Ive been quiet about this for too long....

[drmom777]

Dont worry doberluv. I am taking in all that you have said. I AM picking the positive parts out. I've been here long enough to know which members posts to ignore and which ones I need to read.

I dont regret making this thread. It has helped me have some closure.

I am glad you think it helped you. I had assumed you had started it to make yourself feel better. And to try to justify your actions at the time.

I continue to maintain that the best thing is to just move on.

 

[Squishy22]

It's what I was thinking Reggin... so I'm not sure the outcome would have been different either way.

I dont think it would have been, fran. If reggin was transported and became aggressive just like at the shelter, the same ending would have happened.

Doberluv, you have made this thread worthwhile. Thanks for the wise words.

No need to make myself feel better. I've been moving on for some time now.

I've got to ask reggin, What makes you think I didn't like you before Reggin was taken to the shelter?

 

[Zoom]

I think this entire thread needs to just die off. Nothing that is going to be said can change what happened and it's only going to cause more strife and drama and this forum has had enough of that related to this situation to last a lifetime.

We've gone quite some time with a minimum of drama. It was nice. Let's get back to that.

 

[Squishy22]

As my last post I want to say THANKS to those who offered help with reggin. THANKS to those who have the ability to put yourself in anothers shoes.

I've read the posts that really matter and I've taken it all to heart. This is a lesson learned for me.

I have moved on and continue to do so.

That is all.

 

[Doberluv]

But Zoom....I think using the term, "drama" diminishes and sort of de-values the importance or invalidates something that is painful and serious to the person whose life is most affected by all this. It's more than drama. It may wind up being dramatic and conspicuous but it's so, so much more. No one is slinging violent words and no one is really attacking Reggin. At least I don't perceive that. It's something that probably needed to be vented and I'm sure it will die down and level off on it's own when the time is right.

I'm glad you're progressing Reggin. I know you'll grow and everything will be better in the future.

THings tend to work their way out in time. So why don't we close this here. What people felt they needed to say has been said.

Perhaps, but at least it wouldn't have been in a shelter, it would have been at the hands of someone that cared...and that's the biggest thing I have the problem with, you let strangers euthanize your dog, you gave him up, you allowed it to happen. If you felt he would be that aggressive toward someone else and that another home couldn't be suitable, you would have done better to hold him in your arms and show some compassion as he slipped away. THAT is what love is about, knowing when to let go.

If you're back with your ex, then you are letting the past repeat itself. I noticed you avoided that where people asked so, since you're making assumptions that people already didn't like you, I'll make the assumption you took him back. Just remember, as someone else posted, your dog died for your freedom, to escape that loser...and if you're putting yourself back into that situation then you have learned absolutely nothing from the whole situation.

With that being said, I hope for your childrens sake you have left the loser permanently - they are the priority and if you can't do that for them, little people who unconditionally love you, then who can you do it for.

I'm done.

But wait! But wait! There's just one more thing. *Columbo*:rofl1:

Anybody remember Columbo? Cigar, trenchcoat...

That is just perfectly said.:hail:

First, I would like to say that I am not upset over any of the replies in this thread. I ASSUMED that the some members who did not like me BEFORE the reggin thing happened, would still not like me. It just gives them more of a reason to hate me. Merico never liked me before. Island dog and scob never did. So its no surprise that they are still on the attack.

I said I made some mistakes. My children came first. People like sparks, who have children, can relate. No, I did not have a reliable source of internet. I had to walk 2 miles 8 months pregnant to get internet... in the freezing cold and pouring rain. Those from the northwest know what I mean. I can tell you this much, as soon as romy offered to be a transport I was down at that shelter to get him out... they were closed so I had to wait till the next day but it was too late.

I am done and over this drama. I said my piece because I havent said anything since it happened and it keeps coming up. That is all.

I know who my friends are here. And I've added a few members to my ignore list.

If something bad happens to my family or any of my pets, I can assure you that it wont be made publicly and I'd advise the rest to do the same. Lesson learned.

I don't know where you get that I didn't like you. I was one of those that offered to kick in $100. towards getting Reggin to a safe place. I have also not attacked you in this thread - I pointed out the obvious changes of the facts from what you originally stated.

I am going to address this post right here since things seem to be going pretty civil at the time being.

Like I said before. I gave him up to a shelter I believed would HELP him. Sorry for believing what they told me. They said from their very own mouths that I should bring him down because he would find him a home in NO TIME. Foolishly I believed that. I felt like I had run out of choices.

I had no idea that transports would be made here at chaz to help him especially soon enough. I was on a time limit and had to get him out of there or else. There were drug dealers going in and out of that house constantly. No place for him to be. The landlords told us we had to be OUT. Reggin had to be out. Unfortunately when I did go down to get him out of there, after a transport was made available, it was too late.

If I didnt care what would happen to him, then why would I make the effort to go down there to try and get him back. There is no logic there.

I can go over this a million times, but it will do no good.

Are you saying there was a transport made and available BEFORE he was taken to the shelter? That is not the case, island dog. Romy was the closest person and she was out of the state at the time.

 

[Zhucca]

What? A transport was being organized and you were aware of it before your mom dropped him off at a shelter, considering you were replying to the thread all through Monday, Tuesday, and then on Wednesday said "oh, sorry nevermind, dropped him off at a shelter."

 

[Renee750il]

She's right, ID. Romy was out of state at the time. Smexy was on stand-by to take him in, and you guys know what kind of awful situation SHE lives in. Everything was extremely touch and go. We were in phone contact with each other (Romy and I) even after the surrender, trying to find someone to go pull him from PAWS. We were trying to find rescues to pull him for us. PAWS lied to all of us about his status.

There's no reason to rehash and dredge all of the circumstances back up again. It was a horrible time for everyone involved, especially Chrys, Madison, Reggin and those of us who were trying to make heads or tails out of all the different stories PAWS was giving out. Time to drop it.

Again, I would have LOVED to keep him for a week while arrangements were being made, but I was on a TIME LIMIT. He simply had no place to go.

 

[Doberluv]

Reggin...you don't have to go over it a million times. You really don't owe anyone anymore explanations and you don't have to keep defending yourself. Do you really think that what everyone thinks here is that significant to your own self esteem? Or that trying to persuade them to see from your view is going to cause you to go in a better direction? It may seem like that. But in reality, it is what you think, what you know, what you know your circumstances were at the time. Your well being and the future well being of your children and any present or future dogs does not depend on what other people think or what they think they would have done under exactly the same circumstances with exactly the same things you have woven into your life's history. They aren't the issue and explaining to other people too much isn't going to move you forward. You learned something. You know who you are and now it's time to love yourself and make the best choices you can for the best outcome possible in your life.
