I was happy to see this thread. It was upsetting to read the negative things going on here recently. I've had such positive experiences on this forum and am very grateful for the help and support I received ever since I first joined (2+ years ago -- yikes!). I have a long list of nice things to say; these come to mind now, but I'll add more later!
Lori (willowchow) offered support through numerous emails/PMs after Tonka died, and her surprise of creating and posting a photo collage of him meant the world to me. Her devotion to her beautiful blue girl, in spite of the difficulties, makes her an amazing and admirable dog-mom!
Missy (bragg1120) shared her sweet and thoughtful nature with me when we were both in deep mourning. Her kindness comes right through the screen, and she's been such a good "listener" during my extended grieving period.
Callie is the "encyclopedia of dog health care" when it comes to puzzling symptoms, non-traditional medical attention, special needs, etc. I think she could be a best-selling author --- she could write amazing reference guides, AND she could write wonderful children's books using the gift she has for giving different voices and personalities to her dogs when they "post."
Maria (t_m) is so patient with my endless comparisons of her Talus with my Tonka (they're soul brothers). Her willingness to share Talus with me shows her generous spirit.
Cathy (cakana) always has kind words to offer, regardless of the topic. Even if it's a thread I'm not posting on, I always feel good when I read her posts.
