I go above and beyond when it comes to their care. They are like my own children. Being that I am this way with my fur kids, I still lost my beloved girl. I just do so much, and I seek vet care for them if they sneeze or cough. I go that extra mile and I still lost my girl. Therefore, when I read a thread about a yorkie whose owner had noticed the dog had lost 3 lbs in a short period of time, my emotions got the best of me. I thought to myself, I did EVERYTHING for my girl and she is gone; this person has let a baby lose quite a bit of weight without seeking any vet care up to this point or even trying to give some type of supplemental food from their own kitchen and they still have their girl. I felt like it was just so unfair. I was being selfish and only thinking of myself. My emotions have been a roller coaster for the past 2 weeks and I have let them get the best of me. So again I apolojize for my actions yesterday and I am trying to find peace within myself so that I can be of help to others in the future and not lash out at anyone even if I don't agree with the situation. I needed to say this. Thanks,

Robbie,

I also did the same thing last year when I lost my Raisin, for some of the same reasons as you. I immediately apologized but felt bad just the same. I could not save my little girl either and no one could have taken better care or been more cautious.

It is hard some times to hold it all together and I’m sure no one here thinks any less of you, though probably much more knowing all you have been through.

This thread says a lot about who you are!!!
BRAVO... I admire your honesty!

How nice of you, but you were right too. Not all people can do as much for their pets as you do, but a LOT of people just don't use common sense. I'm sorry for you loss and you may have overstated your point, but a little wakeup call is sometimes needed. I have felt, myself, like jumping in from time to time, but it's like at the office - when in doubt, or too emotionally involoved - time out. Saved me many times. It's just our animals can't talk - we have to watch them and do what we can. So, don't beat yourself up too much - you are a very helpful person.

Robbie...kudos to you for being a very "BIG" person. We're all human here...with God knows what tragedies going on behind the "banter'....not to mention that most of us here are women.!..so emotions are the natural landscape here. Worse would be apathy..so HUGS to you...and I hope you have a new furbaby to fuss and coddle and love very soon!
