Well I
am NOT about to attack you,Lene, as a matter of fact I'm glad you acknowldged
this...and tactfully. I could not wrap my brain around it enough to say anything
sooner.. I think over the last months most of us who have been here, are
quite familiar with Newman! I personally look forward to hearing about him,and
his family. "I" would never have assumed just from what I read that ANYTHING
other than love and commitment was ever an issue here and I would invite Jess to
peruse the archives and get a better picture. Humour is something we all have
used here , it helps us get thru difficult times and I think (in this case) the
humour is inevitable. I don't think the comment from Jess "you really
shouldn't have a pet if you can't take care of it" was at all called
for....IMO , "Newman's Mom' is bieng responsible , and OBVIOUSLY
prepared to do what she can, clearly evident with all the inquiries, she
has posted . I agree wholeheartedly that owner resposibility goes further , than
just the spay/neuter certificate. Everyone's circumstances are
different...thankfully with the insight and wisdom of all the people on the
lists we all work together, helping to teach, coach ,and comfort each other,
and kindly offer direction that may help.. Sorry, but I also
believe that some posts should be sent privately, to avoid hurt feelings and
misunderstandings.
