Ya know we Love ya girl And I love the Killer thread I have met lots of sweet people there. It is always fun and you can talk about anything

Being new is part of it. The folks that have responded to my posts have been very nice for the most part.
The part that makes me feel like I don't fit in are more along the lines of

1. I don't "spoil" my baby....at least that much.

2. I don't have her Yorkie coiffure done regularly. She does get brushed, tho.
Heck, Can't afford my own hairdo!
3. I'm not on a first name basis with our Vet. I might need him once a year (thank goodness).
4. I don't feed my dog organic (or my kids for that matter) stuff, just what I can find at the grocery store and feel is decent. Please don't slam me about the corn content and all.... Sweety is healthy and eats plenty.

There are a bunch of other stuff that I see from the posts that I don't do. Some, I have tried to change to benefit Sweety. Some are things that go on my priority list way down there below some of the stuff I need to do for my skin kids and husband.

Then there is the one someone mentioned before about being slammed. Because I am different than alot of folks on here, I worry about being slammed. I'm not weird. I'm just suthern! We don't do organic in my neck of the woods. We do homegrown!

We fry our taters and about anything else that will float in Wesson when it's done.

Anyway.. just thought I'd jump in with two feet!

What a cool thread!

Well, silly me, I still feel a bit like an outsider looking in

...I mean I'm completely addicted and don't seem to have a shortage of posts, lol, but I still read plenty of threads and think "oh how sweet, look what great buddies those members are" or something of that ilk. I also hesitate to jump in with both feet (like previous poster) when I see something I completely disagree with.

Anyway, I've met many wonderful folks on this site and have several who's posts I read faithfully, because they always make me laugh, or I love their pics, etc.

LOL! Nobody hardly ever responds to my threads! So half the time I dont feel like I belong either!

KrystalDawn · 03-01-2007, 08:22 PM

I went against my better judgement and did that a few times (posted on something I didn't agree with)......the last time I got slammed and then slammed again in a PM. So I pretty much stick to the noncontroversial threads now!

*pout* I try!!

WesleyandMaddie · 03-01-2007, 08:41 PM

I've been here a while and I still don't really feel like I belong yet. There are alot of people that I know, but I don't think anyone knows me. I know that I should try and post more than I do, but sometimes I just feel like I don't have anything eloquent enough to contribute. I'm hoping to get to know more people though. I know then I'll feel like I belong.

Though I've met a few friends for life on here, as far as the YT 'community' goes, I still feel like a new member even though I've been here almost a year. Not sure why I feel that way...I just do.

But, you're "family" to me!

spiked_poodle · 03-02-2007, 04:29 AM

I have a hard time feeling as if I belong too. Not because anyone has been anything other than helpful though! I think I just don't feel knowledgable yet. I am learning very fasy though! A lot of times I don't stay with my thread because I am so very busy with housetraining my Uma, and of course JuJu HAS to do everything the new pup does, so she is getting a refresher too! Then there is the supervised play time, the leash training, the free time outside, chow time,and of course cuddle and groom time! I am just busy! Hopefully things will slow down as Uma matures, and I will be able to spend more free time of my own. I do love this site!
