I'm personally one that never saw the post that you sound like you were talking about but I wouldn't label you if I had. I really doubt that people here on Pet Talk could take joy out of something that it sounds like your thread has to deal with because so many of us love our animals as I'm sure you do. I'm sorry that you feel so stressed our right now, but that schedule is a crazy overloaded one. I agree with everybody when they say that you should just take a break from PT right now. But please, please, don't stop posting all together because we will miss you. I'm sure you're a great person. I'm sorry that people took your post the wrong way, but please don't punish those of us who didn't and those of us who never even read that single post. We enjoy your conversations and would really like to hear more about what you have to say on different topics. If you do choose never to post again, I respect that! But please don't leave thinking that we all thought you were cruel to animals. Because I can honestly tell you that I've never thought that way about anybody from any posts that I've seen on here!
