What A Country - Homeward bound -2 - Page 5

Some people do seem to enjoy kicking someone when they're down, and that SUCKS!

I know from experience just how much harsh words at the wrong moment can drag you down even further.

Let's keep this thread as positive as possible, as we cheer Shelly on towards her goal!  And if you can't find it in your heart to say anything positive, just STFU!!


BTW, I'm wondering if the wonky muffler maybe contributed towards Shelly's illness and loss of voice?

Hope all will be well now!

Shelly, I don't know you ,but I feel like I do thru this board and your posts. I have nothing to offer you but words of encouragement. You'll make it , be confident and strong, stay focused and deal with things as they come your way.I believe that you are truly one brave soul, most folks would never attempt a journey like yours even with the odds stacked in their favor. Most would have taken the easy way out or just given up and remained in their current situation.I admire your determination to make a better life for yourself and your dogs.I hope that all the bad luck is behind you and the rest of your trip will be smooth sailing. Just  hang in there and remember it will all be over soon.Everything happens for a reason even though we might not know what the reason is.You,ll make it and you'll be much stronger from the experience.Just keep in mind, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I wish you and your dogs all the best in your new life and hope you never experience anything like this again. For all you nay sayers,If I were a dog I would want to belong to someone like Shelly, never to be abandoned no matter what the circumstances were.                            Michael

Autobahn,GSDrule,sunshine, and others being so judgmental and condemning towards Shelly,
 I can see that you have never had life throw you a major curve ball, never awakened one day and asked yourself HOW did this happen?, how did I get myself in this situation?. I imagine that there are many people out there and on this board that wish they were you, and could say that they had never made wrong decisions and mistakes that set their world upside down. This is a prime example of the sad sad state of society and mankind today. Instead of coming to the rescue and aid of those in need and in trouble people like you turn their noses up at them and try your best to beat them down. I hope and pray that those of you with this attitude and hard hearted never have to deal with things like this in your lives.
I have on more than one occasion done things and committed myself, only to have mountains, walls, oceans and major curve balls come at me in succession once I have committed myself. W hen this happens those of us who are not as perfect as you can only do our best (and many times it takes the help of others) to get through and out of the situation.
  I was privileged and honored to have met Shelly and her family yesterday for the first time. Watching her with the dogs, talking and listening, I saw a person who really cares for and looks after her dogs. The dogs were all in good shape, happy, and could most definitely tell well cared for and loved. Momma dog looks good ( She and T remind me of a couple of mine... SPOILED rotten) energetic, healthy AND HAPPY. As protective and selective as I am about who or where my dogs go, I would feel more comfortable sending one.. no any, even my most cherished with Shelly in her current (and temp) situation than so many people I have seen with and had talk to me about dogs that had it all.
  In my opinion if you don't know all the facts and circumstances behind the decisions instead of bashing ONE of the very few of US who truly loves, cares for and treats their dogs the way that they deserve to be treated. We should keep silent, and even when we don't totally agree or understand the decisions, be there to help a brother or sister in need out.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.( Hebrews 11:1) My words were ones of encouragement and support ! And to remind shelly that those single set of footprints she was seeing were not hers but of the one carrying her through this ordeal! Irreguardless of what some think shelly is in a precarious position and needs all the support and encouragement she can get!Even if you disagree with what someone is going through you should always lend a hand because someday you may be in that condition! I applaude her for keeping her dogs because I have read several posts here about those who (HAVE TO GET RID OF THEIR DOGS BECAUSE OF A DIVORCE) oH OK SO YOU GONNA KEEP YOUR CHILDREN BUT POOPCAN THE DOGS???

I wouldn't worry about it too much Jim,
some people just can't help it.

So she made it to Arkansas, thats great.
I'm hoping its much warmer now, that helps out a lot.

Faith comes from within the person and from the willpower in a person, not from your so called God for i have unlimited faith in myself but it comes from me no where or anyone else i inhereited it from my parents,
anyway i will  not argue the toss with you on this thread
As for me shutting my Trap and not saying anything to Shelley , but  feel free to come over and close it for me if you think you are capable, so ethier do it or keep quiet for this is not the thread to start your preaching sermons

Again Steve I will tell you to stop telling someone who has faith that they do not need it! I made no reference to you which invited you to make your snide comment!  You said that she did not need faith only willpower !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1                                                                    Raymond
All you need is Will Power nothing else and that comes from within yourself no one can put it there or take it away.
Faith you do not need, and I hope Shelley has that Will Power to see it through and i am sure she does as she is one tough lady
Steve1                                                 So for you to even say such a thing is horrible. And It seems that the mention of Jesus Christ just irritates you! So again just as sunsilver said stfu unless you have some positive comments! I did not come here to preach anything ! but I will not stand by and allow you to tell lies! Faith is a gift not an inherited trait!

None of you know what I have been through. I HAVE been through bad things in my life, financial hardships, etc, just like I think many of us have, and do you know what I did? I got another job to help save and pay off bills. I got down to 1 dog and I scrimped and saved. I surely didn't breed a female and take off on a cross country trip in the dead of winter. Think of me what you will, but can any of you honestly say that knowingly breeding a female with an uncertain lifestyle ahead of you is a good idea, and something you would do? Think only of the dog here, not of Shelley's situation, which is what I am doing.

The bible is a wonderful book written by men who felt they were influenced by a divine presence. Faith no matter the source is a wonderful thing. It is a book that has been influenced by man and edited time and time again we will never know the original text  but many  use it for inspiration as is there choice.

Back to the focus of this thread Shelley our thoughts are with you.
