    To those who are concerned about Tink

    copied and pasted from the "other" post....
     
    "Tink is doing very well with crate training and doesnt mind the crate. No we are not giving her up or sending her to a shelter or adopting her out or anything other than keeping her.

    No, Im not divorcing my husband or leaving him or anything else. He had one of those days that EVERYONE has and is fine with Tink and will be fine in the future with Tink. Weve been through too much to split up over a pet...my health issues, his....losing 3 children including losing our son Andrew at 34 weeks...this is NOTHING compaired to THAT.

    And I am leaving this forum."

    Wendy, I'm so glad its going well with Tink. Sounds like you and DH have been through a lot together - congrats on banding together on this too. Sure do wish you wouldn't leave the forum though. [:(]

    Tinks, I am glad to hear this.
     
    I am also glad to hear you let the folks "advising" you on your DH know what you think. 
     
    I did try to let Jaime know before it reached the point where you felt you needed to leave, but she's so busy these days! I am sorry to see you go...all the best however and feel free to PM me.

    I wish you wouldn't leave also, although I can understand why you feel this way...this got way out of hand in spite of some efforts to get back on track.  Some people need to think twice before adding fuel to the fire.

    Hugs to you and your family and Tink...I am very glad you are trying to make this work.  Tink will be a wonderful companion for all of you!

    Thanks for checking in. I#%92m so glad things are going well and wish you all the best in the future.

    I too am sorry to see you go. I went through something similar when I made an offhand comment about my SO and everyone jumped on him. It#%92s absolutely amazing that someone would assume to know so much about your life that they pass judgment on you and your family based on a few words you write on a forum post. My apologies for the treatment you received here. It#%92s appalling.

    I'm sorry to see you leave, I always enjoy your posts. Maybe you will reconsider once things settle down a bit.
     
    I hope you can understand that the people here don't know your family or home situation, and as much as we all haven't met, you come to care about your fellow forum members. In that light, a lot of the posters who replied to you did so out of great concern for the situation you were in both relating to Tink and just the general feeling of distress that came across from your original post.

    I posted to your other thread, as I didn't realize it was over a week old.
    I am new here, but don't leave based on some comments by others.  I have had some really rude comments from people on other various forums over the years, and while it really ticks me off sometimes, what I have realized is that the information and commeraderie that I get from many other people is worth just ignoring the ignorance of those who aren't helpful and friendly.  If there is any one person you don't want to hear from, just block them!!!  I was glad to see someone else with a little one here, as on the other forum I go to (re: dogs) there are very few dog mommies who also have children, and many times there are differing opinions from those with kids vs. those without.
    Please don't leave!

    i am new here also but I thought about you and your furbaby yesterday when I was at Walmart. They had the cutest little raincoat with a little sparkley belt buckle with a picture of the Disney Tinkerbell on it!!
     
    I am very glad to hear that things are better at home. Please reconsider leaving this forum. I agree, the posters were defending you and you know that things don't always come across emails in the proper tone.

    glad to hear things are working out with Tink
    very sorry to hear that you will leave the forum - I understand as I frequented a golf forum for over 7 years (one of the first members) and then it just go so nasty I said a quite sayanara (sp?)  I still read stuff on there but don't post
    There are some good people on here with good info so as a new dog owner you may at the least want to keep reading as I think it is beneficial (has been for me anyway!)
    good luck and continued success!

    Tinks-
    Sorry you feel the need to leave.  You'll be missed, and I hope that you will at least stay in touch with some of us.  I haven't read all of that other thread- and since the tone wasn't so nice, I probably won't read it now.  I'm sorry that you feel the way you do, but it's also understandable if people were talking too much. 
     
    Feel free to PM me.

    Tinks, I too will miss you.  But I am so glad everything is working out for the best.  I didn't see the other post, but am sorry that things took a turn for the worse.[&o]

    Wendy, I'm glad things are going better with Tinkerbelle and your DH, but I'm so sorry to see you leave the forum. I don't know the exact original situation/intentions, but I think sometimes posts are meant to be a joke and they get taken seriously and get way out of hand. Take care of yourself and your family.

    I'm also glad to hear that things are ok on the homefront.  I did not post in the other thread since it was so cranky, but I sure hope you'll reconsider staying.
    • Gold Top Dog
    I too stayed out of the other thread.  But I wish you would reconsider leaving the forum.  The good advice and knowledge that you can gain here is invaluable to Tink and yourself.  And I would hope that it would eventually outweigh the treatment you recieved in that thread.  We really would hate to see you go.

    Please don't leave. We aren't always tactful but otherwise we're pretty good folks. Give us a second chance.
