Are you kidding me~this is a public forum and I can comment anywhere that I would like. You cannot dictate to me or anyone else where or where not that I can comment.

What gives JeanieK? Is there an axe that you have to grind with my name on it? I'm at a total lose here as to where this is going?

I have no axe to grind. You jumped all over the OP for whatever reason. I am simply defending her right to question where the dogs came from and to expect a reasonable answer.

YOU are the one that has turned this personal. I'm at a loss also, as to why you jumped on her case in the first place.

It has nothing to do with YOU or ME. The comment you made WAS snotty and uncalled for. And the comment that the worker made WAS flippant, rude and totally unprofessional. And I take offense to being lumped in with pet stores and those who sell to them.

The OP merely stated that she did not choose either of the dogs and gave her reasons.

You told her that she went in ill-prepared

At this point. She wasn't asking for advice or opinions, she was giving an update, like people had asked her to and should not have to justify her decision to anyone.

She also stated that she had previously adopted from this same shelter, so this is not her first experience with shelters, and she knew what to expect.

To the OP: Please do not listen to the extra banter here. There is NO reason for you to have been offended. It was just how you interpreted it. I am sorry that the extra *banter* is occuring for no reason at all.
If you feel that this thread has gone on long enough, just pm the admin and have him close it.....THEN wander around YT a bit and ENJOY IT! Keep in mind that people on all online forums all have different opinions. That is how we learn! Sadly, some people like to keep the fires burning when there is no need for that to occur.

Opinions differ and innuendo and tone are subject to interpretation. Rather than assuming someone is being rude or flippant, they need to stand back and see if the post could be taken another way. And if they decide the post truly was inappropriate, they need to stop and think about whether or not being rude back does anything to advance the conversation. If it doesn't, then why respond at all? Just ignore it and move on.
