you are the hero of this rescue. Why would you feel like you are being made the bad guy?? I must have missed something.

you big hug lug...ce

...We all had the option of donating or not donating.. and no pressure to go with it!! It seems that the idea of an emergency-fund has been on the minds of more than one person.. If this helps get an emergency-fund set up.. WONDERFUL!!

Please take this money and take tons of pictures of Cody.. You are going to have to send out tons of pictures to TONS OF GOD-PARENTS!!!

what my measley (sp?) $10 goes toward. I donated what I could with the intention of helping a poor bullie buddy get a better shake at life. As long as it is spent to that end, I dont care which bully (if Cody's needs are met) or if it goes for further needs Cody may have (shots, neutering, etc). I just sent in to help out a poor creature with a smooshy face that needs help. If Cody's settled then I dont mind my part going on to a new bully in need.

You have NO reaason to feel bad or explain yourself. You are doing an incredible thing here. Take all that is given to you (whatever that ends up being) for Cody and spend that on him and everyone will be happy, cause he will be happy! That was the end result we all wanted. You go girl! You are gonna make an awesome Mommy he so desperately needs!

someone fill me in....i'm lost here...

If we thought this was a selfish act we would not have all worked so hard to help Cody.

YOU AND CE ARE ANGELS!!!!

I think its wonderful of you to give Cody a loving home.

could never be a "bad guy"! I think that this being the first time that we've all tried to do anything like this...and involving such a large amount of money...everyone is just trying to feel their way and set up some kind of guidelines.

All you need to focus on is that Cody comes home on Saturday!! We are so excited for him and for you!

as the others above have said...you are giving Cody a life of love and his own hearts to own..and a yard..and oh so many things that he has never even imagined.And I will be for ever grateful!
...If you carefully read my post below,my comments
were about just what,... you just said....that you were a responsible adopter ..and would surely handle some of Cody's routine needs....and that if he needed health care then any over pay monies should go to him.
...my further comments were not directed at you ..but general statements about donations and others in need....and my feelings about and on that subject.
.....and as was stated in a repley to this post to you ...trust me if "I" felt in anyway you shouldn't have Cody....I would never have replied to your posts or offer.....ce

I'm just a newbie around here, and again don't mean to stick my nose in...BUT, it has been my experience that in public forums such as this, there is a VERY wide variety of personalities, and opinions present. I also think that things that are said in text as opposed to conversation, are much easier to misconstrue because you cannot judge a persons tone or facial expressions etc... Not everyone uses etiquette in these forums, but for the most part, I think people try to be thoughtful, and don't think anyone means you any harm. With that said, I have watched this whole thing unfold. I think first of all the principal players in this operation would not consider letting you take Cody in the first place if they didn't think you were going to be responsible for him in the long run. Secondly, if you know in your heart that your intentions are good, you do not need to explain yourself. People need to realize that there really are still good people like yourself out there, and not everyone is out to make a buck. Now, keep in mind all these things are strictly in my humble opinion. Have a nice day !

I think we all know that you are planning on paying for the vet bills and toys and all the extras Cody needs or wants. I think everyone just got caught up in the moment and wanted to do it all. I think everyone kind of thinks of him as all of ours and the bullie people we are want the best for him and just wanted to help you with some of the expenses.

I know I didn't mean to hurt your feelings and I don't believe anyone else did either. If I did I'm sorry.

I think people were just trying to help....or misunderstood the whole situation. Probably b/c this all came up on short notice, people assumed you may need some financial backing. Who knows, but don't feel bad at all!!! You are doing a wonderful thing!
