SOME things are better left unsaid...

Donna, Most people just don't get it, that why you have us

I think she is just looking out for your best interest, and spoke before she thought. I doubt she meant it to sound so harsh!

Don´t keep bad thoughts in, tell her that comment hurt you, then move on.

I am sure you don´t need anymore negativity in your life now! ((hugs))

I'm guessing she doesn't have pets so doesn't understand the deep bond that animals and humans can have..............Don't let her insenstivity get to you, we all understand

Donna, I understand how insensitive that sounded and of course, we all know that would not be an option, but just for one moment, could you please think about what you said about friendship? You said.......

Friends should be able to tell friends anything.

Well, I believe your friend thought she could mention this option to you. YES, she could have said it in a nicer manner but I am certain she did not mean to make you feel bad.

Could be that you just caught her in a harried or anxious mood herself.
If she has small children who were pass ready for bed, I totally could
understand.A lot of times when people want to talk about problems
with a friend, that's all they want is to talk.The problems come in when
they feel they must make suggestions to help.

I'm in a similar boat myself. Just lucky I had a $2 off coupon for Nutro Max Cat and a credit slip for Pet Food Express, otherwise I might have had to raid the sample baskets at the Humane Society the other night.

I agree with the folks who say that your friend may have spoken without thinking. Just let her know that it hurt, then forgive her.

Are your kitties giving you purr therapy? Don Juan is as good a friend as ever, and Zerlina always makes me smile with her sweet face and antics. I sure as heck wouldn't give them up.

You got THAT one right!!!

I TRY to let things like that roll off my back. But yesterday really just got to me. Susan used to foster Seeing Eye Dogs for Fidelco years ago. I'll see her at her son's Bar Mitzfah on April 7th and everything will be fine. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

In the meantime, I'll just keep plugging away.

I got my HP covering my back.
