Some of you already know that I have been concerned about my little Cassie with newly diagnosed glaucoma. And I have received great support from my fellow YT Members.

But sometimes my friends really disappoint me and hurt my feelings when it comes to my dogs. I actually made a New Year's resolution this year that I wasn't going to say a word about my little ones unless someone asked. And then, unless it was a fellow pet owner I would not go into detail.

How unfair is that! I have four little furbutts that are the absolute joy of my life and I have to deal with people that roll their eyes or act bored when I mention them. I am lucky that my boss is an animal person so when I need time off for sick puppies or vet visits I don't get any flack but a couple of my co-workers are pretty rude about it. One thinks I ought to take a shotgun to Cassie and put her out of her misery instead of paying "good money" on medicine. "Why bother keeping her alive?" THAT actually brought tears to my eyes and now this jerk is telling everyone that I am a crazy dog lady. Another co-worker once asked me if I needed psychological help because she thinks I'm a hoarder! OMG! What is wrong with people? I know I live in a small town and it is in the middle of farm country so a large number of my friends and co-workers come from farms were animals are property and not pets but really?

It all makes me more determined to keep my New Years resolution and just not mention my babies. How sad. I eve took the pictures off my desk which brought comments about how much better it looks now. I HATE it!

Thanks for letting me vent. I don't see any solution so I'm not going to ask for anything but understanding from my friends here on YT.

God love ya all!
