Small Dogs

Okay, another thing, WHY DOES everyone bring Briana and Roxy into threads, when she has nothing to do with it? I don't think it's fair at all. I don't agree with Roxys situation and neither does Briana! It's her moms decision, not hers. If it was up to Briana she would NOT leave Roxy outside. Roxys life is certainly improving in many ways. If you all have a problem with Brianas pet welfare, fine, but DON'T say anything about it and stop bringing up other people in threads that have nothing to do with them. This happened a few months back with another member, and she did not like it, so I doubt Briana does. So, guys, don't keep bringing up Briana in threads, it keeps happening latley, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed. I may be leaving Pettalk for awhile, I'm really sick of this drama and fighting...

I agree, you all see Roxy's life is improving too. You saw she got a bath and got to stay inside for a few hours while her mom was away,and now when her moms not home Roxy can come inside. Roxy life is improving ALOT. Briana didn't even start this thread, you guys always try and get her involved!!

How is she struggling? She just said that they are tumors that keep coming back. She takes care of all of her 30 pets very well.

Actually, Alaska's 8 years old and he has 3 tumors we cannot afford right now.

[Roxyluvsme13]

If she takes care of them so well, why does Alaska have 3 tumors..

Whats disgusts me is people seem to be bragging about the number of pets them have. Just because you have xx number of pets does not mean they are all getting to care they deserve and you deserve more animals. It seems like a competition to see who can get the highest number of pets. It is much better to own a few pets, who are getting the best of care, and then when you are confident that you can care for another animal at the same level as your other animals and your current animals will receive the same high level or care. Then I think one could add another pet. Improve the lives of you current pets before adding anymore. This is not directed to anyone inparticular, just something I have noticed.

I really do rezent that remark,I have had these animals before joining this Forum,And in no way do i try to keep up to anyone i think the few that are making remarks on her defence need to read over the hole post,This is a girl that is in here once a day almways saying about getting new dogs,and having show dogs.Then says"Actually, Alaska's 8 years old and he has 3 tumors we cannot afford right now".Do you think a new dog should even be thought of?When her pet is in need of health Care,I'm not here to bash but everything needs to be put on the table and considered.That is all im trying to say.

I have 6 pets and they get the love, care, and attention they deserve. I make time for them and I know my limit, I cannot have anymore and that's fine. what really bothers me is when your pet's health is going downhill and you are thinking of getting another one and can't even afford the vet bills for that one and why think of getting another one ? I would never think of getting another pet if my pet was ill, I'd rather be there for them and care for them properly than thinking of getting another pet. I probably am not going to get another pet for a lot of years, because I have my hands full with 6, like I said they all get the love and attention and vet care that they need and I know my limit. and I don't resent the remark either as I had 5 when I joined the forum and we rescued Tiger last year in Febuary, because Miagi needed a buddy of his own species.

I'm beginning to just think of Makalya and her friend Sarah as two of the biggest trolls I've ever seen in my life.

Just you girls wait for high school, there'll be different ways to get a lot of attention.

I think that is unnessacery to say about people that you don't know. Not being rude but that's just not polite

Trolls? What do you mean trolls?

You can't take care of tumors before they're even there How do you stop them before they come? There's no way, IS THERE?

First off, you've never seen us and know anything about us. So don't you go saying we're trolls.

Are they cysts or tumors?

Either way, no, you can't have prevented it.

It's been debated that there is no real difference between a cyst and a tumor. My vet (and therefore, myself as well) bases it on size. If it's big enough to be checked out to see if it's cancerous, it's a tumor, it should be removed even if it's benign. Depending on placement, it could be causing the dog serious discomfort -- all that fluid mashing against your bone when you sit or lie down, that's no good.

troll: One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

ETA :

I don't need to see you. I don't NEED to know anything about you, because what I do know about you stems from your posts here.

Troll, my dear, is not a synonym for harlot, as it seems you think it to be.

ETA2: And are you yourself not a PTer?

[WarahGirl1995]

We aren't causing the arguments Some of you PTers are.

I say Max might live outside = pters start a fight
I say we have to find Max a home = pters start a fight

I don't have anything to do with these fight things, neither does Makayla. We post an innocent board, then everyone turns it into an argument. It's ridiculous

[Roxyluvsme13]

HA! That makes me laugh. If you don't want arguments, then don't post about getting a new dog when you can't afford the current vet care of your current dogs. AND, of course they're going to get mad at you over the chain, and I already expressed my opinion on that.

one thing to say they aren't the ones causing the arguments and saying that they are is prolly hurting there feelings and that is not nice. but that's what i have to say i can see what Makayla is going through also with Sarah.

We post boards that should never start a fight, but someone says something and then an argument starts. It shouldn't make you laugh because it's true
