"YES. I SOLD MY DOG. HERE'S WHY 
https://forums.backpack.tf/topic/84438-yes-i-sold-my-dog-heres-why/#comment-687749
To add some context to why I sold my dog:
The pic shown is of my dog, Sky. He's been with my family since he was a puppy, so about 9-10 years.
As of recently, we've been struggling to take care of him for the past half a year, especially after my parents moved back overseas leaving myself and my brother alone to take care of our dog.
Currently I have other personal commitments that take up most of my time, which take a lot of time and energy. I spend quite some time preparing medication and food for my dog, as he is unable to eat properly due to lumps on his neck. Regular dog food simply won't cut it as they're too hard and rough to swallow, so I cook food for him in batches. However, it's gone to a point where I can't keep this up and my dog would have a better life in a home where he can get more support, and attention.
Gummy is a close IRL friend of mine, so even before this ‘deciding to sell my dog' talk, he has taken care of my dog at his place in several occasions, and even visited him at my place. They do get along quite well so it's only natural that I ask him if he'd like to take care of him permanently.
The only situation where I would give up my dog, is if the ones taking care of him were perfectly capable and had a good relationship with him. Though if Gummy had not been available, I would have to give my dog up for adoption.
My dog would definitely get a far better quality of life by living in a home where people can take care of him more often than I ever would in my current situation.
While I may joke around at times about selling my dog, this has always been an issue and I definitely felt some relief when I found someone who could continue to care for my dog, as he's been with me through a lot of shit in my life. Gummy would always get a long with my dog when he's around, since he likes animals
I understand this situation taken out of the right context may seem like I'm getting a sick kick out of selling my dog. It obviously isn't easy for me to give my dog away, but as the situation persists, it's what I have to do. I understand taking the conversation without context in the screenshots can give the wrong impression, since Gummy and I love to pull each other's leg a lot in steam or groomercord chat
