I have recently come through a particularly difficult situation so perhaps that's why I was so quick to zero in on your "cry for help." I'm also an extreme animal lover and am involved in rescues from dogs to horses.
Anyway, I learned a lot through my ordeal and I'm still "processing" much of it. But the most important thing, I think, is how very HUMBLED I was to learn that no matter how well you lead your life, no matter how much money you saved, no matter how good your choices were... S*** sometimes happens and you can't do a thing about it. It was the kindness of friends and neighbors and people I never even knew that just overwhelmed me.
So don't you worry. Whatever it is you're going through, someone will be there to help you pick up the pieces. Few of us know you personally, but if we can find you good homes for your dogs, it's a small way of helping. Yes?
Someone will step up to the plate and adopt those dogs! We just have to keep at it!
I was responding to your comments about Haliburton - who we were doing business with LONG before the Bush administration.... Clinton included.
And actually, if Bill Clinton had heeded advice and taken Bin Laden out when they had the opportunity to we would have not had 9/11.
But my real point was that we can all sit around and point fingers. Every one of them have made SERIOUS mistakes. What good does it do to sit around rehashing things.
Bush is outta here. WE should be worried about what's coming down the pike, not the stuff that's already been flushed away
If it continues to be an ongoing problem and you just can't talk her down, best to cut your losses. But if YOU are really crazy about her, sit her down for a real heart-to-heart.
I know in the beginning of my relationship with my husband I had a lot of trust issues just from having seen too much as a single woman. I was always "one of the boys" in the workforce so I knew too many of their dirty little secrets.
Long story short.... because he was patient and good, we got past all that fairly quickly. And somehow the fact that he earned my trust kept me from ever wanting to fool around either. So we took a negative and made it into a really good positive.
I think we all sort of suspected your situation was tough. Generally, animal lovers don't part with their pets unless circumstances have hit critical proportions. So consider all this our little way of trying to help without being busy-bodies.
