I kind of like seeing long don't lists because I like that people are picky about what their dogs get. Now in Ellie's case I just feel like it is way too excessive and unfair because we do no food, treats, chews, etc. and the rest of what she does get I am very picky about. |
you should not feel this way at all as there are alot of things you can do for people who have don't lists and maybe if someone has a sick baby as i have two and deal with ibd, pancreatitis, allergies, mvd and hypothyroid they would understand more so just as i do when someone has a don't list. I think you should definitely join as it is a lot of fun and i am never offended by don't and do lists and would feel bad that someone who has a dog with health issues such as mine do cannot join in a fun part of having their yorkie. This has definitely taken the pressure off of me with mine and i refuse to not join just because my dog has health issues and has do's and don't for them as that is not right as this is alot of fun and for people who deal with sick yorkies it adds some laughter and fun into the day to day health issues we deal with. I think those that have dogs with health issues can better understand that I think.
If you do not want to read the posts then you can go into the picture section, sick and health section, etc and not just new posts or pm admin to remove you from exchange posts as stated by admin. Why ruin it for the people who do hint threads and have alot of fun with it during the exchange as that is part of the fun of the exchange. Glad admin has an option for those individuals.
