Venting is Good.
Like Nancy 1999 said, it does help when someone really listens to us, it helps us resolve the issue and move forward. The beautiful thing about YT is the way we can 'hug' and help each other. I have come to cherish my YT friends and respect them.
We don't always agree about the way, or what to do, in every instance and that is ok. Diversity is what makes a balanced and interesting community.
I think your list is good. It is fun to make a Baby Album with pictures from day one. All my Yorkies have one. It is a wonderful thing to have.
Even Gracie who is my rescue has one. Her first picture is a matted dirty little creature. Her first hair cut down to the skin
, all the way to and last month in her new dress with flowing hair , bows and proud tip of her darling head. Princess rhinestone collar, and clean white teeth.
