"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[wendysue1853]

Well to be fair, noone HAS to donate , if they do so they do so out of their goodness of their heart. The lady that wanted to do the work at her clinic was more then generous but realistically if she could do that, she would have the funds to just get it done herself where she is. So, I think to question her motives is a little unfair. Also, I would not want to send my pet away from me out of state to have it done either, out of county maybe, out of state , no.

Bri - what will you and Suki Wingy be selling? That sounds interesting. Is it some of your POTC stuff, and other things? I know that might sound awful - but if it is worth a fair bit, then you wouldn't have to sell all of it, maybe just a few pieces.

And if you don't mind me posting...Bri has an application form for the low cost spay and neuter in her city. Thing is, it's doubtful they would accept a form from someone her age. Bri - do you think your mom would sign it?

I've emailed the S&N clinic anyway. Their prices are good, and they take PayPal for adoptions.

I've been away - so just want to confirm if there are enough funds for Gizzy, and if her appointment has been made. If Giz can be taken care of, then the rest is not so overwhelming.

I commend Bri for trying to do something to make some of the money.

I've confirmed with Linda the last two times that I called that there is only $60.00 so far. ONE check. That is yours. The others must be in transit, but I don't count money before it's actually received.

Erm, not sure what we're going to sell. I know she said she was working on a Pit Bull design and I put some of my artwork on a Pirate shirt.

I'm calling tomorrow to get more information from Robinson's, and I don't know if my mom will sign the form or not.

Have you never forged your mom's siggy?! LOL!

I was queen of that one in high school. Academic failure notices? If i couldn't do it good enough we paid the one girl at roller skating to do it for us for $2.00

To me, you do what you gotta do to get it done. If mom doesn't ask what was required, then just sign the form for her and let it go at that. Not the best way to go, but if it came to that, I'd do it so it could get done.

lmao.

I forged it once in Kindergarten . I did a pretty decent job too. My teacher didn't notice.

I'll get her to sign the form somehow. If we go in the option of that clinic.

Wow, I cannot believe you just gave that advise to a 14 year old.

Neither can I. Talk about contributing to the delinquency . . . . . . .

I got tired of reading this saga at page 14. Of understand BOTH sides of the debate (amazing, huh? )

First, let me shed some light on mom's feelings, since I was there last year. She is most likely feeling that they are constantly having their electricity cut off and rent late and no food on the table.... yet her daughter is harassing her about vet care. I myself would explode on my kids too if they were asking for money I just didn't have, even if they needed the money for a valid reason! There are priorities she has a mother, first being provide basic needs of shelter and food. It sounds like mom is having a very hard time of providing those basics right now. I am certainly not condemning because I was there! I've been employed for 6 months now and only now catching up with bills - and thats only basic bills (with a few Pouncer emergencies tossed in ) I know exactly how overwhelmed mom is feeling. I also think its quite possible that this donation thing is insulting her and making her feel like she's a total failure because her daughter is now accepting donations from complete strangers. Think about it: her attitude towards this has been bad. It could be because she's hurt and ashamed that people are doing something for her daughter that she cannot do herself.

Oh, and speaking of Pouncer.... if he got sick BEFORE I got a job? I don't want to think of what might have happened. Truthfully, I'd have gotten the rescue to take him back and pay for him. I'm sure they'd give him back to me and them I'd repay them $10 at a time for a looong time. But Bri obviously doesn't have that luxury.


I would write more on my wonderful opinions but I have to go to the hospital for blood tests (ugh)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Miss Z -as much as I applaud and admire the defence of your friend we are not mind readers so we can only respond and react to how we are treated on the board ourselves. It isn't all one sided you know.

Granted we may have been too "forceful" with some advice and opinions and there are some who are here simply to stir things up, but the majority of the posts are out of genuine concern for Bri and her situation.

How is Gizzy, by the way. She seems to have been forgotten in all this

[sandragonfly]

my. how about some humors since this is already out of hands? heard of "LOL"?? good lord, I never took that seriously, and as far as my concern was, neither did briana too.

also, what IF she is/was being abused? and along all they have is each other? that, none of site or my business of course but something to think about too.

this is pet talk - back to gizzy, pets, animals, creatures, beseech you people!

[K9soul]

Pops made some good points. And I also feel it is wrong to "trash" a young person's parents to her, no matter what. We do not know these people personally or what all is going on in their lives. We only have Bri's perspective and our own assumptions here. A younger person's perspective can be quite different from a parent's. There was a time when I was younger I would have considered some of my mom's actions as cold-hearted and mean, but now I know a lot more about what was going on with her and why it seemed that way. She loved me very much, and I'm sure Bri's mother loves her too.
