I hope you are sober now. I know I was a bad person to own a pet while I was drinking even if I meant well.
Good luck and I hope the dog gets better.

Again, if one of y'all ladies wants to flame me, my inbox is open. We can discuss pet ownership rationally, as adults. Y'all better come up with a good excuse for being mad at me RESCUING a dog from a KILL shelter though.

Guys,
This is the Newcomers forum.
It's meant to be a safe and welcoming place where people can talk candidly, but without fear or aggression.
If we all can't be civil and non threatening towards each other, I'll not hesitate to shut the thread down.

My post was to everyone, including you dunkelheit.
All that 'any of you ladies' stuff and 'PM me if you're pissed' is what I call 'a come at me bro' approach - and it invites a similar response in return.
That's called flame baiting and it's against our rules.
I would have preferred not to have to explain myself again, but there ya go.
If posters are making you mad, use the ignore function, or report the post.

I don't see why discussing an issue privately would be a problem. If people have concerns, then by all means, let's discuss those concerns.
I'm reading every post that doesn't get deleted by moderators. I want to see those critical posts too.

You now want to discuss nothing but a dog you have had for 2 days. Do you not see the disconnect? We cannot help you if you ignore the problem.
