Yes, we are all entitled to our own opinions, and yes, this is something that could have been prevented. But, none of us were in the house when this happened, so who are we to say anything? The parents are VERY good friends of mine, we have all been grieving and crying for days now. Of course she blames herself......what mother wouldn't?? But, to turn this around and accuse me of attacking anyone on here or inflaming or criticizing is ridiculous! I have been nothing but respectful of everyone's feelings, even when I don't agree with them. I'm not telling any of you to NOT feel the way you do, but where is your compassion in life? A mother just lost the life of her baby daughter, and is also losing her beloved pet. Yes, there are situations in life that we can all go back and say...."if he/she/they/we/us/I would have done things differently"......but does that help the situation any? NO! What's done is done. There is no turning back, there is no bringing that precious little girl back into everyone's lives, there is no bringing the beloved husky back home. I was merely trying to point out that all of the facts aren't out yet, and to immediately say the terrible things that have been said is just not right. This could have been you! And I wanted those saying those things to stop for a split second and think about all of the situations in their lives where something tragic could have happened. Thank God for you that it didn't. Have sympathy and compassion for those that did suffer tragedy. Those hurtful comments were criticizing the mother, my friend. I, however, did not criticize anyone...and to say that I did, while agreeing with or backing up the ones that made criticizing comments toward the mother is hypocritical.
I've been nothing but respectful here, even to those who said such terrible things about my friend. But, to attack me now, while trying to back up your friends.....well, that's hypocritical too. Because that's exactly what I was on here doing, defending my friend's honor that was being trashed by certain individuals. This woman is beside herself right now with grief and sorrow. Do any of you on here have to hold up your friend while she buries her baby? NO!! But, think about that possibility before you make more hurtful comments.
I agree with those of you saying this was preventable. Most things in life are. And precautions were taken to prevent this, but we don't know how the dog got into the room!!!!!!! She most certainly did not open up the bedroom door, call the dog in and then leave the room. In that case, SHE IS TO BLAME! But, that is NOT what happened!
My words have already been twisted and taken out of context. I'm not wasting anymore of my energy here. Those of you that have those hateful opinions, they are yours....to keep. Hold on to them....see if they do you any good in life. |
