Jon Gosselin Gives Away the Family Dogs, Shoka and Nala (photos)

I am a loyal follower of this show - I have enjoyed watching these children & yes I even liked Kate & John.  Now I still like Kate but John is repulsive.  Anyone who has ever watched this show realizes that  he is not an assertive person.  She is. She has to be. Someone has to keep the organization in that house or it would swallow them alive. Kate stepped up to the plate and filled that role & from what I could tell John gladly ran around & did the footwork.  She has had outbursts on camera but spend a day in my house & you would see just as much or more. And I only have two children. I hope America can see now with the behavior he has exhibited how childish he really is.  She commented one time how she doesn't have eight children she has nine, including him..... I understand.  John is a womanizer &, by his own admission on ABC special with Chris, a child of parents whose own parents and relatives were alcoholics.  Eight children from that bloodline are at risk of being alcoholics & that is scary. It is up to Kate to raise these children to the best of her ability with the knowledge of this increased risk. For a father to get on national television & say he despises the mother of his children is beyond comprehension.  His relationship with his children is more important than any public perception he was attempting to improve. Kate has yet to speak poorly of him on any interview and for that she should be commended. Now he is blaming her for the dogs leaving. Step up to the plate John. Get an apartment close to the home, allow Kate to stay there primarily with the kids, visit them often & spend time with them and bring the dogs back..... that's what happens in the real world --- they need their mother as  a constant in their life & you sir need to grow up.

no reason to hurt everyone daddy i mean really and this is cara by the way your oldest

Animals are not things. This couple is another stain in the Universe. Having a pet is for life!!!

The owner of the kennel where the pups were bred, has a large farm in upper state NY. He said the dogs will not be separated or resold. He is planning on keeping them together at his place up north.  

Kate released a statement saying this is temporary. She needs some time to adjust and doesn't feel she has enough time to care for the dogs and everything else too.

If Jon was using his head for something besides holding on to his hair plugs he would have gotten a place in PA that was appropriate for his kids and enough room for his dogs.

While I don't agree with most things Kate does, I can understand feeling she doesn't have enough of her to go around, caring for 8 kids and 2 puppies. Even with help.

I got a divorce when my youngest was 1, plus I had 2 young school age kids. My ex seldom saw the kids,  I worked full time. If my ex hadn't come and taken the dog, I would have had no choice but to give her away. As much as it broke my heart, it wouldn't have been fair to the dog to keep her and make her stay outside all alone 24/7.
