I just dislike seeing people upset here at YT...when there is really SO much we all have in common as human beings and as dog lovers. It really upsets me when
others are upset, riled up, taking things the wrong way or too personally.
Whenever I get overly upset here, I try (stress,
try! 
) to grab onto some perspective, and fast. Usually, it works. Life is certainly not easy and we all have such big challenges immediately around us...but let's all try our best to get along here, to be kind, to be supportive, to let things go, to maintain an open mind toward strangers....to focus on what binds us all together here (love of animals!


)...rather than what drives us apart.
It's probably best we close this thread before more conflict arises from it. Thanks to all who shared!
