Please don't feel that way! We are all definitely here to help! I've asked several questions here, and I've only received the sweetest responses that were so helpful.
I think the issue with this post is the OP was unclear about a lot of things. If you read the original post, it does sound like she crates her pup a lot. Also, right from the beginning she insults the breed and those caring for and breeding yorkies.
You can't ask for advice from the people you insult. Well, you can, but you just won't receive a very cheery outcome.
Plus, several who go out of their way to give helpful advice had done so with two previous posts by the OP about basically the same topic. There was no response from the OP ever again. It's not that you have to respond to every single one or even say thank you. We just want to know how things are going so we can continue to be an active, positive, compassionate cheerleader for you and your pup. Many of us really care about the situation you and your pup are going through and want to continue to help.
Also, I think when the OP read the "I wish there was some sort of update or response" posts, she took it too far, and her attitude came off as childish with this "Fine. You want a response? I'll respond to every single person" attitude, which was really very unhelpful to the situation.
As long as you have a kind, compassionate attitude toward your pup and your post, you will receive the full support of so many.
And if you're frustrated, I've always found it best to wait ten minutes before asking for help. That way you can clearly and calmly ask without giving off any negative vibes. Negative beginnings beget negative ends.
Although, I should note if it's an emergency situation, screw the ten minutes and ask now because we understand anxiety and hyperventilation just fine.
