Geeezzz........... let me explain

Almost 4 yrs ago when I married my husband..he came with 5--25lb dogs !!! They look like chows...They were all rescue dogs as small puppies with their mom. He found them all alone behind a huge storage tank full of gasoline. I came with a winnie dog, and 2 chihuahua's. Does this sound like people who don't care about animals ? We also now have cats and kittens..We moved in Nov 2011..In our other house the dogs had a small yard with a lot of sun. And a small laundry room to get in during the rain and winter. They hate thunder..so I would let them come into MY KITCHEN..5 LONG HAIR DOGS. Does this sound like people who don't care about animals ?? When we got this house, it was a lot better for the dogs. We have NEVER CHAINED THEM UP!! They have a large shady fenced in area and a breezeway to get in. The reason of building the dog house..was so they would get out and get exercise. These dogs are 13-14 yrs old...2 have passed away. They have food, fresh water, and treats DAILY !! Does this sound like people who don't care about animals ?? The dog house was not built for them to feel like they are in prison..but to get them outside and exercise, and get out of the rain, etc. ALL OF OUR ANIMALS ARE FIXED AND UP TO DATE ON THEIR SHOTS,ETC. DO WE SOUND LIKE HUMAN BEING WHO DO NOT LOVE OUR ANIMALS ????????????????????

    Troye, I somehow missed the original nonsense, but I'd just like to say, you'll never be able to change some people's mindsets. This was a great, creative way to build a doghouse. To think that creating shelter for your dogs is somehow cruel just doesn't even bear responding. Roll your eyes and move on. :)

    Hi Troye, sounds like a few someones have been giving you a hard time-please try and not let it spoil the gift you have given your dogs.....from a loving and caring heart.

    Troye when animals have humans that care as much for them as you apparently do, they are indeed lucky. People tend to say hurtful things when they need to keep their thoughts inside their own fences. You do what you do and be proud of it! As my dad would have said; "Ignore the people whose mouths write checks their backsides can't cash." They simply are not worth stressing over.

    Troye - YOU GO GIRL!! Just like everyone above said, there are IGNORAMUSSES out there who just look for something to jump on and rant about!! They pre-judge when they don't have all their facts!!

    Troye,it is very evident that you are an animal lover. Ignore the naysayers. They are just looking for something/anything to complain about.

    Troye, I missed all the brewhaha, but it looks entirely functional to me. Our dog has a dog house,too. Lucky me, he lets my family live there too. But he has a vacation home in the backyard that he will use when we are not at home. He never stepped foot into a dog house until we adopted an old lab who felt so much at home in the dog house (just been a yard ornament prior to that). She taught him that dog houses are not so bad. Sounds like you build your pups a nice little vacation house, not a primary residence.

    Coming from a HUGE dog lover...(my husband and I have 3 large dogs, all rescues) you have heart and show compassion!! People think we are crazy to have them but we love them as much as we love our kids (they are our kids too) I make them homemade treats as well. People are crazy so don't listen to them!! Go with your heart!! It certainly sounds like you have a huge one!!

    Internet: You have to be thick skinned. I have ran Facebook pages for missing people. You would be appalled if you saw the things they have posted to the Missing Boards.

    On this page you can't delete their comments. But you can delete your posts. You can also not reply. This takes away the power. Reply to positive, don't reply to negative. They do not know you and there have been times I have re-written certain things because if more than one have ...»

    misinterrupted it, if my writing isn't clear even if my intentions were good. I also don't defend myself. There is no reason. It doesn't help. I apologize if I made a mistake (misinformation) but once I apologize I won't let it keep being brought up. On this page you cant control that. so dont reply to the negitive posts. This isn't about whether I find you wonderful or not. Heck anyone who has taken in all those animals is wonderful to me! It is about being able to deal with negative people. It shocks you the first time it happens. And your stunned. But don't let this stop you from posting. And some people, not many, a few are trollers. These ignore. Report them. Please keep posting. This also happens to everyone. Read other bloggers on here who have had people write and tell them they hate their posts.
