I know that I am going no matter where the meet-up is held as it was an amazing experince in KC for me and Izzy. And if something happens that I can't go next year then I know my $$$ will go towards the Yorkie Rescue...win..win in my book.
And, yes, Jen, I'm amazed too how political this thread got and something that is supposed to be so much fun and exciting to look forward too has now gotten not so fun. |
Couldn't agree more about political!! Well this re-vote struck home in 2 ways....My daughter voted and has less than 10 posts and planned on attending the meet up if its on the east coast she is a real voter and very much a part of Yt even tho her post count doesnt reflect that. I cannot afford 2 plane tickets to the west coast at this moment but the gas would be less that 100 for the both of us if on the east coast big difference. I will not pay to vote. Yes the money goes to a rescue, but many rescue are scams funding puppy mills. Most on here know me pretty well to know I give WAY above a beyond what the average person gives to rescues and I want to pick and choose where my money goes. For me and Avery to vote its 40 dollars. Thats probably what it would cost me to drive to VA from here. Im over this whole thing. Its turn into a fight and a whole lot of questioning. I guess you step back and trust the committee to make the right choice and whatever it is, it is. Being it's turned to votes and revotes and pay to vote....Either way I am stepping back and out of this. I wont attend either way anymore It just doesnt have that fun meet up feel. Maybe as time passes it will but for right now Im over it. Im not angry with anyone and I hear what everyone is saying and there is no way to make everyone happy. This isnt worth fighting over or losing friendships. I care about too many involved to be a part of that! Good luck with whatever decision is made.
