It's rather refreshing to read a rational response - but I do enjoy a spirited debate, especially when I take the unpopular position. I must say I am surprised that anyone responded since I indicated I wasn't looking for any feedback. But I thank all of you who voiced your opinions. I suppose being in the legal profession for 30 years now, I just assume people base their accusations on facts and not what they view for a few seconds. As I told John, if he had any concern, there are many, many good causes he could involve himself in.

Lastly, my friend who left her puppies with me for seven days has been to my home many, many times with her pups. My question is: do you think she would actually leave her puppies somewhere that she felt they would be in harm's way?

Having had a four pound poodle for 14 years until I had to put her down because she was dying of cancer, I do know that any small animal can injure themselves in countless ways. We all take that risk when we become owners of small animals. Having said that, as has been heard many, many times - any of us could walk across the street today and get run down by a bus. We obviously cannot live in a bubble our whole lives.

As to the question of posting private messages, my position would be that the message was sent to me and I would assume I have the right to post it wherever I care to. I am just curious as to why he would have sent it in a private message instead of posting it along with all of the positive feedback I received where not one person who posted such nice things brought up the terribly dangerous situation that they saw in the video.

As an aside to the above, I have copied a message my sister posted on my other thread regarding the responses I have received. I thank her and love her for her support. I'll be taking care of her puppy on March 10th while she recovers from surgery. Needless to say, she has been to my home on many occasions and still has chosen to leave her little puppy with me.__________________________________________________ _______________

Oh for the love of God,

Leave my sister alone. Her animals are better cared for than millions of the children in this country. She's married to a man who doles out grocery money and gas money depending on what HE wants to eat and how far HE thinks she'll need to drive while he's out of town. God forbid there should be an emergency. What do you suppose would happen if he came home from one of his business trips and discovered that she had replaced the stone coffee table with a Sponge Bob SmartyPants (or whatever his name is) coffee table for the dogs? I'd be out there digging up the land, looking for my little sister's body.

So maybe you ought to back off. She takes care of those animals and loves them like her children because her daughters are gone and she has no one else with whom to share her love.

Seriously people, find something better to do. You know what they say, "Judge not lest ye be judged."
