"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[dogzr#1]

Okay guys just calm down. I can see that you guys are angry but some of the comments made are just a bit overboard. Bri can't help it if she doesn't wake up and as Reggie said, it's hard to change your mother's rules.

I think Bri knows she has to get up in the morning, but it may be hard for her to do that. I'm sure she tries to but it isn't that easy for some people to get out of bed, no matter how hard they try. I tried to wake my brother up today at around 12 and he just wouldn't get out of bed. I tried three or four times and he just wouldn't get out of bed. He has an alarm clock as well and he still wouldn't get out of bed. I bet this is how Bri is, a very heavy sleeper. I'm thinking the only way for her to wake up in time to call is by pulling an all-nighter and not going to sleep at all.

I am a heavy sleeper too and all of this just gets on my bad side.

good gracious. knock it off guys, this is why I don't feel PT is my home anymore. friends are friends. and now, who cares and gonna chop my head off again?

some people can be just plainly rude and I can't be? YOU should be ashamed of yourself.

set up your own fund if you want one too. bursting out jealousy or critically is not going to help gizzy, or others, at all. all we are doing is to hurt the community and animals more. I'm not sure how complaining that I, only me, have been supporting myself and all of my 14+ animals since I was 14 is going to get gizzy and others their treatments. euthanization, maybe.

people are different. not all of people, teenagers or young adults simply understand how lucky they are, afterall living in poverty with a poor parent. and deal with it.

bre, I understand how upset you are - can you just go ahead and try and ask your mother to wake you up for once to make a call for you.. for us, please? sorry I can't help anymore here.

any suspecious questions, should be PM'd to her/him, s/he'll less likely be defensive there then you'll probably get the answer you want. because we all know most posters here, this thread only gets ugly - would post just because "they posted".

don't disappoint me. u_u

Well thank you, Gina. *hugs*

Okay, I vowed to myself I wouldn't say anything, but I just have to say something.

I have been reading all through the posts in regards to this situation.
I've noted that whenever advice or suggestions were given to Bri, there was always one excuse after another, as to why this or that couldn't be done by her.
I don't see any arguments going on at all, just people giving their opinion on what is or is not going on and as far as I'm concerned, people are entitled to their opinions, no matter if we agree with them or not.

I for one, agree with most of what has been said and yes, at times this was getting very confusing. Even if Bri is a heavy sleeper, if she is so darn concerned about her animals, then she should get out of bed and do her part and not expect everyone else to do it for her.

People have gone out of their way to help out and when people voice their opinions, she gets annoyed. To me, that says the truth hurts.

Most of us here on PT would go beyond the call of duty to do what they can for their animals, so when someone starts making one excuse after another, it makes us wonder where that persons priorities are.

Just my opinion people.

Obviously, what you consider "opinion" is much different from what I do. My concern is probably more than any of you seem to think. You all can make your own choices about your pets and their welfare, I can not. Most of my money, the little I make, goes to my pets. I've been to hell and back with my pets, and I've fought my mother many times over my pets. She is the adult, I am the teenager. Her decision rules over mine, and I can't always get my way no matter how much I plead and beg. Take Roxy for instance.

Don't even go accuse me of where my priorities lie. As said, I've been through hell with my animals, and most of my arguments with my mother consist of them.

My priorities are them, and these "excuses" as you call them, are just the truth of what's going on. I don't control my mother, I only control myself, and if I say the slightest thing wrong, another one of these "opinion sessions" as you think they are start.

It's funny how when someone else is having financial trouble you'll rush to their side, but if I start asking for help because my mother won't do anything, you all start "opinionating" like crazy on me, especially when none of you personally know me.

Can't say I am surprised by any of this. This has just been beyond ridiculous from the start and if I was in her shoes I'd be completely ashamed of myself.

It's about being responsible and having your priorities straight. Something this kid is never going to learn, especially if she's getting these handouts.

Amy had to spend $300 something, unplanned, on emergency vet bills while we were there, do you see her asking for handouts? Nope! She may have to give a bit up and save her dollars, but that's the responsibility we obtain when bringing a pet into our homes.

Vela, Amy, Staci, well said as always.


And, there's no reason for anyone to swear, especially some kid.

[sandragonfly]

maybe she wasn't the one who brought roxy, gizzy or others in?

so, will you, bre?

Well, at the times, I asked for more pets, my mother agreed. But, times used to be much better for us, and we used to have a lot more things than we have now. And my animals certainly haven't been suffering from that thanks to me.

I'll try to get my mom to call for me tomorrow, and if she won't I'll see what I can do.

I am going to request this thread be closed if it gets any more out of hand with your "opinions."

People on PT are extraordinarily generous. But this is not a big ATM with free money for anyone who wants it.

We all struggle to afford the costs of pet care. Many PTers have made huge sacrifices for their pets, in money and effort. You seem to think that PT members have some obligation to pay for your pets' vet care, and that's an attitude that's bound to create resentment.

I never said it was a big ATM.

Um, no. You're obviously getting the wrong impressions. I asked for help because there is nothing my mom will do.

I don't feel obligated or am making people feel obligated to help me. If it wasn't for some very kind people and friends I would have left here a long time ago.

And people can resent me all they want, for their hate doesn't matter to me because, as earlier said, they don't even know me.

From everything I have read in all these posts, you have received financial help to take care of Giz. The problem seems to be that you will not, for whatever the reason, follow through with the Vet to get Giz taken care of. Are you willing to make the effort to get up one morning before your mom leaves for work - so you can call the Vet?

Tell your mother to wake you at 10am tomorrow morning. Call the Vet - make arrangements - then go back to bed.

It's my understanding that if this isn't done within a certain time frame, the money will be used for other animals in need. Please don't waste the good will of a few PT posters because you want to sleep late.
