[AddieLove]

I must be misunderstanding something ...
I've read every single post made here, and the ones that were referenced where the OP started other threads.
For the first few pages, everyone only gave very helpful advice. When the OP did not update (which is actually a pattern in a few of her other posts), people became frustrated.
Sure emotions ran high, but would members here rather have others just say, "Whoops! That sucks. I hope you learned your lesson!"?
It's not like the OP was making a quilt and screwed up the pattern. She irresponsibly bred pups that led to death. How is she different from a BYB (and I'm not actually being snarky here, I am actually asking a genuine question)?

There's no need to attack others' opinions and advice (from both sides, really). The OP put herself out there, asked a question and got many very honest answers. To be frank, if she can't handle a little fire from an ON-LINE forum, then what on Earth made her think she could breed puppies? She should feel bad. She should feel guilty.

It's frustrating because I waited several years before getting Addie, and I got her as a rehome. But I made darn sure I could afford her apartment cost, spay and all other possible medical bills before I took her as mine. Nothing would make me feel worse than taking in a cute little pup knowing I couldn't afford her if she was hurt and then she got hurt and died. That would be completely on me. It would be my fault that pup died, just like this situation is completely on the shoulders of the OP.

And really, who types on the computer to ask for advice when one of your pups is moaning in pain? I love this forum, and I trust the advice I get, but if I have a major problem, I call the ER vet first. Later when the problem is resolving I can update everyone on YT, so I can get additional advice and maybe give someone else information on how to act in a similar situation.

We should reward responsibility and scold irresponsibility. She's not a five-year-old who accidentally spilt milk on the carpet. She is capable of making logical decisions and failed this time. It would have been great if the OP hadn't had to learn this lesson with the death of innocent creatures, but that's unfortunately not how it happened.

As a non-breeder and with several friends heavily involved in rescues, it saddens me greatly to hear this situation. And I just don't think I will ever understand those who think breeding is a great way to make some cash.

I really don't think anyone who commented to the OP didn't have the pups' best interests at heart first. That's why the debate got heated. That's why everyone is so emotional, and I really can't blame them.

I can just hope the OP has her baby spayed (assuming she's still alive), and that others who think breeding is a get-rich-quick scheme stumble across this thread and realise just what it could cost.
