Shelley and the GSD Underground Railroad #2 - Page 12

Glad to hear that things are in the works!  Good for you!
I hope everything continues to go well.

Shelly I am so glad you are more relaxed, it that what life is about. We were not brought into this world to be unhappy.
Winter is around the corner, please stay warm, are you gaining some weight back?
Always,
Cee

Keep us updated girl!  We all care deeply about what you are going through and want to see you come through smiling & happy happy happy!

Now why wouldn't you want to stay in that part of the country where you are now?  It's BEAUTIFUL, right?  Change of seasons, gorgeous countryside, beautiful Fall foliage, wonderful GSD people - what's not to like????

Gotta keep this on the front page!  Inquiring minds want to know...hows it going and wishing you nothing but good thoughts.

Awesome. Give someone a new puppy while they (seemingly) have no means to support it. Seems silly, but what do I know?

Hey, Shelley's a survivor. She's got her dogs, & now a pocket shepherd to boot! Congratulations! If you knew Shelley, you'd know that all her dogs will always be well cared for, because they are her first priority, above even her own comfort & safety. Any dog given to Shelley will have a long, comfortable, & possibly illustrious life! Best Wishes, jackie harris

I did  not say she doesn't care for her dogs. But, care also goes past food and attention, and if someone has no means (begging for funds and dog food on a message board doesn't count) to afford their care if something goes wrong, then why add another to the bunch? On top of that, why bring another into your family when your life is so unstable and you do not know where you will be or what you will be doing in 6 months. I would be making this logical thought no matter who it was, this is not an attack on Shelley herself.

I will post the estimated cost of supporting a 3 lb (at maturity) Chihuahua as soon as I figure out how many TABLESPOONS of food are in a bag.  I am told Xena will devour up to 4 Tbls. a day when she grows up.

...and no, Autobahn, I have not been at Molly's the whole time. I have been in 8 states since July 10, and expect to be in 8 more before winter.

...and no, Autobahn, I did not beg for anything on a messageboard, nor did I put anyone else up to it.
Further, I do not plan to be destitute for the rest of the year, let alone the rest of my life. Depending on exactly what "goes wrong" most pet owners might be hard pressed to cover the expense to treat a beloved animal. Should they not have them?

...and WHO TOLD YOU I don't know where I will be or what I will be doing in 6 months? It sure wasn't me. Do you really suppose I might be living in a refrigerator box under some bridge by then, surviving dogs tied to a shopping cart while I do my daily dumpster diving? Don't count on that. Just because I am quiet lately doesn't mean I'm hiding under a rock waiting for space to open up in the downtown mission. Far from it.

If you don't like me for some reason, please go away. Even the lowest human being deserves the preservation of some measure of dignity.

To the rest of my friends reading this, thanks so much for caring. I was a  ill last week, but better now (touch of flu???) except for being a bit tired yet. I am in a much better frame of mind than I have been in for a very long time, VERY eager to get the things I have to get done here in the East  DONE, so I can focus all my energy on building a new life. :-))) 

Despite the tough times behind, and doubtless yet ahead, I will never regret having fled that abusive enviroment!
One of my more important goals is to get back into a position where I can help others, human and animal, as I could and did in the past. I'm probably all out of "paid forward" by now, excited and curious about how I am going to refill that account into the future.
