I need to say this...

[yorkiemom1970]

I need to clarify and publicly apolojize for my actions yesterday concerning a new member and her dog who has lost alot of weight.

I have been letting my emotions speak for me and I realize that isn't right. My problem with the thread in general was this: I do so much for my dogs. I go above and beyond when it comes to their care. They are like my own children. Being that I am this way with my fur kids, I still lost my beloved girl. I just do so much, and I seek vet care for them if they sneeze or cough. I go that extra mile and I still lost my girl. Therefore, when I read a thread about a yorkie whose owner had noticed the dog had lost 3 lbs in a short period of time, my emotions got the best of me. I thought to myself, I did EVERYTHING for my girl and she is gone; this person has let a baby lose quite a bit of weight without seeking any vet care up to this point or even trying to give some type of supplemental food from their own kitchen and they still have their girl. I felt like it was just so unfair. I was being selfish and only thinking of myself. My emotions have been a roller coaster for the past 2 weeks and I have let them get the best of me. So again I apolojize for my actions yesterday and I am trying to find peace within myself so that I can be of help to others in the future and not lash out at anyone even if I don't agree with the situation. I needed to say this. Thanks,

God Bless You and Merry Christmas

Oh Robbie, you are a great Mommy. I'm glad people try to help others here. I think it's so hard for you right now. I was overwhelmed when I first joined and felt I was doing everything wrong. Because of members like you, my pups are thriving and you guys helped me through some difficult puppy stages. Bubba still poo's on my floor just about once everyday, but hey he's a spoiled loved little boy. I'm so happy for the honest replies I get on here. New people just aren't ready for it yet, but they will get used to it. I'm so sorry about your loss, but God does things in our lives that we may never understand. Maybe the person who's dog lost all that weight got the message. I sent a pm to her right away. You are such a great person, even though we've never met, I know you in a way, and respect you so much. No words could ever take away the grief you are feeling, but know that you have helped so many of us on here, and the tragedy that happened to you, may help prevent another from happening??
Here is a big (((((((hug)))))))) to you!
We love you here and I'm hoping you're not being too hard on yourself.

you only said what was in your heart, and thats only because your such a good mummy, and remember you have been through a lot over the last couple of weeks, your little girl was lucky to of had you for a mommy i understand her life was shorter but the life she had was a good one

Robbie - I have done the same thing. I lost a dog (the love of my life) a few months ago, and two cats that I have had for more than 15 years within the past year.

It has really made me a little paranoid with the new pets that I have. I have a new bird - and a new little Yorkie.

So - I have also overreacted to a few posts also. I'm getting better though.

I think your coming back online and explaining your reaction to someone's post was a thoughtful thing to do. And, believe me, we all understand.

Robbie,
What a brave and thoughtful post!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us, and i bet lots of us know the pain of losing a little one and our thoughts are with you!!!!

Oh, Robbie, it is so understandable for your emotions to get the better of you! And you should not be so upset when you only had the puppy's welfare in mind when you said what you did. I think everyone understands and I do applaud you for coming here and apologizing. (Even though I don't feel it was necessary, it probably made you feel better, so that's what counts.)

If our worst sin is getting upset over an animal not being cared for, then we should all congratulate ourselves.

((((((HUGS ROBBIE)))))) Our emotions get the best of all of us sometimes, and thats perfectly normal! I'm sorry for your loss, as I've been following the threads, and I can tell through your typing how upset you've been. We all love you!
