you steadily championed TTW against ShielaT - what on earth are you doing here adding to this pile on against me?
I'm not sure what the behind the scenes chatter is here, but none of this is changing the fact that people on DU did want TTW to give Yoshi up to Akita Rescue, TTW read those posts on the forum, right or wrong TTW had tried to avoid the Akita Rescue decision, so therefore she was not "ridiculous" or "paranoid" in her evaluation of the situation - she was over-reacting because the dog was taken to a shelter, and was on it's way to a rescue organization, which is what she had been trying to find an alternative to.
I hate to be arguing with someone who so valiantly tried to help TTW: frankly, you showing up here feels something like what TTW must have felt when she found Yoshi was at the shelter - betrayed and against all expectation. I do wish what little I have to offer were valued by you. I spent half the day trying to fend off ShielaT yesterday. I'm sure now you will say: "Well who asked you - we'd prefer you to take a nap." If you click my sig, you will see I've been as close to TTW's situation as anyone here: I feel that gives me more insight on the resources available than most people here and a bit of insight into TTW's perspective. Even if not one other person respects that, I know that and will do what I can.
Sadly, NO ONE is helping TTW here if, as I understand it, she hasn't contacted anyone. She is out there alone with Yoshi, in a situation that is probably not going to end well. For that we can only pray she contacts moosepoop or someone else she became close to.
EDIT: In looking at another thread, I realize I've actually conflated you with TBlue37. So as much as I wish you wouldn't conflate me with darkangel, I'm not quite as disappointed as I was earlier.
