YT Addict | Need to vent and get this off of my chest! I'm sorry but I just had to vent for a minute....don't really expect any responses...just need to get this off of my chest!! I'm sure some of you have read my previous post about my Harley passing away on 2/1 from a tragic accident of NSAIDS overdose. Well, I am getting a new Yorkie this week. My husband had posted on Facebook for some of his friends to give him some ideas on a good name. Well....my brother of all people posted back and told him we should name him Naproxen (which is an NSAID). It was just an inconsiderate comment that pissed me off. My baby was sick for 3 weeks from that incident and I lost him!!! Loosing him has caused me so much pain and to think how a grown up could be so inconsiderate is just beyond me. I don't even know how to handle the situation. It happened a couple of days ago and I thought I could just let it go but it has me really pissed me off. My brother has always joked around alot but he needs to know when its appropriate to make a joke. He is 43 year old going on 2!! Thanks for letting me get that out!!! |

| Wow. Completely uncalled for and inconsiderate. Why some people can't draw the line between humorous and cruel I'll never understand.

| I am so sorry for such a horrific comment! It was totally out of line and uncalled for! I wouldn't let it get me down, be the bigger person and enjoy your new baby! Your brother is single right?

| He's your brother and I think you should call him on it. Tell him how insentive his comment was and how it hurt you. He owes you an apology and I don't think you will ever forgive him unless you face him with this. |

| My husband,who is usually the sweetest man in the world,has a warped sense of humor. I always tell him, when he says things that are either inappropriate or hurtful.."...its only funny if I laugh". I am sorry your brother was so insensitive. I am glad you are getting another little furbaby. They really do help heal your heart and make you laugh again. |

Please do let it get you down. Some people just do not understand the attachments that can form between our wonderful beloved pets. Until you have had that bond you just have no clue. I would let him know that he hurt your feelings and that you will have let time pass before you can forgive him for his lack of compassion for you and your loss. Hugs to you.

| Wow! That is VERY inconsiderate! I don't blame you for being upset. Sometimes people just don't think before they speak.

| I think it depends on the relationship you have with your brother as to whether you confront him on it or not. My brother and I don't get along. He would say something like that on purpose, knowing it would hurt. (yes, he is single and about to turn 50!). I ignore him. If you want to keep the relationship, let him know that it hurt you deeply. Maybe he doesn't realize how badly you feel that your baby got into the pills. Best to you and your husband in finding that perfect name Donna

| I'm sorry your brother hurt your feelings. My brother at 55 still thinks it's funny to stick his rump in my face and fart. I mean really grow up!!! To get his goat you should some how name your new pup after him. Or at least put it on paper at the town hall. Something like (Insert bro's name) Dragon Heartless Breath. |

| He's your brother. Just tell how it made you feel. You should be able to talk openly to your brother. |

| Sorry Sorry we can't choose our family memebers and they are very inconsiderate at times. Glad you got to vent and now you can forgive and let it go. Hope you are feeling better about this soon.
