Great post, great reminder! At some point and time, each of us stumbles across a thread that strikes a nerve or causes us to sit back and ask "what the heck?". We are ALL passionate about our furbabies, whether they are show-quality, in a breeding program, or just the family pet/lap dog (both of mine fall into this category). I don't breed nor show my furbabies (although I am proud to "show" them off to friends and family...lol) so I refrain from posts pertaining to these two topics other than to congratulate or offer encouragement - why in the heck would I post on a subject I know nothing about? Makes ME look crazy and I'm crazy enough without doing that
I think if we each realize what our own strengths and weaknesses are regarding the world of yorkies before we post a reply, topics may not go way out in left field so much and cause some hurt feelings or frustrated attitudes. As simonandhallie posted, before you hit the submit button, read over what you just typed. If it sounds offensive or hurtful to you, then it probably is. As they say in beer land, "drink responsibly", our motto should be "post respectfully". This forum pertains a wealth of information to all of us, no matter if we're a newbie to yorkies or if we've been around them for years! I learn something new all the time on this forum.
Thank you for the reminder - didn't mean to get so "wordy"...lol....but I have a habit of doing that at times! And thank you for the WONDERFUL job you do here as moderator - I definitely appreciate you
