Never. Never, never, never. I hope she never gets another pet. Who knows when she would just throw it away?

Regarding the OP, people do have responsibilities to their pets. You can't just leave them alone for extended periods of time. If there is a situation that requires you to be away, then you need to make the appropriate arrangements, but don't think that people should just be ok with leaving their pets at the drop of a hat with no supervision just because they're animals.
Oh please, my daughter and her children have the opportunity to travel and they PAY to have their dog cared for when they are seeing the world. No animal is going to stop them. They love their dog, but they also love life and themselves...

I can't imagine how I would have handled my being in the rehabs/hospital for just under 5 months if I had a pet(s). My situation is a one in a million, maybe, and one I never ever anticipated. Down on the floor and away on a gurney to the hospital. If animals were running around my apt...good grief.


At one of the rehabs a room mate came in and she had been gone for 3 weeks she said, and pretty sick lady, and the stress of knowing 3 cats were waiting for her return, good god, she said her sister went in to feed them but she dreaded walking into her apt, but had to get there.

Ok, well that's them. My mom watches my cat when I go on vacation, but if she couldn't, I really wouldn't be ok with leaving my cat with a stranger. My cat doesn't eat well when I'm not around, and I'd be too worried about her to have a good time.

I think this neighbor would be weirded out if she knew how much you write about her on the internet. How many threads have you made about this woman now? This is at least the third that I've seen, I think.

My daughter says their dog Loves when the care giver takes care of her. She's like a different dog, much more behaved. Just like children can behave nicely with new people caring for them...they take their parents for granted..

Cats don't warm up to people as quickly as dogs do though. My cat isn't really comfortable around anyone except me.

You know, you're right. This neighbor crops up here and there especially the part about her hip surgery. Its kind of an opener/excuse/vehicle for threads about bad surgical outcomes and the crooked medical profession. I wish the OP could quit speculating and leave this poor neighbor alone. She's made her decisions for better or worse and that is no one else's concern. She would probably be very hurt and embarrassed to find out how she's been written about and that's she's being used for another's agenda.

I just did a quick search of threads started by the OP and on just the first page of the search results were all of these threads about this neighbor:

I agree, wholeheartedly....

OP posts about the medical status of this poor woman, something she should keep to herself...

Animals are all about survival. They have no emotional attachment to us as humans. None at all. You must not read so much into the human-animal relationship. They are not thinking, feeling beings as humans are. Reach out to other human beings, not animals. Don't think substituting "human" relations with "animal" ones is the same. It is not. They are merely what they are. Animals only.

I see far too many people who misread the animal relationship as so much more than what it really it. It borders on mental illness, in my opinion.
Your information is incorrect but I'll leave it at that since your mind is made up.
