I really wish I didn't feel like I had to- but from the job loss to here I feel people making assumtions about someone they don't know- me. Sorry- but I refuse to get upset from people's false statements and then to let people believe them.
I have been physically upset all night reading this board- it really does make me sick to the stomach.
Sympathy is an amazing thing and I wish some of you had it. I'm not asking for pity- just asking to leave me alone already. I just wanted to let you all know what happened and to be done with it, but someone had to say something about how it was probably my doing or judging my character which is totally out of line.
passionate- yes.
over this crap- yes.
Bluefox,I am sorry this has made you fill sick.To be honest I fill really sad myself. You be strong, and know you are on my mind and heart.

hope everyone feels better this morning. this looks like a case of serious mis-communication. it also appears that BF was just not in a position to follow through as much as she may have wanted to. its an unfortunate situation for all, but really - this level of personal detail isn't necessary on the board. I believe both parties have really good intentions, and love for the pups, but it just wasn't to be. my only wish is for a good home for those precious dogs.

, sorry about your Labor Day week end plans. It would be very difficult to travel with 4 dogs. SoWal Expert
Here's a great story for anyone who wants to read it:
On Saturday I had to go up to school for an informative meeting about the graduate program, which was immediately followed by an interview that determined whether or not I was a suitable candidate for the Music Ed program.
During the meeting, one of the other students asked what to expect during the interview. The powers that be told us that it would be basic questions about our views of music education, "Just answer the questions in a conversational way, and tell us how you feel about what we ask."
She hesitated, looked over at the department chair, looked back at us, and continued: "And know when to shut up."
Great story! In the words of my unimitable high school english teacher: "It is better to be thought stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I can't claim to always know when to stop talking, but it's a good idea in theory!

Many years ago, when my insurance company was paying a lot of money for a therapist to help me make some sense of my life, I received a piece of advice that was worth every penny. When you feel there's something you really, really want to say, that's usually a sign you should keep it to yourself. When you feel there's something that's going to be hard to say, that's usually a sign it should be said.

This thread is supposed to be about find Lola and Zepplin a good home. Cannot close it yet because Huskerfan doesn't need four dogs. Let's get back to the point of the thread and find the dogs a home.
SoWal Expert
Love me some good horseradish sauce on batter fried mushrooms!Maybe people should be talking about the dogs on the "Puppies Need A Home" thread, and we wouldn't need to start a new thread. :scratch: It ain't rocket science. ;-)![]()
Sorry SJ...this should be on the dining & food thread....
I DO want those pups to find a good home!![]()
Maybe a NEW thread should be started?????
For the record, Huskerfan's phone numbers are on post number 102 or 103. (I cannot remember which). If you know of anyone who would make a good match for Lola and Zepplin, give huskerfan a call.

I agree SJ...why not start a new thread with huskerfan's blessing?

OH my....this is terrible. I hope it turns out for everyone. Awwwww Youth (reminds me of my past....knows no barriers). I love this board and hope all will seek to forgive and let it go. Sure could use a win-win situation to happen.
Asking for a miracle!

I think we need a forum just for pets (needing homes, lost etc) w/ the caveat that there be no discussions there.

I know, but "hope springs eternal". Maybe if folks couldn't respect a dedicated forum, Kurt could delete/move any unnecessary posts.

"That is very true and could very well work!", TNJed says as Kurt :roll: and thinks, "Thanks guys, as if I don't have enough to do as it is."

Thanks! I cropped my 6 month old "nephew" from a family snapshot!
I wasn't trying to make more work for Kurt, just hoping the threat of deletion could be an added deterrant ............ for the folks for whom knowing they were preventing an animal from being reunited w/ their owner or finding a home before they were euthanized wasn't enough!

An example?
"BARK! Woof-woof bark, bark pant?"
"Meow."
"Grrrrrrrr..."
"Mrrrgrrowow.."
"Ruh-roh!"

Respect is such a nice idea, don'tcha think? To quote Rodney King: Why can't we all just get along?!

As Sgt. Friday would say, "Just the facts, Mam, just the facts"
I think it would be a great idea, that is of course if Kurt thinks it is a great idea. ;-)

Exactly why I agree that these pups should get a new thread if they still need a home.
The last two times I've been on the board, I spent the whole night reading this thread.

The upside of this entire situation is to know that so many people in Sowal are wise enough to adopt or rescue pets rather than buy from breeders.
3-4 MILLION pets are euthanized each year
25% of dogs in shelters are pure breds!
If We stop making them, we can stop killing them.

I admire EVERYONE who understands the importance of adopting a pound puppy. If you do adopt one BF, that's one less that will be euthanized and I for one would like to thank you.

I noticed the puppies are no longer your 'tar, SJ. Have they found a home?
