Ok. Sure.

I agree with LuckyIrish's sentiments in his post, that encouragement for even small steps in the right direction will do the most to help both people and pups involved. I have ALWAYS felt that positive reinforcement goes much further to help in the long run than negative. I do think there are very good, informative posts here that Accord can learn from. I also do think Accord has been overly defensive with some people who are genuinely trying to be kind and helpful in sharing their knowledge. I do agree that Accord should be applauded for the steps she has taken so far to make things better, and for deciding not to breed and that spaying and neutering is best.

I don't think LuckyIrish was trying to offend or demean anyone. I think he is merely encouraging the advisors and the advisee to calmly work together to get these pups in the best situation possible for them. I do realize strong emotions are involved for the welfare of these pups, but if you react from pure anger you will probably end up hurting them, and possibly future pups, more than helping, because an offended and defensive person is not someone very open to learning new ideas. If you just merely get angry, and run her off the board, how does that help the pups?

By "you" I mean no one, and everyone. In other words, I do not mean these words specifically for any one person, but something for every one of us here, including me, to consider.

In closing, Accord I truly do applaud and appreciate the steps you have taken to make sure your pups are getting the best care possible. I realize you are limited in income and resources, and would simply advise you to keep the things many posters here have been saying in mind, and try to get those pups into the best possible situation you can. I do hope you are able to convince the new owners to spay/neuter. I hope you can understand our fears here for them, that is why we feel so strongly about them being fixed. Thank you for considering our words Accord. Truly my best wishes go out to you.

Wow! That's a lot of post.

Guys? I'm sorry that I was being a little defensive. I read the posts and I re thought abt what I did and how I have treated you guys. I'm sorry for cussing and blaming. I do feel upset and trying my best.

I'm glad Dusty joined and help us out. I hope he's not chasing ya'll (teasing and being funny).

Thank you Dusty for helping me out. And I re thought everything I did. I feel a little better. Just hoping the pet talk memebers will forgive me and help me.

Thank you
Accord

I don't see how LuckyIrish did anything wrong.

I think this needs to end right now. I see alot of places it's gone too far. I think the educational part of it started to get a little bit nasty...Everyone is acting out in what they feel is best and that's easy to understand, as I come from the majority's point of view. But enough is enough, and if no one has changed anyone's mind so far, it isn't going to do any good to beat the dead horse. It's dead, let's just let it go. Accord did the right thing by getting the puppy's shots...and the rest everyone can just grin and bear because no one is going to shift. If we want to preach about BYBing and whatnot, why don't we start a new thread? This thread has gone off-topic and frankly it is getting old...I hope someone agrees with me because I'm just tired of the arguing.

Thank you K9Soul

Girls? Should we help Accord? Lets get her some resources! I checked online to see if there was an SPCA in her town, and there isn't, but in Denver, which is a long drive for Accord. I was reading in another post and I dont remember what it was, but something about a Hochie K something Humane Society.(if spelled right, please dont think its bad. Im lousy with remembering things and spelling things. Sorry) I can call them for her and find out the prices and stuff like that.
Trust me, Accord is a sweet girl. She loves those puppies and she would love to have you guys help her. Right Accord?
Accord, I know you are on, I see you on the bottom of the screen where everyone is in and how many people are on. Your friends are here and they will help you every step of the way, please be thankful for them. They will be there for you as I will be there, too.

No one here wanted to attack you or upset you, it's just that we all wanted to make sure you realized that no matter who's puppy it was before... and who was supposed to get the puppy's it's shots... the fact is that once the puppy is in your care, YOU are 100% responsible for it's health and well being. NEVER take anything for granted, always be cautious.

As far as the people buying the puppies and not wanting to get them spayed because it will hurt them. That is NOT acceptable nor is it responsible of you. If you want(ed) to do the right thing, you would have them neutered/spayed before they left your home. No two ways around it.

We all care about animals so much, that it's easy for us to see the errors of others ways, and sometimes its the first time those people realize what they are doing is wrong.
We want to help you learn to be more of a responsible pet owner, the world needs more!!!

Thats My Girl! Ok, Im going to call them right now. And I'll the information on here for you so you can check it out later when ever you get off work.
Calling . . . Ringing 1 . . . 2 . . . (yay got an answer) Collecting information and writing it down Hang on Girls :-D
Ok heres the information. They do spay/neuter puppies, BUT they have to be 3 months old. The prices PER puppy by weight is about $55.00 The lady asked me if they had their shots, and told her yes. And told her that Accord has proof, and she says its perfect. So Accord, on June 6th, the puppies are ready to have themself spayed/neutered. They also said they can give Rabies shots the same time which is 10 bucks each.
Save money! Plus thats a lot of money. Talk to the buys ok? Let me add up the price all together, a rough estimate.
:: Adding ::
Total Rough Estimate is: $195.00


(Your puppy, Bailey, your friend's puppy, and other friend's puppy)
Accord left an email and told me that the boy puppy is for sale. Any one want it?! Moo-moo is his name. Male, white with black cow spots on it, and here's the cool part, He has a little black heart on the left hand side of his side. Let me attach the picture from my computer. Done. Ill have Accord attach more pictures of him if you guys want him.
I am going to have some lunch. Thank god today is my day off. So Im havin fun

ok, am I the only one thinking *someone* is making multiple screen names???? maybe I'm just overly annoyed right now, but this is what I'm thinking now...

I was thinking the exact same thing! The writing and talk sound very similar. First it was Johnny 5 (how original) and now it's Dusty (why that wonderful name?). Personally, this thread has caused enough grief on Pet Talk. Perhaps if we all ignore it, it will stop. We obviously have said enough to convince her and now she has to make the choice, which she said she did.

Well said. I had exactly the same thought.

What they said

[Daisy and Delilah]

[LuckyIrish]

Johnny 5 is Accord's husband. Does he have a user name on here too?

[LuckyIrish]

Plus common sense, how would you ladies think that Accord have the screen names on at the same time if Im on? Ladies, you saw her and me on at the same time. So how would that be different? I dont understand?
