WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON, HMMM?
[/QUOTE=Wylie's Mom;2943343]
I completely agree that yes we do see those things. Which is what keeps me coming back to read and learn.
BUT as I choose NOT to focus on the other is the reason why I choose NOT to participate much either. To do so would only serve to feed that wolf in me.
It does bother me though for the people who have come for answers and feel run off. I often wonder if a dog ended up in a shelter or worse because the OP wasn't able to take in advice because it wasn't delivered in a friendly manner. A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down in the most delightful way!
