Arguing in PetTalkVille????

[gini]

I just had to start a new thread because the one about "I have had enough" is just that - done, over, enough!

Say we were all together in our PetTalkVille - our idealic spot where everything is perfect - everyone has a job they love - and our pets are spoiled rotten.

Now you are eyeball to eyeball with every member. If there was a disagreement would you stomp off? Would you slam a door or two? Would you shout horrible things at each other? Is that how you lead your life in your town?

Somehow, I don't think so. At least, I would hope not.

So as we post - maybe we could keep this in mind.

What made me post this, is the thought of everyone screaming and yelling at each other in PetTalkVille made me laugh out loud!

Hugs to everyone here and scritches for your critters!

you can scream all you want me my house and our pets just look at you funny. Cause my brothers love to scream (not yelling) at any momnet in time. LOL. But yea I agree. No more fighting

Mine don't care.

Gini,

Great post! The only person around my house to scream is me. And I don't, because I have no one to scream at except my cats. To me that's abuse. Besides, I'd sound awfully silly screaming with no one else to hear me.

In PetTalkVille, I, as mayor, would have a herd of specially trained big dogs - maybe Saint Bernards, Great Pyrenese, Irish Wolfhounds, Danes, or mixes of that size - you know, the "too big too ignore" kind. If, by some strange circumstance, an argument broke out, they would gallop off, get between the two or however many people arguing, and start licking faces. There - you try to fight with a washcloth-size tongue washing your face!

My cats hate loud noises. I may yell at them from time to time but I don't consider that screaming. I know they wouldn't like it.

My dear, sweet, gentle rescue Cody, who was severly beaten and screamed at in her former home, will hit the floor, cower and belly crawl into a corner if she hears voices raised, even a bit. Once she was so distressed while over hearing an argument, this 75 lb. Husky/Shep straddled the top half of a storm door, broke through the screen and tried to crawl outside. I never felt so sickened in my life as I looked at the fear on her face. She thought I was angry with her. My Cody would never survive in a Pettalkville where voices are raised in anger. I can be pretty vocal when engaged in debate and definitely have strong opinions...But, I've always found that keeping this thought in mind..."It's about the animals, not me" keeps me from losing my cool and "stomping off!" I save my people "issues" for other forums, times and places! To paraphrase Mark Twain, you fail to make your point when you make it in anger. We all love our animals, on that we can agree!!

Beautiful Sandra just beautiful! {{{{{HUGS, Dear Cody!!}}}}} You are in the bestest most loving home now and we couldn't be happier for you!

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Oh Sandra, I didn't know that Cody was in such an abusive home, poor girl, thank goodness you have her and I know she is loving life now. You give that sweet girl lots of hugs and kisses from all of us.

gini, I couldn't have said it better myself!
I come here to get away from all the hurt and anger, to talk about my wonderful pets, not to fight. I can do that any time with other people (not that I do mind you!). This is supposed to be a "feel good" place. I know we don't always share the same point of view, but we should be able to listen and go on...not get upset. I care a great deal about all the friends I've made here, and I try not to say anything I think would hurt someone's feelings. If only everyone would would do that (guess that would be a perfect world then, hu?).
Can't we just all get along?! PLEASE!!!
