Dracona you are a lovely owner and mother to your two new dogs. I don't think the previous owner is being fair to you or the dogs. That is not nice she got rid of him because she wanted a great dane.

Does she have to come visit? Was it in a contract?

I adopted Gus from a small local shelter.... the woman offered to do his shots for free. And at first I did, and would take him to visit. But then she started being intrusive and telling me how to take care of him. I tried to ignore it but it got worse and worse so I finally just stopped taking him to see her.

Unless this person is you BEST friend so that she has to come over I wouldn't want her coming to see the dogs! They're both your's now and she shouldn't have any further contact with them. If she'd thought that much of them she wouldn't have even thought of putting them on Craig's list, much less even thought of getting rid of them so she could get another dog! These dogs should have come first with her. You need to ditch her visits and go on enjoying your new pals!!

Ive known her for 16 years, she is bi polar, and well, there are alot of reasons i dont like to hang out with her for extended periods of time. but the dog thing gets on my nerves, its just another thing to add to the list. she swore her husband made her get rid of him like she did, that he was gonna take him to humane society.
but then let her get a dane? she got rid of two of her 3 bostons, that she swore she would never get rid of, kept one, the newest addition, and went and got a dane. now she tells me how much she misses the one i got from her? and tells me what to do when she is around?
trust me. im really on the fence with never talking to her again and letting her have it. im tired of her complaining to me about how she only has 20 bucks to her name, then rubbing her brand new car in my face the next day, and how she is buying a new house and all these new things i got.
she was complaining that i havent done the dogs shots yet, i didnt know they were due, and im gonna have to wait a bit cause its not in my budget. it happens. shes like well i wish i would have known that, you know how i am about my dogs and their shots. i wouldnt have sold him to you.
UGH. i really want to go off on her.

I don't know her and I ALREADY hate her!!! LOL! Did she give you their shot records? How were you supposed to have known then?

This is a toxic relationship.Find a reason U cannot talk to her and get on with your life. Someone that makes life that unpleasant is not someone you want hanging around. Always remember U R special and your doing the best for your dogs and they love U and that is all that matters. Don,t listen to the crude any more.
Take care, Deb

I would sever the ties with her. The dogs are yours now and she doesn't have any say on how you take care of the dogs. I would think it puts stress on the dogs. They are getting confused on who to take commands from with the X owner is there.

She doesnt visit that often, and i think ive just become accustomed to her over the years, how she is. but she has gotten worse, sure, she claims bi polar, but she never takes her pills on time, if at all, its completely random. so there is no excuse.she has not been a very good friend lately. or even for a while.
if she was as good a friend as she claims, she would have not charged me, out the ass, for my unregistered baby girl, knowing that at a critical time in my life, that dog was the only thing that made me happy. she was my little savior.
