I feel so offended when someone says "don't buy this, this, this, this, this and this." I only feed holistic, natural treats. I don't like certain toys, and there are some styles of clothes I don't care for. However, I can't imagine signing up with a huge list of "dont's." I am afraid I would end up getting a SB who has made such a list, and I wouldn't have fun shopping because it just seems really ungrateful.

I understand the food allergies, Ranger has an intolerance to turkey, but some of these are just extreme. Really makes me not want to participate To me, if you get something you don't like, donate it to a shelter or re-gift it to someone who will use it. I just don't see the need to be so picky for something that is supposed to be so fun.

There's my vent of the day. Does anyone else feel like this or do I just need to get over it?

i feel ya- we dont' do GEs anymore for a totally different reason but when we did i also felt overwhelmed by the lists. Like Ranger, Layla has health reasons that she can only have some treats- but everything else was fair game. I liked to help my GE buddy out by saying what we DO LIKE but tried to keep the- we don't needs... to a minimum...
