---------- I realize there are people who are upset about Deadbug's post; it's understandable. I think it can have a positive influence if we understand that the member who took her life, did so NOT because of one single solitary thing in her life (ie, her dog, or YT). When people take their lives, it's much, much more complicated than this. This person clearly had a very troubled marriage, domestic abuse, fear, anger, felt 'bullied' (whether she was or not, she felt that way)....and all of those things resulted in a tragic unraveling in her personal life. Deadbug - I think the part of your post that bothered me a bit was this sentence: "All because of a dog and everyone else's perception of "the right thing to do"." -- that's the part that I think puts too much onus in one area of her life. Her situation with her dog wasn't the sole cause of all the pain in her life, and wasn't the sole cause of her death. Rather, it was one piece of a puzzle...and none of us know just how many other pieces there were to that puzzle. It's a tough subject, without a doubt. But, it is indeed true that people can be fragile, people can be at the end of their rope...and even though it's not our job to 'save' them, it is our job to know that our words can DEEPLY affect people, at all times.

| I realize we do need to be careful of what we say and how we say it because we dont know where someone is personally in their life however saying she took her life because of how she was treated on here is just not true and was just said to make an argument. Im sure there were many circumstances in her life that led to it. I dont think anyone would seriously commit suicide over something said on a internet forum. It would take something more personal and fare reaching than that

| Personally I'm not convinced that they really tried hard enough but whatever, I don't know them, doesn't matter what I think, and am just going off of what this person posted so maybe they did more, who knows. Sorry for your loss!

| I didn't mean to imply that it was the cause, and it certainly wasn't said to make an argument erupt. But it was a contributing factor in the downward spiral that caused her to make such a decision. I can't see me ever in a position where I would entertain that, but I'm not as delicate as she was. There's a lot to that story that you don't know. Fact is, we all love our dogs or we wouldn't insist on socializing with others who also love their dogs. That is our common ground. Those fluffy, rambunctious, stubborn, yet loving furballs. And we all want what's best for every one of them. But we don't have to be mean, nasty or hateful to articulate our point, do we? I don't see where it's necessary to hurt someone because they're limited in what they're able to do. This woman wasn't prepared for a dog to come into her life. It just happened. Has it ever happened to you? It doesn't mean she should be crucified for not spending $$$$'s on a dog she only knew for a few days. She did something. That's more than a lot of people would have done.

| Yea I agree I dont think anymore could have been done more the mother just found the dog on saturday. Gave the dog to the Op and they notice somethings not quite right with it and got it to the vet by wednesday. I can also see why it was questioned though because no one wants to hear of a dog dying when maybe it could have been saved if it were taken right in. I dont think theres a right or a wrong here just a terrible tragedy that Im sure the Op had no way of seeing with the limited symptoms the dog was displaying.

| I dont think just because you question something you are being hateful or mean it is the way it is questioned that can make it hateful or mean and I dont think Taylor was mean just questioning. You could read between the lines on others posts and they were questioning it too they just didnt say it

| Taylor was not mean...not nasty. She was right in asking the questions that she asked throughout this thread......and just as right in her frustration. I avoided it for reasons not to be posted here but I found it extremely frustrating. I felt sorry for the pup and for the owner if he/she was looking for her. This thread needs to die imho. The way I see this, questioning people who truly were giving good suggestions is pointless and argumentative at this point. I don't see what can be gained.
