I'm just going out on a limb here to try and resolve this whole thing, because that's what i do, i try to please everyone...it always gets me into trouble, but i'm too nice to everyone to be able to not try so here goes:

I think a lot of us must be just bored at work or at home right now, some of us are just trying to pass our days with this thread. Most are very passionate about their dogs, what they know, and what they have learned through personal experiences. Posting information is great!! I would never want anyone to feel that they cannot express opinions and tell what they know, but sometimes when reading posts that are typed and you cannot hear a voice for sarcasm or inflections, you can read into things too much and get all riled up for nothing...i know that i have been guilty of it.

my best advice to try and bring us all back together as yorkie owners and friends is this:

we all love our dogs, it doesn't matter where they came from, how they came to us, or what they look like, we ALL love yorkies in their many colors, sizes, and ways they came to be. so can we all just accept our common bond and the reason we all joined this website and just love each other and be kind to each other and be happy for each others' joy that's been found through our yorkies?? waddya say everyone, let bygones be bygones, move ahead and start a new day and a new attitude??

i believe we can express ourselves and our knowledge in a tactful, polite and loving manner in which our feelings and knowledge will be accepted and taken into consideration. if everyone tried just a little bit harder to think before they hit that submit button, we wouldn't be flying off the handle at someone who is just trying to learn same as well all started out doing. there is much to be gained from a forum like this, much friendship, and knowledge. let's not loose anymore members because of hateful and hurtful things that could have been avoided if someone would have just thought a little more about the way in which they have approached a person's question. name calling, mean things, and hurtful words only make the person saying them look bad and really, are we all that bored today that we can't be more kind??

i suggest a do over, forgive those who have hurt you, and let's all try and bring back that common bond of friendship, compainionship and mutual love for our dogs and each other. we're all yorkie lovers, let that be the bonding factor in all of our difference and not forget it!!

hope everyone has a blessed day!!
