I work in a creche and in the afternoons I look after 11 yr old girls.
Today I asked one of the children if she had gotten her new puppy as there was talk of her getting one.
She informed me that they got a puppy a little while back and she is now 14 weeks,they got her at eight weeks. I was delighted when she said it was a cavalier!
My delight soon faded when she told me the little one sleeps in the garage(the boiler is there so they feel it's warm enough)!
She stays out in the garden all day while they are at work/school! When I enquired as to when she can go in the house I was told she doesn't,the kids go out to play with her! (I'll bet there wasn't much going out to her the last few days it never got above 4 degrees and it's dark when they get home!).
I am devastated and appalled at both her parents and whoever sold them the puppy.
At risk of getting a telling off from my boss, I told the child that outside is no place for a cavalier and that she should tell her parents that!
She told me they may let her in when she's potty trained. The poor little thing has been with them since she was 8 weeks old-6 weeks now- and has never been allowed in the house.
I am so upset and can't get the poor little mite out of my mind
I know that there are homeless people out there etc. but to knowingly leave a little cavalier outside in this weather( I presume she has a kennel) although she did say that she stays outside! I was almost grilling the child for info and I don't think I hid my shock too well. Did I over react?
I can't stop thinking of her and how she must be starved for company and affection. It's out of my hands and I am sorry I asked now
Why did these people get a dog
