Wow - what a thread! I'm reading it for the first time. (I also read her recent thread about getting the puppy sooner than she'd would have wanted) Yep, lots of twists, turns and not-so-kind posts - but I see this thread has finally taken a turn for the good. Toy, thank you so much for the wonderful, well-worded and thoughtful post -it was exactly what we needed!
Rachel is my niece and I recommended YT her. I told her that it was wonderful site with lots of information. I have since found myself, more than once, apologizing to her for making this recommendation. I am embarrassed on how some could have lashed out at an obviously young person who has simply reached out for advice. I applaud Rachel for her replies and keeping her cool. She has done soooo much research - more than most. However, keep in mind, that the decisions are Rachel's and Rachel's alone.
I want to thank those members who have posted helpful and supportive advice. They understand the spirit of YT.
