during the month i couldnt care for it because of my living situation. She knew i would come back to get my dog, but i feel somewhat bad for asking for my dog back.
I've had the dog for almost a year and i was afraid she would get close, my dog is a chihuahua and he is very sweet and loving.
My daughter wants the dog back too. She is seven.
Would I get more sympathy and understanding if i told her my daughter wants the dog back?
I should offer some compensation of course for her trouble.
How can i break the news to her, that it's time i get my doggy back?
Answers:
TELL her that it's time for your dog to come home now and do offer her some kind of compensation for the care she has given your dog. TELL her that you REALLLLY appreciate her caring for your dog and know that no one could have given it better care and attention.
TELL her that you know that she has made somewhat of a bond witht the dog as it is almost impossible for animal lover not to bond, and that she is welcome to visit and you will bring the dog to visit her at times.
TELL her in a "matter-of-fact" fashion. DO NOT give her a chance to say YES or NO to you. Do not say "I hate to do this but."
Make it a plain out "Well I'm able to take vcare of my dog now and it's time for her/him to come home. We are soooo excited" NO IFs ANDs ot BUTs about it. Never let it out of your mind that it is still your dog.
TELL her in a nice way...Do not ASK her. You are NOT ASKING permission to take your dog home. Best wishes.
Well it's YOUR dog, so even if she grew attached to it, she knew and agreed to give it back.
She'll be able to see the dog if she's your friend right? When she stops over.
You had it for a year, she had it for a month. It's your dog, you get it back, despite what she feels for it
tell her this hey my daughter is crying for the dog and i told her its OK hell come back then laugh and be like she will get so mad if i don't get the dog back laugh and then at the end be like can i get the dog back so my daughter won't cry
you should try to get her a dog so the supplies she bought for your dog don't go to waste and she has a loving companion that's her own
Even though she might have gotten close to your dog, she still knew you were going to be getting your dog back. I would say just politley say that you have gotten to a situation where you can now care for your dog becuase of your new living situation. She should understand that you love her just as much and that you can have her back w/ out using your daughter. Hope I helped. :)
first of all its your dog! Just say I can take care of it now if your freind really wants a dog she can go get her owen
Just talk to her about it if she knew you would want the dog back someday she should be expecting it. If your living situation was really the reason you had her watch the dog in the first place she should know that you now have a place where the dog can stay with you and she should be expecting you to ask for the dog back. Good Luck...be brave!!
Go get your DOG! What news is there to break? What sympathy and understanding do you need? Get her a plant or something and thank her for doing you the favor!
she knew you would come back for it yet she got too attached to your dog just tell start off by thanking her for taking such good care of your dog and ask would it be OK if i come by to pick the dog up.its your dog and she agreed to it.good luck.
If the original agreement was that your friend would care for the dog until you were able to take it back, then simply tell her you are now in a situation that you can adequately care for the dog and you are ready to take her back. Yes, I would offer her some compensation for the time, effort, and expense it takes to care for a dog.
If the situation was that you could not care for the dog and gave it to your friend and now your circumstances have changed and you want the dog back, that is something else entirely. The friend took on the dog with the expectation that it was now her dog and probably has been forming a bond with it. If this is the case, then no, it is not fair for you to ask for the dog back.
Leave you daughter out of the situation entirely. Especially if we are talking about the second senario.
Just ask for the dog back. She knew that you would be back for the dog. But, if you feel that telling her that your daughter misses the dog, then go ahead.
Well, she knew it was coming... It is your dog and she should be okay with returning him. I don't think you should have to "blame" it on your daughter or anything; you're not doing anything wrong in asking for her to return him.
But you SHOULD definitely say "thank you" over and over again. Taking care of a dog isn't a small responsibility and she's a good friend to have done it for you. Tell her that. Offering to pay for the supplies she bought for him would be a respectful thing to do, though she may not want to accept it.
If she DID get really attached to him and was enjoying having him around, then maybe helping her get one of her own isn't a bad idea! There are lots of sweet chihuahuas and similar small dogs in rescue that need good homes really badly.
Good luck to you all.
It is your dog. So what if she is close to it. She can go buy her own dog if she wants one. Go and get YOUR dog back. It is your dog and you need to get it back, because it is YOUR dog. Plus it probable misses you.
naturally you want YOUR dog back. and naturally the dog has gotted a bit attached to your friend but it is still your dog. I don't see what the problem is her giving you your dog back. Maybe though just to be doing the right thing give your friend a little money to cover the food cost sence she did take care of it!! Of corse if you haven't done that already. just go get your dog back and and thank your friend for all the help. it's not like your friend won't come visit you and get to see the dog!!
I had one on a temperary basis - believe me by the time he left I was ready to drive him halfway acroos the country to see him settled- ANY good home not mine!
don't worry, she'll be expecting to give the dog back to you. She'll know you love the dog more than she does, and it is your dog, so she'll be happy to see it back in its right home. She can always come and visit it.
I cared for my aunts two cats while she was moving. She never came back for them, just as she left her other cats when she was moving before that with my grandma, but I would have been more than willing to give them back if she ever came back.
