ok, while I initially reacted (mistakenly) to a similar remark to someone else...
you just did it again, here.
"trust me"
"don't believe me?"
what's up with that, yo?
if me being here to occassionally voice my reaction to some of the stuff that is said is drama inspiring...
so be it.
I have very little faith in any boat that can't take a little rocking.

A while back I wrote to one of my aunts because I was very upset about the fact that I wanted to help a rescued dog but the dog was extremely aggressive towards other dogs due to fear issues. My brain said I was getting in way over my head, but my heart was begging me to take the dog in anyway.
She also does rescue work in one of the most difficult areas of this country -- Detroit -- so she is no stranger to the subject of fostering.
This is what she said (edited for content of personal family information):
You may also have inherited the B******* trait of "fixing injustices"---champion of the underdog. I've got it too. I have found that I can't fix it all BUT I can fix a small part. You have rescued four dogs from a horrible life and made life heaven for them. That's fixing the small part that you can control. And, because I'm an optimist, I know that there are many, many other people "out there" that are just like us and if we all fix a small part, that becomes a big part. I know that you're saying. . .but, there's so much to do. . .and you hear so many horrible stories but, alone, we can't fix it all and I feel sad even saying that but I've found that that's all I can do. And, when is the time that you enjoy your accomplishments? I'm sure you play with your dogs a lot but the next time you do, really think about how much fun you're having. It's like seize the moment. You need that for balance: you have changed the lives of four little wagging tails.
Everytime I feel that I haven't done enough or that I must do more, I refer to her letter. And I do the little/most that I can every day and put faith in the fact that there ARE others just like me out there to do their little bit as well.

there are alot of threads on this board that I peek in on...decide there's too much heat...
and "get to steppin" from.
I'm willing to venture a guess that there are alot more "players" here than those involved in just this thread.
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is why some take more heat than others...
(or maybe b/c I don't read those threads...hahahahahah...I miss some of the heat they ARE taking???)

I am thinking you are correct. It does have more to do with than just this thread. I am sorry if my comments to you last night were out of line, to the others, they were not. They were right on target.
I think I'm just amazed at how every web forum I'm on (but one...and I won't talk about THAT one! hahaha) declines into a nasty fest so easily...
