What she said was not kind, but could she have been trying to warn you? I know that sometimes I say (write) things with a good heart trying to help people out, and they are taken the wrong way. I don't always know the best way to put things, so that the meaning and intent are clear. I many times speak before I think.
You are very lucky to be able to get your baby for free. Not many people would be willing to give away a dog. People always want to know what is in it for them. Even the kids at school, when I ask them to do something (take a note to the office, pass papers out, etc.) have asked, "What will I get?" or "Can I have _____ for doing it?" |
