Need To Say Something.

Aly, no I am not throwing my animals out like I don't care for them. My gosh if you only knew how much I loved them. But no you think "oh, she doesn't care!"

You are very wrong, wrong,wrong!!

My husband is not a animal loving person like you or I. He could have cared less if we ever had any pets. But yet he went with me to adopt this puppy? So he is bad also?

Ok, now THIS will be my last thing said for real.

I have never said you were a bad person and that you don't care. In one of the Jake threads, I pointed out that I know you do love animals. I just think you have some major problems that are clouding your judgement and reasoning abilities. I guess that is why I always comment. Because I know you are smart enough to realize what you are doing. You can't help being depressed and I hope that you get everything worked out. I DON'T think you are bad, mean, evil, etc. Unfortunately a lot of innocent lives are getting involved in all of this.

I don't understand the reference to your husband. I don't know enough about him, except that he has made you rehome some cats in the past because he's not a cat person. I never called him bad though.

You can't see it and no matter what anyone here says, you never will.

God help these poor confused animals.

I hope you find the love (or whatever it is) that you're looking for and stop this. The worst part is that you're doing a horrible thing not only to the animals, but you're teaching your kids a horrible lesson: If it doesn't work out, don't put forth the effort to make it work, replace it with one that might. Not a good lesson to teach, and you're teaching it again and again and again.

I'm done. You don't even want to understand or see it.

Very well said Micki and Aly.

Can't answer the other questions here but has time to make a thread in other general.

Well Tina, since you blocked all PM's, I'll just respond to your PM here:

We all are here because we love our animals, including you!!
It's just that sometimes it's easier to see what's going on somewhere from the outside looking in.
What you think you are doing is one thing in your mind, but we all see it another way. You think you're ready for another dog, you get one, and realize it was not the right time, so you find it another home, then you get another one... the cycle is just going to keep going on and on.
All we want you to do is take a few weeks and not adopt any animals, and enjoy the animals you have now!!

They all need you and they all love you!

I have been sitting here trying to think of what to say. The whole thing is just sad. I feel bad for you Tina because I honestly dont think that you are happy with in yourself so you are looking for a way to chase down that happiness. Kind of like a drug addict going after that next high. Hmmmm I really do wonder if what you are doing is some sort of an addiction!?!

I wish so much that the dogs that you already have gave you the happiness that you seem to want. I know the two dogs that I have bring me all the happiness and joy in the world. There were some pit bull boxer pups in our paper and it took everything in me NOT to call on them but I know now is not the right time for us to add another dog to our family. Why aren't the dogs you already have enough for you? I just dont understand that. Maybe you can explain it to all of us.

[Denyce]

So Tina...is it the Greenbrier County Humane Society at 122 N Court St, Lewisburg, WV 304-645-4775 that you are adopting this dog from?

[Tina]

No, I don't think it is any of your buisness anyways.

I'm adopting from a shelter in Virginia.

Tina!I cant wait to see pictures.I just hope that you can keep him this time.and im happy that your rescuing!

If I'm one that offended you, please specify so I can explain further. Maybe you haven't seen how many times this has happened. It is really hard to look the other way in these situations when we care so much about animals.

Man, why do I keep talking when I keep promising I'll shut up

[dukedogsmom]

Someone that's new here doesn't know what's been going on and really shouldn't be making statements about the rest of us. Also, those of you that offer support to her each time this happens just makes it easier for her to continue the cycle. It's called being an enabler.

guess i shouldnt have said anything im not going to read this thread anymore...

edit-
Im sorry,i dont know about her past and shouldnt have said anything.I looked through some of her past threads,and im starting to realize what she's doing.Im sorry if i judged youAt first,i didnt really realize what she's doing,just b/c i dont know her past that well.

Tina, I hope you might reconsider this decision. I don't really have any thoughts to add except that I still believe strongly in what I wrote in my last post regarding Jake and you. I do think perhaps that fostering would be a lot of emotional strain on you, and there's nothing wrong with deciding it's too much for you to handle. I know that one counseling session isn't going to make you immediately stronger and able to handle what you're going through. My honest and best advice would be to give things more time, go to more counseling, and wait to add another family member until you are really stable emotionally and financially. Perhaps you could at least meet with your counselor again and talk things over before making the final decision?

I still think you'd get so much out of doing something with one of your older pups. Ginger seems so sweet with people, perhaps she would make a good therapy dog? I think you'd get so much out of taking one of the pups to brighten the days of the sick and lonely, I know I got a lot out of it when I did it with my collies. Perhaps it'd be something to look into.

If you have questions, or need to talk, you are always welcome PM me. Above all, try to be true to yourself and honest with yourself. That is what matters most.

I may be new to this saga, but why would you keep purposely creating threads like this when you know you are going to get hostile responses?
Do you want people to feel sorry for you or do you just want to argue?
I'm sorry that you lost your house Tina, but if you couldn't keep your own previous pets because of that, why do you keep acquiring more only to turn around and get rid of them? From the threads you posted when you got Jake, it didn't look like you intended to foster him, but to keep him and then you give him up because you wanted him to have better life than you could provide. That's not how "fostering" works.
Instead of getting defensive and quickly answering back to everyone's responses, read through them and take them to heart. Everyone here is on the outside looking in and they see what you may not. Try trusting what they trying to say because they apparently care about you and the animals. Take care of the pets you have now, they need you, not another puppy to stress them out. There are other ways to help animals than bringing them all home.

congrats on your new pup and I really mean it

everyone else, would you rather her get a new dog and say nothing then when she goes to post pics of her new baby guess what will happen... eveyone will start yelling and screaming at her saying she is a terrable person etc.. and dont even think of denying it. if you guys hink she is posting just to justify it, well on this board people make you feel like you have to have a reason for everything, for example I always feel like I have to have an exuse for everything on this board.

[Lexi_Lover]

Congrats on your new pup! I can't wait to see pics! You can PM them to me if you like.

Could you please allow PM or e-mail to come through, I would really like to tell you something!
