and he doesn't want to give him away. I just want everyone to stop being selfish and think for a second what this dog needs...

I can't get passed the cage. Is he outside? Does he have a heater? I live in south Texas and it's feeling like 20 degrees out. When I worked at the vet clinic I can't tell you how many people brought in dogs that froze to death and the owners just couldn't figure out why. Make sure he has a heat source while you're there and ask them for daily pictures until you rehome him. I'd look up boxer rescues in the area that you can surrender him to. I would LOSE IT on my brother if I came to visit and he was treating the dog I gave him like this. This really hit home for me...my boxer weighed 19 pounds when I picked her up. She was so skinny her hips were sunken in and she looked like a dead carcass. She collapsed in my arms when she came to me and it took lots of food, trust building, and love to get her back to a healthy weight. It also took over a year...get him before it's too late and you have to deal with what I did. I had to amputate her leg because she was so malnourished that a broken bone wouldn't heal. I hope my info helps you in some way..and I hope you don't take it as me being rude (I know your emotions are probably running high).

Would it still be impossible to take him home with you now that your son is older and doesn't have colic anymore? I feel your pain with the crying nights...I just feel like maybe it's best you don't rely on anyone else since they obviously suck.

Now that you're in California, why can't you take him home with you? There are no breed restrictions against boxers here, shoot, my landlord told us no dogs period and we still adopted a pitbull. She never found out!

Okay, I don't want to sound harsh but you call him your 'fur baby'. Would you leave your child behind cause you had another child? No, I don't think you would. It is difficult looking after a colicky two month old but couldn't your husband help out? I personally would never leave a dog behind. He thought you was his forever family ☹️ this really upsets me. Could you not take him back?

I get upset seeing any animal neglected so I can't imagine how upset you are. We are huge boxer lovers so this makes me sad. Our boxer is currently snoring away next to our bed.

Poor baby! I wouldn't be able to leave him behind- can you not take him with you now?

I'm confused about why you couldn't keep him yourself? Just because you had your son? Or you moved also? I'm not trying to be rude, just genuinely confused.

Breaks my heart ?

Omg I hope you find a good home for that fur baby ??

I really hope that mom adopts your fur baby. That'd be so amazing!

@pp if you really are looking for a dog let me know! Dh doesn't know I'm rehoming him but no I don't care. I listened to him last time, this time I'm going to be listened to. I'm not going to let my baby suffer anymore, I know now that bils only care about themselves. F this living situation for my poor dog.

@pp I just want Marley to go to someone who will love him! He is a chill dog.. When I could not play with him he would lay next to ds and I and enjoyed the company. I would totally give him to you if you lived nearby SoCal! (LA)

I know a friend who is a vet and he came by to check Marley and said if we mixed wet food with his dry he will pick up the calories faster and he definitely should not be fed once a day... I wish they told me they could not take care of Marley, instead bils just fed us lies...

Omg this is facked up ??

My heart breaks for you and your doggy, how awful. I would take the dog to a no kill shelter or post him find him a new home asap that is not ok and if they knew you were coming and didn't bother to take care of the dog then they surely won't do it when you leave. Save your baby, find Marley a new home

This pisses me off so bad. Shame on them. I hope you find a new home for him quickly!
