Pepper- Accident

Okay, I am learning alot about myself from this accident and that I am a strong woman....the other day I acted out and posted a stupid post here I took my anger out like a child when the forum was closed on etsy so I could not "talk" with my life line. They did follow the rules and yes there are other rules everyday we see that other break, they don't catch, I turn the other cheek because I know I always get caught and never get away with nothing----I don't try either, it was by accident and I am not a forum junkie but, it was were I turned during this time and I am thankful it was there for me!
BUT, on the other hand I have had some stupid people to deal with....I had a customer buy A strand of beads, I emailed her I was a few days long at mailing them (should of mailed on Monday but mailed Friday)I know It is sob awful of of me, I sent a email, said it was mailed, why and I am sorry. She sends one back with caps and tons of explanations points that she need to make 12 necklaces ( out of one strand of beads) and was just not nice and after mine she sent another say she has as business and business is business she knew she sounded rude...all I could say was yes you were but I sincerely hope you never walk a mile in my shoes.
Am I wrong...maybe. Anything other than is attitude I would of refunded her some of half her money back. Why have I had some people just act like this is nothing ..like go on it is just a dog and a few people just said why make a fuss it is a animal it does nothing for us. These are the people that are only a bit better that the ones that did this to my dog.

I will apologize now for my rant...just in-case I hurt anyones feelings. I just wanted to blow off steam.

Now, Pepper is home, total bed rest, Monday he will return for new splints, check up and clean bandages and US? The bill, the vet was going to work on it this weekend.
I will take photos and post.
Just to recap...he had a two hour surgery that placed a plate and 7 screw in one leg and the day prior he had a procedure to reduce the wrist and yesterday it still looked good when they re- x rayed it.
Thanks for your support. Michelle

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
