You seem to be a loving woman of both people and animals, and she does, too. I think she responded quickly and bluntly, and maybe didn't take the time to see the 'whole' you, and was maybe upset about your having to put the baby pup down... and she does have an injury to her brain which may make her a bit 'unfiltered' in her reactions - who knows? But I think if you didn't know each other, and met each other, you'd probably have more in common than not. Let the hurt feelings and the negative insinuations and comments fly away - don't be the one to continue it. You obviously are full of love, be the generous person that you are...Kelley Carey MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667693715096070393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-84562669091395314572009-06-30T03:33:23.751-05:002009-06-30T03:33:23.751-05:00I am so sorry one of the commenters upset you!

Next time, just hit the delete botton and don't let it go to your heart.<br /><br />I have comment moderation because I have come to enjoy being able to read all the comments before I publish them. I should receive the comments also by mail, but it turned out that it is not a reliable system, too many comments were never referred by mail. Now I can catch even comments to older posts, which eludes me way too often. <br /><br />Originally I put comment moderation on because someone was simply having fun making silly comments which were not really funny. Otherwise I have been really lucky in enjoying immensely sweet visitors like you. <br /><br />I don't have the follower gadget set up because I am still using the old blog format from 2005. I want to hold on to it because I am afraid of messing up my blog. I wouldn't know where to find the time to but it right again.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-57727516660447415032009-06-29T14:51:41.705-05:002009-06-29T14:51:41.705-05:00I'm with Angie, just do your best to ignore th...I'm with Angie, just do your best to ignore the critics.

The more 'publicity' you give a person--the more they'll continue to do this kind of thing... <br /><br />I know that these are 'public' blogs---and people have the 'right' to say what they want to say. She has strong feelings about that issue I'm sure---but she doesn't have the skills when it comes to expressing these feelings to others--especially to those she doesn't know. The whole thing could have been handled differently. Maybe she will grow from this also.<br /><br />I haven't received one of these negative comments YET---but one day, I probably will. And--like you, I will be furious and mostly hurt. BUT---I hope I've learned from your experience NOT to give it any attention at all.. Sometimes it is better to IGNORE and not fight back.. <br /><br />You are such a great woman--and have done so much good in the world to everyone around you. It's true.. That gal doesn't know you. <br /><br />Wonder if SHE has 100 followers???? Bet NOT.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-3514589901936229092009-06-29T12:53:57.070-05:002009-06-29T12:53:57.070-05:00LOVE ya Carol!

No, I did not! I lost my temper and let this woman get to me!It has been a very hot and exhausing week with all that goes on at a farm in harvest season, plus an entire day playing mid-wife to my new grandogs!<br /><br />After she kept accusing me of insulting her brain injury which I had no knowledge of, I went to her blog and read a few posts. I did not read but a couple and she does have an injury caused by some accident, I think. I did not go far enough to find out by what.<br />Had I been aware of this to start with, I would have let it go, as I should have done anyway! But I didn't!<br />She really hacked me off by referring to my dog breeding as a puppy mill. She told one of her followers, I had two litters a few weeks apart, among other false things. <br /><br />She continues to blog about me and send nasty comments which I reject! Thank God for comment moderation!<br /><br />I would just lay it to her brain injury if I didn't have a precious niece Angela who is 42 and received a serious head injury in a car accident 10 years ago. Angela has never exhibited negative hatred toward others.<br />There is not a sweeter, kinder person on earth than sweet Angela.<br /><br />So i'm closing this chapter and moving on to more important things like canning, taking care of my Sadie, my grandogs, Jake, TC , Hubby, flowers cattle and my home. I am a woman blessed by God to have such a wonderful life I love living. A life full of friends and family.

In it she challenged me, if I had a working brain, to defend myself on her blog. Like a fool, I fell into the baiters trap!<br />I wrote a comment that her veiwers could visit my blog and see a brain that worked! I had NO idea whatsoever that she has had an accident of some sort and has a brain injury! Was I set up? Who knows , who cares, but this is how that came about. I made the comment about children from the state needing homes but most of us have our own if we can, rather than adopt. I also said I felt sorry or her dogs and children after she expressed sympathy for mine! That got turned into I had insulted her children! I'm sorry if she has a brain injury, I pray she recovers but it doesn't give her cause to inflict injury to others with her words!

I have mine, and I am at peace with my decision. You did not have to flame Alison, her injury, or her child. Those were beyond the pale, sorry.<br />I have no issue with your wanting to breed Sadie once. I understand why you did it and I think it was a loving thing to do. <br />I do think the continuous angry comments you left Alison say a little bit more about yourself than you wanted. I also didn't think Alison's comment, as you posted it, was quite as rude as you think it was. Again, that is just my opinion. You have your opinion and I have mine. <br />The choice we all have is to try to reach common ground.
