Sashazx,
I am sorry that your feelings were hurt on YT. I am sure it can be over-whelming receiving advice and criticism from people you do not know as I am sure it was no pleasant feeling for them to receive the comments and remarks that you made. I made no attempts to comment on your original post as it was none of my business and I learned loads of useful information for future use. However, I do feel like now you are beating a dead horse. You have gone outside your own thread to comment in one that was created to help people UNDERSTAND compassion, not to come on here and rehash something that took place weeks ago and RECEIVE compassion for it. You have made several comments referring to your nervous state and how you came to YT to calm your nerves. I am afraid that is impossible, when you will not let the air out of the balloon. It is my hopes that you will let by-gones be by-gones and forget what is well in the past. Please let's just move forward from here on out and learn from each other's joys, sorrows, mistakes, misfortunes, and happiness. We should all take a lesson from our Yorkies and take life one day and one tail wag at a time!
Thank you,
YorkieProud

ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW THE SMALLEST CREATURE CAN HAVE THE BIGGEST HEART?

Well said.

Also good to point out that just because one person may refuse to see logic and reason, the advice being given is not all for nothing. You never know who else, aside from the initial asker, is reading and learning from what is being shared and suggested.

I personally go with the animals first since they do not have voices they can use to speak for themselves.

I haven't been on here for awhile. Didn't fall out with anyone, just everything has been going so well that i haven't needed any advice. Oh dear famous last words. Anyway this is a great thread and has reminded us all that we are here because we all love our dogs, yorkies and otherwise.

not pointing fingers are saying anything else except for fact that i think somepeople still are not getting the point of this thread.........evidently there are those that just dont know what the word compassion means.........i think this thread needs to be a sticky!!!

I think that most people do understand exactly what it means.

Being compassionate does not mean that people should sit idly by and ignore when a pup might be harmed. If you are referring to another thread, no one was being mean...they were trying to help. Perhaps you don't care for the offers that were made, but that does not make them wrong or mean.

Thank you for starting this thread. Can it be a sticky?

Our computer is down due to getting hit with Virus 4th of July only on briefly at this time. Will be getting a new computer in December.

I notice there are many new members and their furloves, sure want to say welcome to you and look forward to reading your many happy times together in the future.

I hope when we get back on line that I will see YT back to how it use to be, sad to see so many of the long time YT'ers that are no longer coming into YT. Hope they will be back.

I want to take a moment to remember someone very dear to so many here at YT I was heart broken to read about Kim's (feminvstr) passing, she was such a wonderful lady always here to help those in need with her expertise. Gosh, I can recall many times her being available during the wee hours to help if she could with someones sick yorkie or going through a whelping. I am glad to see her many sticky's are still here and are so very helpful. It is people such as Kim that has helped to make YT the site to want to become a member and she was all about caring for our babies and us. I have great respect for many of the breeders here at YT and am proud to have gotten Prairie Bea from Jill Brooks a breeder here at YT.

YT is a yorkie site but it is much more than that, it is so wonderful seeing people getting together at gatherings to meet others that share the love for this special little breed. Jack and myself have been Blessed to be a part of a site such as YT, your love and prayers shown to us after Jack's brain injury was much to behold. Thank you for them. I am doing great and the girls are doing fantastic, Baby Blessing will be going to facilities with us when the weather is cooler to maybe help in a way that sometimes us humans can't do, these furloves can put a smile on ones face and turn a bad day into one that is happy.

Sorry this is so long, thank you for taking the time to read. Don't want to ever say anything to offend anyone but I truely believe this thread was very important and thank you again Wylies Mom for starting it.

Love and Hugs, from us both Patti and Jack and Girls.

I thought this was a good read and maybe help to bring it back.

Just because you don't like a person, agree with their ways doesn't mean you can't have a little compassion for another human. I know Christmas time stress levels run high and sometimes we talk before thinking. We are all very passionate about the breed. If we just could agree to disagree but so some compassion doing it.

Its Christmas week. Could we all just try to step up a notch and make it a wonderful week. You are ALL a great group of people and bring something great to the site. I wish you a very Merry Christmas.

This was a great thread to wake up to this morning. Kind words are healing and uplifting. Bless you all.

Amen to that

Happy Holidays !

Exactly.

[JeanieK]

After a few new threads that turned very heated, I think this reminder is way overdue.

Just be thoughtful, and remember your passion for the dogs does not excuse your LACK of COMpassion for your fellow human beings.

If you cannot change a persons mind, then walk away. That person might think about what you said and change their mind later, but they will never change it if you try to bully them into it.

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

The last line in this prayer is the most important. It is what makes the other two lines work.
