I guess some of us have long memories. Years ago, there were some trouble makers on the dog side. A lot of us got hurt. A lot of us still avoid dog as much as they can. Its sad too, becuase Callie is a super girl that I'd love to brag about, but I am once bitten and twice shy (so to speak)

And the funny thing? The majority of the troublmakers haven't been seen in ages. I guess my avoidance became habit and now I just can't get comfortable over there.

Edited to add: I just realized I've been here almost 9 years.... and a lot of the drama was from at least 6 or 7 years ago. I know it was still here 4 years ago when Nicki passed, because I considered posting a memorial to her on July 4th (4th year anniversary of her passing) and I decided not to because of interactions from 4 years ago!!! See? Long memory!

Funny thing though about the drama.... it just made me REALLY close to a lot of cat people. I talk to several on a regular basis and know I can always pick up the phone at any time or day and talk to them. I know I wouldn't have carved out those friendships if not for the negativity that was going on at the time.
