Apologies

[mugsy]

Boo is beautiful Soledad....thanks for sharing. And you are quite the photographer!

[Soledad]

You think so?

People have told me that before, but I've always attributed it to the fact that I have lots of photographer friends. It's probably rubbed off.

Of course, it doesn't hurt when you have a stellar model.

Soledad , being sick lately , I never noticed that thread you mentioned .
But I am so happy to see how you try to get over it!! I am admiring your huge courage !! Please , do never leave PT ! It is my heaven , really! I do not know what I would do without PT and all my friends here!!
Wish we had all the courage you had for this sweet apologies !!

I would also like to apologize if I said anything that hurt anyone's feelings. I tried my best to refrain from hurting feelings, if any of you felt hurt by my posts, I apologize. My intentions were not directed to anyone in particular, just a general discussion. I think I should try to avoid controversial topics from now on as much as I can.

Soledad, I am truely saddened to here people were sending you violent PMs with sexual content. That is just awful. I know that if that happened to me, I would probably end up leaving. I'm glad you are brave enough to stay. I hope you'll stay on PT always because I really enjoy having you here as well as everyone else. I have to admit I know nothing of your kitty, so you definitely need to tell us more about her. She is one of the cutest cats I have ever seen!

Hehehe...Pops, Boo is a boy. You're not the first to think he's a girl. He's pretty, so people assume he's a chick.

Cause everyone knows girls are almost always prettier than boys.

He's very sweet. He runs to greet us when we come home and usually emits a serious of beeps and meows on his way. Then he flops on his back for belly rubbins.

Oops! That proves you haven't told us enough about her...........er.......him. He just looks like a she to me. So cute! People always mistaken my Popcorn to be a girl too. They think he "looks" like a girl. Sorry Boo.

Boo says "apology accepted." He's a little sensitive about being called a girl. He doesn't realise what a compliment that is!

He likes to act tough, but he's the biggest baby ever. So Sam and I always joke that he's really insecure in his masculinity.

thats second pic of Boo is so good, he looks like he's a model! that was a great pose, Boo!
boo-tiful! oops sorry Boo I mean so handsome!

Soledad I think that was so brave of you - I did read the thread referred to and chose to keep out. I just thought two passionate people were getting a bit carried away!

Regarding people sending hateful PM's to you - oh c'mon who ever you are - it's not clever and it's not grown up - desist!

I adore your Boo - he's just soooooo adorable and...........er.......handsome - I wanted to say pretty!!! More pics., would be wonderful.

Nice to know things are forgiven and forgotten - peace reigns - lovely!

I'm so glad things have worked themselves out. Expecially for you and Mugsy. I'd love to know who sent you those PM's. The argument had nothing to do with them, it was between you and Mugsy. Boo is adorable!!!

Soledad, I have a huge amount of admiration for you to be able to publicly post an apology.

I was following that thread and stayed out of it. But I was curious about you and did a search on your posts. I was distressed to see that you rarely posted on the cat side, or dog side for that matter. Thank you for allowing us to see some pictures of Boo (Mr. Beautiful Big Eyes).

If we can all get to know you a bit better through Boo's beautiful eyes, then we will have more respect for other things you have to say.

Everyone is free to have their own opinions, but when things get heated and nasty - I just don't think it belongs on Pet Talk. But that is my own personal opinion.

As for those who had the gall to send you nasty private messages - the little cowards - they should be banned from Pet Talk.

None of them have the courage that you have shown!

Soledad,
Hmmm....well, I admire you greatly for publically apologizing. That takes courage, confidence, and shows strength of character. I know you and I have gone back and forth some over issues, so, I can't say you are the only one to inflame others, I have done the same thing. We are all human (I love it when I make such intelligent statments), and make errors in judgment, if it can even be called that.

I haven't ever known you to be hateful towards animals, or to anyone that expresses concerns over their furkids, so, you can't be all that bad .

So, I think once this thred runs its course...what has happened, has happened, and we all start over!!!!

I do question Boo's, ugh, use of eyeliner...how very retro! He is a beauty. Why did you name him Boo?

[ChrisH]

Soledad, I too admire you for posting your apologies, it took courage to do so. As for the people who sent the nasty PMs to you, I am so disappointed and sad that there are member of Pet Talk who would do such a thing.

Boo, handsome Boo! He is just gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more pics? Please!

Chris

Boo is named Boo because Sam and I couldn't think of anything that wasn't really pretentious and obnoxious. We kept thinking of literary or historical figures, and it was just getting silly. I remember thinking that Boo was so sweet and cute, and I wanted a really affectionate name. Boo had a habit of initially hiding out under the stairs and staring at people from beneath the stairs, scaring our neighbors. So I thought he's a little Boo Radley!

I have taken more pics and will post them as soon as they develop!

Now these are the kind of threads I like to read!! I don't feel threatened and don't feel like I need to defend my country! I am sorry you had to receive hateful PM's. That kind of attacking is not necessary and serves no functional purpose other than to hurt people. Thanks for taking the initiative to get things back on the right track, Soledad! That was a very nice thing to do!

And the added bonus of getting to see your beautiful kitty was icing on the cake!!! I thought he was a girl too! I wonder if you user name SOLEdad is because of those beautiful Soleful looking eyes?
