It's becoming increasingly more difficult to peruse through the YT threads without seeing the continued drama. I just don't get it.

We want to breed and are looking for direction with compassion.
We are a breeder and want reassurance with compassion.
We have a new baby and want to share joy with compassion.
We love our current babies and want common ground with compassion.
And lastly we want new friends who understand what it is like to need compassion.

Thank you to those who received me as a new member with compassion, and continue to show me how happy I am that I joined.

Okay now you can all call me a Pollyanna!

Pollyanna, I love this post. I am just kidding about the "Pollyanna", it made me smile when I read it in your original post.

Wow, Ann. You really went to great lengths just to tell me that you don't want me to be mean to you anymore. You created this whole thread, all generic and everything, listing no names, when it is clear that you are begging me to stop the verbal abuse that I have been putting you through.

Oh well, nice try.
We all know that won't be happening anytime soon.

Get over it.
As long as you keep getting older, I will keep making fun of you.

P.S. - I would advise you to quit being so obsessed with me. Young people (like me, of course) really hate it when old geezers (like yourself) get so overly-attached. Just back off.

Love you? duh.

Oh crap, the Nursing Home is telling me it is time for my Padded Room Therapy...but I'll be back....

Great post!

I bite my tongue alot because I try to think of the persons feelings. One person doesn't know it all. That is why it important to try to help people with compassion. I know karma is a bi*&% also.

Can I just say this thread makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside...thanks Ann!

It's a YT-Lovefest!

i so agree ann i couldn't have said it better myself..sadly i was the 1 that was bashed and bad because i decided to breed my yorkie to have an offspring of her and came on here to know more about the good and the bad..but i was condemned for breeding her saying i was signing her death warrant i would litterally get off here and cry..when it got closer to her due date i was trying not to stress out but ppl made me more stressed out that when she gave birth a wk early i found 4 friends on here and 1 that lives only 45min from me that i phoned her and she talked me threw it a i thank her for saving my chloe and her name is ann too cause chloe wasn't producing milk she suggested i take her to the vet to get a needle to help that even though it was father's day i didn't care plus the vet was already there for another emergency but i called him as soon as she was having them.the x-ray showed 3 pups when i got there i was 3 and half hrs cause she had a dead pup inside her if i didn't go i could of lost her..she pushed him out but he was already gone..i want to keep a female who came first then her 2 brothers but sadly the female died 3 days later..the 2 boys are doing great..so i haven't been on here much because i don't need the added stress from ppl that had to start somewhere..ty ann i praise you for what you said and hopefully ppl will listen

very nice thread---it would be nice if we all considered others.

I browse the site quite frequently and I understand that everyone is just as in love with their little ones, as I am...but honestly...at times I'm turned off by how quickly some threads can turn negative. I don't post very often..only if I feel I can help, or if I have a question. And sometimes I do have a question but I'm just plain scared that it might lead to something a little "mean". So I really appreciate this post because I have thought the same thing on more than one occasion....just sayin'

Never be afraid to post if you have a question. there are so many great people on here willing to help. don't let a few negative ones keep you from posting

[jmdt]

In my opinion one must walk in anothers shoes to criticize or judge them. I believe in compassion. People come here for help and advice. Sometimes just to tell us the crazy antics our babies do. I say tread lightly it might be you someday that needs the compassion. We don't come here for a lecture.
Let's try to stick to the subject of the thread.

There are many more wonderful people than there are "mean" people. And honestly, I think at this point the "mean" people are either weeding out quickly or they sure will be. Post on, luvMIdog. Don't hesitate.

I would not say mean people, but people who just don't know when to quit when others are actually trying to help. The negative comments are not good for anyone. Not the OP, the person trying to help or the person making the negative comments and it only gets in the way of the ones who really are trying to help. And as for weeding out, I Totally disagree with ANYONE and I mean ANYONE needing to be weeded out. I think each of us has something very valuable to contribute to YT. We all just need to know that there is a time and a place for the negative and it's not in the middle of a sick dog crisis. I believe once you say you agree/disagree then that's it and theres no need to keep going on about it because it's not really helping the OP or the Dog and the OP only needs to read it once. I have only been here for little over a year and I have seen so many very valuable members leave because of the drama, people need to realize theres just no need for it and what does it prove ? absolutely nothing. I know everyone here on YT knows how to show compassion, I would just like to see a whole lot more compassion and allot less trying to prove a point, talk nasty about others and try to destroy others. I do not see anyone benefit from any of that and at the end of the day, does it really make anyone feel better about themselves ? I think not !
