They would not have a clue what to think other than waiting out 10 more weeks to double or triple the puppy weight and months again to see what the adult puppies throw.
Perhaps it was just one of those days, I've had them myself, when I just didn't want to deal with people who annoyed me at the moment. The first line in the comment set the tone and I couldn't hear the humor or find anything useful in the rest of the comment. Actually, I really haven't learned anything new on this site yet and when I've asked if anyone has tried this or that didn't get much of a response but from a few. Not to say that the administrator here hasn't been kind or encouraging, she has been lovely as well as a few others and a couple that have sent me pms that lurk rather than post. I find the traffic flow for a forum this size a little slow but it is what it is.
Time to think of other things. |
I am so very sorry that of all the questions you have posted repeatedly here on this forum, and all the people that have taken the time to try to respond to you and your questions, that you have simply, only come away with ".....[I][U].Actually I really haven't learned anything new on this site yet and when I've asked if anyone has tried this or that didn't get much of a response but from a few. I find the traffic flow for a forum this size a little slow but it is what it is"!!!! WOW!!!! Why in the world did you stay and waste our time, us trying to
repeatedly and constantly be of assistance?????
How unfortunate all the people that have taken their personal time and interest in you and your many, many questions, has apparently been of no value to you. The GREAT thing about this forum is that there are hundreds of thousands of people that read and read and read these posts, and actually DO benefit and learn something from the effort and time many people have been
courteous enough to stop and share with them.
What a wonderful thing you are apparently already so well informed that you have come away from this site with very little useful information for yourself. All the time and effort so many members have taken to try to answer your plethoric questions has apparently fallen on deaf ears, as you stated you already knew and havent learned anything new at all.....well, we certainly wasted OUR time and effort to offer assistance to you, in multiple posts.
I do take comfort in the knowledge that there are thousands of
appreciative people out there, reading these posts, that ACTUALLY do value justly the time and energy given to educate the Yorkie community, or even dogs in general! We are ALL grateful for THOSE people, that understand and value and are really thankful for any help they find on these posts! People that are thirsting for information and different perspectives, that can actually recognize and appreciate the time and energy we take to share any nugget of information, experience, suggestions, problem solving events, etc, are the people that will benefit most from this forum. They are appreciative and grateful for our efforts at help, even if they think they already know all the answers to the various issues addressed! They have the social graces to just read over or skip the parts they already know, and the more appreciative and grateful and polite of those people, will not turn and slap our faces for the help we have offered them, regardless of their level of knowledge in that particular area! Socially acceptable politeness and good manners are indeed a wonderful thing, especially when you are seeking assistance or help of any kind from those very people!...... And yes, EVEN those of us that have a dry sense of humor in our posts, as we address multiple, multiple times, the same question over and over, just re-worded to change up the cadence a little.....we STILL continue to try to give assistance to obviously "frazzled" nerves.....only to be insulted and rebuked?
I personally began to prepare myself to breed Yorkies way back in late '70's early '80's. After over 15-20 years of education in breeding Yorkies and learning the lines and pedigrees for at least 12-15 generations back from the dogs I purchased from show breeders that were retiring their Ch. and titled dogs, what lines could be crossed and which lines you would never cross, I started my breeding program with much success.
I would suggest, with the "extensive knowledge" you profess to already have, you associate strictly with breeders and dog show people, that are so very much more experienced and knowledgeable in the areas you seek information about. Unfortunately, I am an experienced breeder and you were not positioned mentally/emotionally, to deal with my very bland sense of humor....you will be destroyed, no doubt, trying to associate with other reputable breeders/show people, that have dedicated their entire lives to breeding and showing Yorkies, not just 35+ years....some of them can be brutal!...... This forum has only a few breeders/show people, stopping in and taking the time try to help people....Show people/well connected breeders, I think, can perhaps deal with you on the level
you imagine yourself to be......but I wouldnt bet on it!....I tried and you mistook my approach as an attack, and I am so very mild! These people have made me
CRY....you had better pull up your Big Boy/Girl britches when you jump in with most of those people that do not appreciate intrusion into breeding/showing Yorkies unless there has been an appreciative degree of "apprenticeship", and they have very little time to tolerate being "pumped for information"!!!....however, do not be surprised if they just choose not to be bothered to try to deal with "Poor Little Insulted Me" attitude or "I Am So Much Smarter Than You" ungratefulness. Learn a modicum of humility and gratefulness before jumping in with the "Big Boys", because if what I said withered your spirit, they will totally demoralize and humiliate you.
