I will try to make this short and sweet........
Thank you for your Operation Resuce Maddie. I know if you could have busted her out she would have been in good hands. Let me set this straight however, NO ONE lied to anyone. She WAS in a NO-Kill shelter and she didn't have behavioral problems that needed to be told. We discovered the "potty problem" was Lexi all along, not Maddie. She just needed obedience and I believe I mentioned that to them. HOWEVER, the day I brought her in I was balling my eyes out and could barely tell the lady anything so if something was left unmentioned then I'm sorry.
I chose not to discuss this or tell anyone because of my guilt and having to deal with this on my own. I really didn't think about having you guys help because we are all so far away. I guess I underestimated you all, my fault. I really just didn't think that far.
Some of the snide remarks that I caught really upset me. I am truly greatful that you all banded together like you did, I really should have known you would. But on the other hand, I feel awful... it's like your committment to bust her out left me feeling worse...like less of a person. That may not make sense but that is how I feel. If she wouldn't have been taken there, no one would have had to bust her out.... so my guilt resurfaces.
Don't take anything I said wrong, that other thread is closed as is the negativity of that topic.... I just felt I should say something, I'm not trying to be harsh, really:) You all know me better than that.
