[soon to be mom]

We got this puppy from someone who had to get rid of her immediately. We have had an invisible fence for our other 2 dogs, we certainly thought we had the ideal home for her. But after reading a lot of posts here I was feeling like our situation was not as ideal as was previously thought. We have an invisible fence because we don't want a physical fence. And maybe it's just me here on these posts, but I don't want to have a dog and have to have her in a kennel, to me this is not fair to the dog either. We have to do a lot of thinking here, because when it's inclimate weather, do we want to have to run her out to a kennel? I really don't think so. With our other dogs, we just open the door, they go out to do what's needed and come back in. I don't want to have to be with her at all times, to me it's very unrealistic. I work at home, ideal, but if the phone rings (my job)and the dog needs or wants to go outside, i have to take the incoming call and cannot go outside. It is not acceptable for the client to hear that you are working from your home, it must be a quiet. We didn't realize a Rott was all that diferent from any other breed, we figured if we trained her to the best of our best ability (with professional training), and socialized her we were all set. So no "how sad for the dog" here. If we didn't care, we wouldn't be here asking questions, I think "very lucky dog" to have people that care about it's welfare. Thank you to everyone...........Marie
