I would just like to say that I read each and every post on here, and I would like to thank you for what you did. Without you, that little girl may not have made it. You seemed genuinely concerned for her, and placing her with the other lady truly may have been the correct choice for you and for her. I am glad that so far things have worked out seemingly well for you and the dog. Thank you for being so caring, and I hope and pray that if you were put in this situation again, you would find it in your heart to take the little one in again!
to those who felt it necessary to be so RUDE:
Why must you speak to others in such a tone? I was astounded at the way that some of you replied to this lady trying to do the right thing. Why do you feel that you are entitled to treat anyone this way, much less a stranger? I am almost ashamed to be part of the same network as you. Trust me, I have considered leaving, and eventually people like you might ruin it enough that I will leave permanantly. Thanks to some of the very kind, caring, and wise people on here, I feel that I have made some very good decisions for my boys and myself, and I have really learned a lot on here. However, I feel that the amount of disrespect and drama on here is absolutely ridiculous. Really guys, aren't we all supposed to be mature adults? Frankly, I'm 22...I feel that I'm probably one of the younger ones on this forum, but even I realize that there are appropriate and inappropriate things to say to someone, and there are kinder ways than many of you used to give advice. You guys really need to think about the lasting impression that some of you might have on people. What if some other poor little dog needs to be saved, and someone doesn't know exactly what to do, and because of how incredibly rude you have been, they don't ask the advice, and the dog dies? Sure, it's only one dog, but I wouldn't want that on my hands...also - to those of you who felt "there were more deserving posts in the sick and injured forum" and that "this thread should just DIE" - who are you to decide who does and doesn't deserve advice? In my mind, anyone who asks for help deserves it. This woman in particular asked for help because she was uncertain of what to do. Some people were kind and gave lovely advice. Some people were a little more stern with their wording, and others were flat out rude. Well how dare you! How dare you feel so high and mighty that you feel you can treat someone so terribly. I would consider the fact that you might want this deleted because they are embarrassed about some of the cruel words that you said. |
