Oh Great! ALL the "Donation to Roxyluvsme13" threads have been DELETED!

[shais_mom]

Which is why I never gave any money. This one just didn't feel right.

I'm only as far as your post right now so forgive me -
but Val - I know you and I don't see eyeball to eyeball often but on this -
I'm in 1000000000000% agreement....

LMAO! We agree on more than you think.

we do!? swwweeet!

this whole thing is ridicolous.

I'm not entirely sure what you think is ridiculous? The fact that this thread is happening at all or the fact that Bri thinks she is entitled to Pet Talk's money..


I certainly understand putting forth your money towards bills and debt. - I'm a single person myself - we are not all heartless and silly headed as you think we are Catty- But the fact of the matter is if her mom refuses to allow what little money BOTH of them make - for their pets -
then they should NOT have them. I don't tell people to rehome their pets lightly - believe me - I only suggest it when I think it is needed. And I think in this case it is better for the pets.
As I stated in the previous thread - I thought we've gotten our chain yanked from the beginning and warning signs hit me full in the face - like a Nuclear bomb - where when the Previous Pom (in her avatar) needed vet care and her mom didn't have the money to take her and she died- and then like 3 months later they have the hundreds of dollars it takes to buy another one. Everytime I mention this Bri throws it in my face saying I have no right to mention it - well Yes I do - she made it public knowledge as she's made most (not all) of her life over the last 2 years. So its fair game. And the fact that she brags or thinks it is funny that they are on food stamps and they are using food stamps to pay to feed Roxey.
in my almost 7 years here on Pet Talk and in alllll the time that I have donated my money to worthy people - not ONCE - NOT ONCE - has that person that I sent the money too been the one that asked for it.
Ever.
So the fact that she thinks that Pet Talk is her own personal bank and that she is entitled to the good people here that DID donate to her - to their money - just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And has since this whole thing started.

Well I always thought those hundreds for both poms...I think its about 900 for both of them should have went to a 400 dollar enclosure for roxy so she would not have to live on a chain. That was shot down because it wasn't their house, its just excuse after excuse.

I feel like I know luvofallhorses pretty well and I don't think she thinks the people that are being critical are ridiculous, that is just my opinion because her and I seem to agree on so much.

But at least we have done good, in helping Bri convince her mother - and remember, she worked very hard doing that - that Roxy could be - and now is, happily, an inside doggie!

This irritates me to no end...I had over $900 in unexpected expenses this month (and I make $1200 a month) and I still managed to get Jasper in to the vet when he needed it....exam, booster vaccinations, license renewal...total=$150. More than it costs to get an animal sterilized. Without scamming people for money.

What's going to happen if one of the unspayed dogs gets a pyometra? That's a $2,000 or more surgery that could be prevented with a $100 spay. Will they just be PTS?

Staci,

caseysmom is right. I meant the whole thing is ridicolous. Bri asking for money when she bought expensive things that she could have used towards Skye and Lily being spayed among getting shots, check ups, etc. I assume that Skye and Lily aren't spayed, right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
It would be horrible if Skye or Lily snuck out and got pregnant.

Bri,

I know you're young and all but you need to find a way atleast babysit or petsit, walk dogs, etc. to earn money if your mom won't spay or get proper vet care for your animals. even if you get allowance save it up so they can be spayed and get shots and check ups.

you should always have an emergency savings accounts for things if one of your pets got into something toxic, blocked from eating a bone, etc. have your mom get one, it is very important and a lot of vets atleast the vets where I live will do a payment plan. please look into that.

Ok, I just read through the link posted to cat general.

I think it is sad, and nothing more.

I refuse to help people who don't help themselves.

thanks Krista - I was just confused.

I agree wholeheartedly with Joh.
Catty - your attempts at helping the less fortunate are definately noble and nothing to sneeze at. BUT I think that your actions are misguided when it comes to some issues here. I think you'd be far better off - finding people in your own area that you can actually SEE attempting at improving their lives - b/c its certainly seems that Bri and her mom may be trying - but it is 2 steps forward 4 steps back.

I hope that didn't come off as a rude question b/c I didn't intend for it to sound that way -

[caseysmom]

I don't think it did.

[shais_mom]

I don't think it did.

thank you
