In fact Mardelin was one of the first to respond to her (see post #9). So I am not sure what you mean.
I don't think anyone would take an insinuation seriouslythat the 2 helpful breeders made "degrading posts or threats." I did not see where anyone said that, but maybe I missed it or maybe it was said "off forum." Mardelin and Woogieman are both held in higher regard than anyone thinking they would do that. Mary made the "damed if you do and damed if you don't" statement before anything went awry here, It is an ongoing reality for them! I see people complain if they don't answer a cry for help within minutes, like they stay attached to the computer 24/7! Then some complain when they offer help, saying mean things and accusing them of thinking they know it all or "are the end-all" -- even when they are just trying to get a pup in front of a vet! But I know Mary loves the breed and animals in general too much to not offer to help when she can. She just rises above it all and thinks of the pup knowing she may get bashed for her efforts. I think Woogieman is made of that same sort of cloth!
Good talking with you Chachi -- I like how you always try to direct help to those in need. |
Debra,
I will admit that I was slow to come on and help. I'd been watching this person's posts, starting the day before only after hearing Nancy on the phone crying and asking me to help. I had misgivings lately about offering assistance, even when requested. It's getting harder and harder to do so, when 99% of the time I walk away feeling I've not broken through the owner's mind set.
If you read this person's post, nowhere did she sound like a child. However, someone made mentiion of the possibility and a short while later it was revealed to be so.
