Seriously folks? Really? Do we STILL not "get it"??? Rescue is about DOGS.. it's not about people, thank you's, pats on the back, name calling, egos, who's top banana.. .it's about the D-O-G-S!!!! Anything more than that is BS... I still have no idea what is going on in this world.. all I know is everyone is on edge, snippy, argumentative, etc... even in my own family.
Life is TOO short to be continuing this way... focus on what is important.. if you want to be involved in rescue.. then get your rewards from the look in the eyes of the dogs you help.. whether by fostering, donating time, money, transporting, prayers.. in whatever way you are able to help out. Anyone involved in rescue is VERY grateful for the volunteers and supporters they have.. but everyone also has their own lives, their own jobs, their own family drama on top of rescue.. so let's give each other a little break - a little space.. and a little consideration.
And maybe.. just maybe - keep "business" disagreements OFF social networks... all that does is cause more problems for everyone... even those not involved directly. You have NO idea who is reading and making assumptions about what you are saying.
And take it from me... those that call you friend - may not necessarily BE a friend. A friend will stand by you through thick and thin.. disagreements, arguments, etc.. but in the end.. they support you.. because they are a friend.. not PERFECT by any means.. but caring. We ALL make mistakes.. I just wish that we were all capable of admitting when we are wrong and big enough to say "I'm sorry" and MEAN it... no lip service.. nothing more than a genuine "sorry"... "forgive me and I'll try to do better" but also understand that my life may not be going so well right now either.. and I could use a little understanding myself.
Put your own names in where they are applicable.
I remain as always.. in a quandary as to why we are fighting so much amongst ourselves.

I would like to know that, too. Why people within a Rescue organization have to fight and be so nasty to volunteers in their own group? I will never understand it. I do what I do for the dogs....not for ANY people. I just can only take so much abuse from people. Since this is still America (I think), individuals are allowed to express their own feelings on their own FB page. They should not be subjected to others telling them what they can say. When people get too nasty, I just delete them.
ReplyDeleteThis is America.. and people are entitled to speak their minds and their feelings.. I just don't think a social network is the place to air "dirty laundry"... that is just my opinion.. too many take things out of context that can effect others.. especially the dogs.. if people see inward squabbling going on, they are less apt to "help" rescues.. any rescue.. because they do NOT know exactly what is really going on and that in turn hurts dogs... not acceptable in my mind. Again.. JMO
ReplyDeleteSome people in rescue live for the drama..drama of talking and spreading tells they have no proof as being true..Some people no matter how hard you try, you can not please them..it is very sad..sad for the dogs..
