Debra, I am a newby and I have to agree with you. When joining a forum, I like to sit back, watch, read and get to know other members. Where as I agree, I have to say, I have seen insults from older members to the newer members as well for NOT knowing things they felt should be known. I read a long days post where a newby got emails from number's of members here because she used the term "teacup" Now, I have to be honesat with you. I was glad she did first becuase I am sure I would have stupidly made that exact mistake. I did not know any better. I was always raised hearing and believing there were "teacups" I had to9 ask in the post for someone to please explain this to me and I had few really nice members email me to explain which I truly appreciated it. If us newbies do not ask these questions wqhich to an experienced person may seem dumb, then how are we to learn?
All I am saying Debra, is as a newby, I am hoping to gain the knowledge from a lot of people here (I really do love my puppy) and that is why I joined. Where I agree with you, us newbies should take the time to learn all we can from the more experienced crowd, I do have to ask that the older members please be patient with me as not knowing anything about the Yorkie breed and if I do ask a "dumb" question once in awhile, I apologize in advance. please forgive my stupidity. LOL, I am only here to learn all I can about my little guy so I can give him all the love I can as well as a very healthy life which he deserves. |
