So far as I know, and that is not very, Lance Armstrong
does not talk about Kristin Armstrong in public.

Only have the one statement.

We have taken in a dog from someone else. They and the dog
had been frequent visitors. We loved the dog, the
transition was simple, and the owner continued to visit,
though from further away.

Not necessarily. Perhaps her giving the dog away made her neighbors
happy. Thus it was an inadvertant act of class. Further, it's moronic to
make the statement, or unconditionally agree with it, that giving a dog
away is classless. But you knew that; or maybe you didn't.

Giving a dog away for the reason she gave is classless. You may choose to
disagree. Not all dog (or other animals) giving away is classless. I have
a friend here in town who's son (7 years old) was just diagnosed with
cancer. His treatment lasts three years. ALL pets had to go and his
siblings had to be pulled from school because they will expose his to bugs
that could kill him in his weakened state. A difficult decision, but not
classless. Giving your dog away to follow a significant other is classless

As much as people want to humanize pets, dogs are not people with four
legs. This is a typical fundamental problem with many dog owners who do
not understand this. The dog doesn't particularly care who takes care of
it. It lives in the now. So, giving a dog away to be with a person is
not classless. If a choice has to be made between a human significant
other and a dog, only classless people would keep the dog.

black-white-black-white...nope, grey.

Depends on how the dog is given away and why. If the dog is given away
to a loving home because the owner realizes that taking the dog would
do the dog more harm than good, that's not classless. That's selfless.
Some countries have strict quarantine regulations. The dog may very
well have spent half a year (what's that in dog years?) confined until
quarantine period was over. Is that a classy thing to subject the dog
to? Methinks not.

Not a problem re France. I have a friend who took his dog with him to Paris
for a year. All you need is the proper paperwork.

In France, no one teaches their dog to go on the paper. They're all
trained to go on the sidewalk.

dogs aren't humans, but they are pack animals and they often do care
about the people and other animals they live with and where they live.
it's also true that they can become happy with a new owner. heck, i've
been left behind by boys i loved and now i am happy without them, but
adaptable doesn't mean the same as not particularly caring.

But I thought they moved to Spain, not France. What are the Spanish
laws? Do they have quarantines? I know Britain used to, and maybe
still does.

And putting the dog into quarantine (which is required on initial entry into
many European nations) for 6 months, just so you can keep the dog is what?

If she acquired the dog with the previous significant other, but kept it
after the split, then giving it back to move to Europe is certainly better
than putting the dog down, sending it to the pound, or leaving it in
quarantine under the care of strangers for 6 months.

i don't think those quarantines exist in britain to such a degree anymore-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_passport

however, before 2001-2003, i don't know if dogs traveling from the usa
to mainland europe needed to be quarantined for 6 months.

Perhaps she gave the dog to Tyler.
