etsy and stupidity

Okay, so they closed the thread so I will turn here. due to


HeyMichelle says:
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. I hope that your dog will be ok...

We can't solicit donations in the forums though, so I am going to close this thread. Thank you...
I never asked anyone for anything except friendship or a shoulder I guess this was seen as too much. I asked for help in getting the person/persons that did this. I believe you followed a flag or skimmed this thread and did not read it because somedays it was a life line for me to my sanity.
I found a support group and you found a silly thing to shut it down.
Everyday people on etsy do thing that don't follow the rules and I never say a thing...I am trying to keep the rage from building after stupid people attacked a helpless animal who is a member of my family and you shut down my life line because you think I am soliciting.
People sell items they did not make, soapers selling potters mugs and soap dishes, others selling flip flops from the market but you turn the other cheek...why maybe because you get a piece of that pie. I asked for nothing but friendship and ideas and someone to listen.
Who are you?
I have asked why did this happen to us and today I was told by a complete stranger.......
it is because I am strong enough to get up everyday and fight for my family with nothing I am going after these sick individuals to stop them from doing it again! I did not and will not just lay down. AND you will not put up a stupid speed bump because that is what you did....you let people talk in the etsy forums about sex, drinking, and other non professional items yet my thread is shut down and you paste do's and don'ts and a I'm sorry....You did not read it or you would of read what it meant....he is not just a DOG, he is a family member would it of made a differance if it was my son and then you would still cut me off from the people that care?
You read your own rules! Throw me from a speeding truck why don't you.

I am now going to post here instead of in the esty etc forums. Even if this just becomes nothing more than a journal for me atleast I can express myself and not just sit and cry, my eyes are painful and swollen. Right now I can take crap from someone that, to me, sounds like it comes from a self centered person that has never had the love of a animal.Animals give love and nevr ever ask for anything in return. I am trying to take care of my family and him, some of my families items like dinner at a decent time or that my kids clean clothes are still in the laundry baskets on the love set...we have a show coming up on the 4th of July weekend...I need to finish up my pottery that is on the drying racks!!!! And jewelry I need to make! Stuff I need to pack, will he be able to travel, if not who will watch him? I had three deaths in my family last December, the only family left and here is my MOM and Dad and they will be come too and they have 4 cats.
Its after 10am I have not heard from my husband so I do not know if any or how any interviews went yet.
The local cruelty officers are trying to help but it is paperwork and statements...not complaining. I am doing it.
Pepper is in got spirits and wants to be loved, really wags his tag when we come to in to the room to take turns taking care of him. He ate a full meal last night...first one since be fore accident.
No b/m yet but I am waiting bought baby wipes and more puppy pads and will go and get a male pee wrap thing from Petsmart http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3830111 would rather buy handmade but time line here is short I hope it will not be held against me...I think this will be better for him. Thank you to DoodyPops who gave me the idea...so many etsy folks have helped with great ideas in his care!
Love to you all I will post more Later...Michelle and Pepper

A late New Year

My blog has been just sitting here going stale! What have I been doing? School, trying to finish that BFA I wanted to get and be a Mom, wife, Daughter and run a business...plus a artist. I had a chance to do some watercolors for ASU musical and jumped on it for the experience and the fact that I found I love watercolor BUT finding time. During the holiday break we lost my dear loving Mother in law. What to do without her? She is the rock in the family for so many and I know the heart for my husband for it has been hard on him and making it hard on the rest of our family......I hope it can calm down or Lord, help us. My Grandmother fell and broke her hip, elbow and shoulder and had surgery but, never recovered. All just prior to Christmas Day. Christmas was bleak but atleast my oldest was with me, he is a big part of my heart. A friend of the family died the day after Christmas to make matters worse. My Mom is sick and I now have to be a nurse again a help over see her care. Due to her prior illness it is making what is wrong more difficult. It will all work out. I have found time to make jewelry again, paint and start up my wheel and play in the mud!
Life can throw us some real pot holes now and then and we have to slow down and keep going.
So, take time do the things that keep you sane and slow down it will get better....that is my advice.....LOVE, HUGS, and KISSES! Michelle
