It's funny, but I don't really see how Nodak was overly rude

I may have missed that post, however

My take on it is that he has a sarcastic sense of humor, as I do. I do, though, most of the time, refrain from posting my smart-alecky comments and rephrase so that I don't hurt anyone's feelings.
Whatever the case, he came here for support, and if he didn't care for the pup, he would not have bothered. My hubby didn't want us to get Isabella, but now he's totally in love with her and can't imagine ever letting her go

These little furfaces tend to melt even the most hard hearts
