Selina, you are someone I stive to be like. I told you I thought you were my hero and you replied that "Lily is the hero". She showed you her strength and you gave her your love. I wish I could give you a hug. You are a remarkable person.

I hope she gets on soon and reads this and realizes how much we love her....and Lily

Selina, you have a greater capacity to love than most people that I know. My prayers are for you and your family for comfort. Please know that you are loved.

Selina,

Very few people would have been willing to take a sick dog. It shows such compassion and courage. You're an inspiration to all of us. Please don't stay away. We need you and your good, good heart.

Judy

You are truly a compassionate person and one who belongs here on YT. Don't let evil win out over good.

it looks like she is no longer a member on this site :( that is so sad. it's horrible that someone treated her that way. what is wrong with people these days/?????

selina, I do hope you come back...and I hope you know that we all know you did all you could. bless you for all you have done.

hugs...

A message from Selina...
 

Selina is really touched by everyone's kindness here and she asked me to post this for her until she is able to post herself.:)

Paula, you are very sweet for started this thread. Thank you so much. I also want to say thank you to everyone that has posted here, along with everyone who prayed for Lily and supported me through taking care of her. I can't even find the words to express how much your support and prayers have meant to me.

I decided to come back under a new name. I couldn't turn my back on the people who have given me such support. I can't let one person make me leave because there are far more good people here than bad. At the time I made the decision to leave, I was very upset, sleep deprived and very scared for Lily. I felt like I had failed her. But, now that I can think a little more clearly, I know I didn't fail her. I loved her unconditionally, and I know that she knew that. I've had a very hard time these past few days, but I know that I have to let Lily go so that she can run and play with all the other little angels. I feel so sad, and my heart is aching because I miss her so much, but I have to try to move on. It's just soooooo hard. My husband, Jake and I buried Lily yesterday in our backyard under a tree, close to where we have bonfires at night. Lily will always hold a special place in my heart that no one else has ever or will ever touch. My husband and I love her so very much, and we miss her sweet little face. Jake misses her too, he still goes to her crate to look in on her.

Right now I can't post because I'm having probs receiving the activation email. I'd rather not keep my old name, so I know I have to start over with my post count, but that's okay. Willow was kind enough to post for me.....thank you, Willow.

I decided to come back for three reasons. First and foremost, I couldn't leave all the wonderful people who have supported me. You are all very special to me and to Lily. Second, my husband and I gave Jake his first haircut, and where else better to show it off??? I had wanted to post pics before, but then Lily got too sick. I think he looks very handsome! I will post pics as soon as I can get on the site to post. Took us 3 1/2 hours with breaks here and there, he had a ton of hair!!! In fact, I weighed him before and after. He went from 4 lbs. 8 oz. to 4 lbs. 4 oz. lol. We still have a little trimming up to do to even it out here and there, but I'm happy with his cut, and he seems much cooler. My third reason for coming back is......... I want to join the Whack Job Club!!!!!!!

I will be posting again as soon as I'm activated. Again, thank you all so much for EVERYTHING!!!

Selina

Oh Selina - I'm so glad you decided not to leave us!!!! I'm lookin forward to seeing handsome Jake's new hair do!! Can you and hubby come to my house and do Otis and Oliver? They do not behave for Mommy when it comes to "beauty shop" time.:D

I'm back with my new name and finally activated so I can post now. I will post the pics of Jake's new haircut later. I'm trying to catch up on some things around the house, and I have to work tonight. Will post the pics from there if it's not too busy.

Thank you again to everyone!
Selina

YAY!!!! Mega-nuts and other troublemakers be d*mned!!!:D

Did I say Jake behaved?? lol He was very wiggly and didn't want to hold still at all. We gave him treats and breaks, and once he finally started to get tired, it got easier. We now know that the next time, we'll wait until a weekend when he's good and tired and then do it because he's much more cooperative that way.

Welcome back! Yea!!!!! :D

I am new to this whole fiasco. I am so sorry for your loss Selina, Lily was so lucky to have a Mommy like you, some Mommies would give up, of course that doesn't include YT Mommy's, we're a special breed, but you really went to extra mile and you did it with strength, dignity and grace. I don't know what was said to you but i'm also you had to experience the very worst side of humanity, the intolerable cruelty. I deal with it everyday at work, i'm practically immune to it anymore, except from what i've read regarding your situation, i was ibeside myself with anger!!! I hope whoever pm'ed you has come to realize that that type of behavior will not be tolerated around here and nor is it welcome. YT'ers are a strong community of individuals and no one can break us. Please let me know if you need anything! we are so glad to have you back, we are all blessed to know you and your strength of character!

Welcome back!!

I haven't been on YT very long, but I really love it here. So far everyone has been wonderful, but I know that there are always the "nay-sayers". I belong to other BBs and have read many hurtful comments. I hope that your return is a happy one.

welcome back selina... :thumbup: :thumbup: the girl with the heart of gold
