Apologies

Soledad, I have a huge amount of admiration for you to be able to publicly post an apology.

I was following that thread and stayed out of it. But I was curious about you and did a search on your posts. I was distressed to see that you rarely posted on the cat side, or dog side for that matter. Thank you for allowing us to see some pictures of Boo (Mr. Beautiful Big Eyes).

If we can all get to know you a bit better through Boo's beautiful eyes, then we will have more respect for other things you have to say.

Everyone is free to have their own opinions, but when things get heated and nasty - I just don't think it belongs on Pet Talk. But that is my own personal opinion.

As for those who had the gall to send you nasty private messages - the little cowards - they should be banned from Pet Talk.

None of them have the courage that you have shown!

Soledad,
Hmmm....well, I admire you greatly for publically apologizing. That takes courage, confidence, and shows strength of character. I know you and I have gone back and forth some over issues, so, I can't say you are the only one to inflame others, I have done the same thing. We are all human (I love it when I make such intelligent statments), and make errors in judgment, if it can even be called that.

I haven't ever known you to be hateful towards animals, or to anyone that expresses concerns over their furkids, so, you can't be all that bad:D :D .

So, I think once this thred runs its course...what has happened, has happened, and we all start over!!!!

I do question Boo's, ugh, use of eyeliner...how very retro! He is a beauty. Why did you name him Boo?

Soledad, I too admire you for posting your apologies, it took courage to do so. As for the people who sent the nasty PMs to you, I am so disappointed and sad that there are member of Pet Talk who would do such a thing.

Boo, handsome Boo!:) He is just gorgeous! :) Looking forward to seeing more pics? Please!:)

Boo is named Boo because Sam and I couldn't think of anything that wasn't really pretentious and obnoxious. We kept thinking of literary or historical figures, and it was just getting silly. I remember thinking that Boo was so sweet and cute, and I wanted a really affectionate name. Boo had a habit of initially hiding out under the stairs and staring at people from beneath the stairs, scaring our neighbors. So I thought he's a little Boo Radley!

I have taken more pics and will post them as soon as they develop!

Now these are the kind of threads I like to read!! I don't feel threatened and don't feel like I need to defend my country! I am sorry you had to receive hateful PM's. That kind of attacking is not necessary and serves no functional purpose other than to hurt people. Thanks for taking the initiative to get things back on the right track, Soledad! That was a very nice thing to do!

And the added bonus of getting to see your beautiful kitty was icing on the cake!!! :D :D I thought he was a girl too! :rolleyes: I wonder if you user name SOLEdad is because of those beautiful Soleful looking eyes?

Oh! Boo's pictures are tugging on my heart....he is gorgeous!!! I love his eyes, so full of personality and love.

Great pictures!

Yes, I'm very lucky to have my little Boo. He's a little cuddle-puss.
