"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[Roxyluvsme13]

If you cant go without your mom, you cant go with Gizzie, so stop posting that you will.

And why don't you just butt out of my life? You couldn't even afford a water bottle for your gerbil.

I don't understand you.You want people to help you and then you don't want anyone to help you.This whole thread is just nothing but fights.*sigh*That's not fair to say that to Reggie you have no right to say anything to him about his gerbil when you can't even get your pets sprayed and shots without the some wonderful people setting you up a fund.Right now you need to think what is right for your pets no matter how much you love them.It might be best to rehome Gizzie.I know it would be horriable.I had to rehome my baby birdie Emmy Lou.It still makes me sad to think about it.But I did what I had to do and I know that it was best to rehome her because of the move.I love her so much and miss her tons.But I know Kari is taking good care of her.

People I think everyone needs to chill out here. All this is ridiculous beyond words. Everyone seems to be losing sight of the real purpose...the pets. I can see where Bri is coming from wanting to know in advance that an appointment was being made on her behalf. With all honesty if someone did that for me without letting me know first then I would be upset too. Of course that is no offence to Gina I know she was being very helpful and I do commend her for her efforts. I also see how people got upset by Bri being upset cause this has been ongoing and back and forth for so long. But all this screaming and bashing and putting down is completely outrageous.

This thing with Bri and her mom and leaving if her mom tried to rehome her pets...why don't we think about this for a second. I simply think Bri is trying to let you all know how much her animals mean to her. They are her life. Please understand this. I know more about this situation than anyone else here. Bri would be lost without them. The stress on this 14 year old girl is overwhelming. Most adults would crack. But what Bri is trying to tell you all is she would rather leave than lose her pets but she knows that is not possible as she has no where else to go. She loves her mom despite all her flaws and all the things she has done. But her pets are her lifeline right now and what is keeping her sane so to speak.

You know I think everyone needs to step back and take a deep breath and calm down. And another thing before we post from now on please read and re-read your post first. Put yourself in the other persons shoes and ask yourself how you would feel hearing these things. Also if you are angry DO NOT POST walk away and calm down first then come back and calmly post what you have to say without bashing and considering the fact you don't know everything and that there is another persons feelings to consider.


I have found lately PT is like a volcano ready to errupt. I don't know what is wrong with everyone but this really has got to stop. All the fighting and arguments...the bad feelings and bad attitudes. What happened to this community? This used to be such a wonderful caring compassionate place. It is still a wonderful place with some amazing people but MY GOD it has changed. I hope everyone can take a step back and relax...calm down and consider others before blowing their stack or going off the deep end on them. It makes PT a very hostile place sometimes. Let's try to keep this the wonderful community is has always been.


Thanks
Michelle

What are you talking about?

[Hellow]

I mean when people bash other people it mostly comes from all of the new people.

That is not always true. And in the case of this thread in particular definately not true. You are the newest person to post in this thread the other members have been here quite some time. And my point is this: New Member...Old Member...it doesn't matter the bashing and all this angry has to stop. People new and old need to step back and take a deep breath before posting and saying something that is not called for.

are you kidding?
You've been here less than a MONTH - I've been here 6 years!!!
You have noooooooo idea what this board is capable of. Good and unfortunately bad.

lbaker You have time and energy to set up a cafe press shop but can't find a phone to call to arrange vet time? What excuse will yet another "tomorrow" bring oh sigh, I'm so sorry to keep getting sucked in but it's so absurd it's almost addicting to this trauma/drama soap opera

Yeah, but, ONLY if you like re-runs. This isn't even last season's news. This is like watching THREE seasons ago news.

Gizzy. Gizzy. Gizzy. The Animals. Please, Folks.

Let's get the pets helped, please, and get them to a clinic.

Bri's mom - those of us who are helping are doing it from our hearts. If you are feeling bad, please don't. We help one another here all the time, because we do care.

I had hard times for a long time...and then one day, I was able to pay it forward, which I am doing now.

Take care.

I could not agree more. It is my understanding that as far as we know none of the animals are sick (although since they do not receive veterinary care, I guess we really cannot be sure of that). What they are trying to do is get together enough money for someone who has collected four animals without having enough income to do anything other than feed them, so that she can take them to the vet to be spayed. I believe this all started in an attempt to correct a behavioral problem which may well have developed from the stress in the household. Somewhere along the line this child has convinced some well meaning people that it is in the best interest of everyone to pay for everything she has been unable to do while continuing to adopt additional animals and ask for more (a bird). I think that about sums it up.
I personally think the animals should be placed in homes where they can receive the care they need. That would also free up money in the household to pay the electric bill, but I am sure that I will be considered cold or unfeeling or mean to suggest such an alternative.
