@ThomasTheBro,
I guess it does no good to tell you to find new parents. That is a vicious threat.

@ThomasTheBro,
What activities? feeding the dog, walking him?
Or other household or school activities?

I'd go to cadet activities and keep the dog.

That is, I'd go if the dog is more important to you than not going.

It's your choice.
Going to cadet activties won't kill you, but getting rid of your dog might kill him, or at the very least be traumatized he was taken away from his pack.





Yes, there's your answer on A2K.

@chai2,
He already knows the consequences. You wanna add something new?

@cicerone imposter,
I don't think he does really understand the full meaning of the consequences.

Maybe he need a stranger who he's not emotionally involved with to point out the reality that his refusing to do something temporarily, he will end up with a permanent loss.

It would be pretty bad if 5, 20, 30 years from now he thinks, "why didn't I just go? I didn't have to lose my dog"

Rather than think of his own desires, he can fall back on concentrating on another living things needs.
The dog needs him more than he desires to not go to cadet activites.

Desires, needs. Needs should always come out on top.

I don't want to assume he's already thought of all this. If he had, chances are he wouldn't have come here.

Sorry, I didn't mention that cadets got me late for school homework and took all my free time away, also my dog has anxiety problems which means he bites every stranger he sees and we have to triple the time in him. I don't want to spend my childhood doing things I don't want to, having no time for myself and getting bad grades because of some stupid activity.

Somebody call the wahbulance.

I guess giving your dog away will really help with his anxiety, huh?

You admit you're a child. A child does what his parents say.

You're a real ring tail tooter, aren't ya?

You're just waiting for someone to tell you that you don't have to go to cadets, and that you should keep your dog.
