I think every poster on here can take that approach if they dont take whats written so personally

I understand what you're saying, but even though she was absolutely right, and knew her stuff, why was it said in a way that stung?

I imagine it was b/c she knows how bad it is for that tiny baby to leave her mom and littermates so early, and she probably got that feeling of, "I CAN'T BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE DO THIS!!"

But those feelings could still be voiced without leaving a sting. That's easy for me to say, b/c at the present moment I am not irritated (just dog tired - actually puppy tired! ). We are human and sometimes our moods just take over. Maybe if we all step back and try to see the other's person's position it would be smoother.

You are also right about taking it personally. If we don't take it to heart, then it wouldn't hurt - but that's easier said than done for some of us.
