SOME things are better left unsaid...

You are NOT alone, we are here and do understand. Have faith, and trust my dear. Can I help, of course I can, we can. If you are crazy then we all are!! And I happen to think we are a great support service. You HAVE US. You are not alone.

that was rude of her. Does she have any animals? I am asking, because so she knows how much you love them and that you wouldn't give them up for the world. I hope things look up for you soon, Donna! ((hugs))

Thanks everyone. I KNOW everyone here understands. That's why I love this place. You guys are the best. I don't know what I'd do without you!!

I've known Susan since I was 2 years old. I'm sure she meant well, but it still hurt nonethless.

This place and you all have been a real comfort to me. Love you LOTS!!!

My cats would eat before I would and I would have told her that in a heartbeat. Sorry, but I think she should have offered you some help if she was a GOOD friend.... at least offer to buy them a bag of food!

You are right, some things are left better unsaid. Honestly, she probably can't understand how much your cats mean to you. I hope that she can somehow understand that they mean so much to you, so this arguement can pass, and you will be seeing eye-to-eye on this hard time in life...

I used to always have food in the house for the cat and none for myself, lucky for me my circumstances have changed a bit. Most of my friends also understand that the cat comes first and would never make a remark like that. Maybe she'll realize what she said was wrong and apologize.

I am truly sorry about your financial problems right now, and also about what your friend said I think she meant well, and wanted to offer you advice so that you could be happy, but it didn't come out right. I say the wrong things SO many times it's ridiculous I did it just today when I was talking to my sis about loosing weight. Well, my sis is already thin, and I said I wanted to get a little skinnier than her. BAD THING TO SAY lol. She was like, "Um, thanks?" Lol, well just leave your friend be for a while, and see if she maybe comes to you about the hurtful thing she said to you. Man, I want to make you feel better, how about some jokes? I have blondes, there my specialty, considering I AM one lol.

My freinds say this kind of stuff to me all the time. They will ask me how ZOey is doing and I would tell them the problems.They say Why don't you just get rid of her. I am so angry because my freinds should know how much I love Zoey!! I know how you feel.

Sadly Donna some people have never experienced the magical bond of love we have for our pets, and IMO they are missing out big time, your friend is obviously one of them, don't take it too hard and she probably meant well, but it was a rather insensitive comment, but if you value her friendship, try and let it go and just remember not everyone is as fortunate as ourselves to experience that special love with our pets, feel sorry for her really, and Donna I am sorry to hear things are so damn difficult right now,life is extremely tough at times, know you are in my thoughts and i am sending positive vibes for things to improve and soon. take care and HUGS.
