I'm not really sure what you're getting at, but yes.. I feel a person should put a lot of thought into what they say. Especially when they are typing it over a computer when a person's feelings and tone of voice cannot properly be understood. I know I do.

Like I said, I was simply trying to do a good thing. A simple "I'm sorry but we feel like Donetta would be better suited in a home without other animals" would have been sufficient. I'm not a child, and I should not be treated as one. I'm a potential CUSTOMER (if you will) and should be treated with the utmost respect, considering I'm doing HER a favor by taking an animal off her hands. She is not a breeder, she runs a rescue. Let me emphasize RESCUE. As the saying goes, beggars can't be choosers, and I think that applies here. I could give that dog a better life here with my "playful puppy" than she could at that rescue.

I totally agree!
