Missing him

• MissMandy Posted : 10/23/2006 3:09:55 PM Billy, I'm sure we've all spoken out of initial emotion, which can sometimes be hurtful to others. At least you're willing to admit that fact and apologize for it. Thanks. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• magilacudy Posted : 10/23/2006 4:09:42 PM We all know I have put my foot in my mouth on a number of occations. The last thread I had opened had alot to do with this subject, so I understand Billy's anger in the topic. I too find it rediculous that they give their dog away and come here for support, when most people here are involved in rescue, or would do anything possible to keep their beloved pet, I find it hard to believe that they would give much support.   Billy has never insulted someone before without it being a joke or well deserved. Billy always has educated information to give and also shows alot of support here to people, but he is also known for not being impressed with people who are irresponsible. I'm not sticking up for Billy because he has a crush on me, I am simply saying I understand why he would say the things he does. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Sarah Brunger Posted : 10/23/2006 4:25:27 PM Well, to each their own. No one knows anyone else's situations specifically on these posts so why judge?? What (i'm sure) most of us heard as we were growing up, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". Anyone who refers themselves as a "jerk" should probably expect a negative reaction in return.   Why be the jerk anyway??? I don't get it.   You did what you had to do, i can't imagine having to give up my boy, but like someone else said dogs can do fine in apartments, you just have to put more effort into it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• probe1957 Posted : 10/23/2006 4:28:56 PM LMAO.  She is only saying that because she has a crush on me which, by her own admission, is purely physical.  [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Lena (Penny Forever) Posted : 10/23/2006 4:52:17 PM WOW, this is quite nasty. I have seen other threads where someone has stated that the OP is a troll after their first post but things always got resolved. I almost crapped myself when I read, "go slit your throat and I hope your kids die". Wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!!!!! There are always disagreements on topics here but lets not get personal and vicious. Man that sickens me[:@][:@][:@]   I just read the whole thread over again and for someone who claims to love their dog so much, why on earth would you wish for someone elses "dogs to get run over". Doesn't sound like much of an animal lover to me. Just the thought of someone wishing such a horrid thing on someone elses animal(s) makes me ill. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I don't get it.   No you wouldn't get it. It's an inside joke. It's his nick name.  He's very proud of it.[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 10/23/2006 5:30:36 PM Wow, and some of you think the CM threads go downhill in a hurry - now we have someone who wants another person's dog to die.  May not have come here as a troll, but sure ended up one.  That kind of sentiment certainly isn't welcome here no matter what the reason. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• probe1957 Posted : 10/23/2006 5:41:05 PM ORIGINAL: lena I have seen other threads where someone has stated that the OP is a troll after their first post but things always got resolved.   That didn't escape me either.  Did you notice that once I chimed in, such as it was, there was none of the USUAL outrage one would expect to see here when the discussion has to do with giving up a dog because of moving?  Hmmmmm?  Did anyone notice the lack of outrage?  The only conclusion I can come up with is that it is not WHAT was said but WHO said it.  I am okay with that but I am honest enough to call a spade a spade. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 10/23/2006 5:52:28 PM Billy, I don't have a clue what prompted your initial post.  I do appreciate your being man enough to retract your comments, but gosh darn, I've gotten FAR worse PM's than that.   Do I also fall into that same scumbag category for rehoming Sadie at 13 plus months?  Sheba was not pleasant to her and Sadie was NEVER gonna be the dog she COULD be in another home.  I dearly love that girl and I'm so thrilled that she's in an awesome home and able to be the "alpha bitch" AND a stunning girl.  So, I didn't move, but I rehomed her for what I considered HER own good.  Does that make me scum? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 10/23/2006 5:59:45 PM Billy did you stop to think that perhaps people had not responded because they had nothing to say that was productive? Perhaps you can also consider that possibility in future.   It's really not all about you...tho this thread seems to indicate you'd like for it to be. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 10/23/2006 6:09:57 PM I'd also like to put forth that your post did much to stymy the topic being discussed at all...outraged or not.   Given that it was posted in the wee hours of the morning...and you responded first thing in the morning...lol...there wasn't really a lot of time to see WHAT...if anything would have been posted. Anything unconnected to your comment and ensuing nonsense on both sides, that is.   In fact I would wager that those who read your response were likely surprised to the extent that they figured the whole thing was likely best avoided. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 10/23/2006 6:10:12 PM OK, I'm just as guilty as anyone else, but lets all stop the OT stuff and name calling and whatever else.   It *sounds* like the OP did what HE thot was the best thing for his dog but is regretting giving him up even for a better life than he can currently offer.  This is what I'm getting from HIS posts.   As for the PM...well, that wasn't any of our business and the posting of it was not neccessarily the wisest choice Billy has made today.  Lets just guess that he had his reasons for both that and the first reaction to the initial post.   Since we seem to have scared the OP off.....how 'bout we just stop spitting at one another and let the whole issue go?  Otherwise, I'm gonna have to find some Red Sox rears to talk about.......[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 10/23/2006 6:13:54 PM I'm for that!   I have rehomed dogs, and if you care it is not easy nor is it something to be done lightly. I agree the eventual happiness of said dog, is what is important... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
