I wonder at times why I bother?

i love your discussion ellie..i only have a computer problems..but f i have much time i really love to hear from you

Hi ellie~ I just saw the discussion about Ziggy. I haven't been here much myself because of some of my own personal stuff. I was so upset when I saw the discussion that I wasn't able to get myself to respond right away. You know how I felt about Ziggy and it really broke my heart to hear that you had to rehome him. I am so sorry that he bit you and your son. I can't believe that he would do something like that so suddenly. I am sure that he loved you both. I can't imagine what could have happened, but I don't blame you for doing what you had to do. I know that you will miss him as I will miss hearing about him! It is breaking my heart to respond to this as I knew that it would. I didn't really know Ziggy, but I loved him too! So, please forgive me for not responding sooner. I just haven't been myself lately either. I hope Ziggy will be happy whereever he is and I hope he will remember that his Aunty Opal loves him still!

I just haven't had a chance to respond to it yet - saved it as new because I've been busy - doing things and watching the rainstorm - haven't had one of them for a while

Hi there Ellie. Please don't be upset because of this... i know the real reason for your black thoughts is in real life (and i have a hunch his name starts with a Z), but you have to understand that time tables are different, and some of us don't use mylot notifiers - i really can't stand them At present it is past 1:30 a.m. here and it is surprising i am up so late, as i had relaxed with my girlfriend at a game of scrabble online, after a full day of working on our final exams. I do hope that you keep starting discussions as you know i am a loyal responder in them (as often as i can), and sometimes i respond a little late to some, but i still do. I am going to sleep now;) Take care hun !

Sorry about the delay in responding. I was out for a good part of the day. There may also have been some sort of delay in how your discussion got posted. In my inbox, it lists it as only being posted 50 minutes before this one. Your discussion implies that it was posted quite a while before this one. If myLot doesn't send out the email notifications in a timely manner, that would impact responses, since friends don't know it's there. I'm home 99% of the time (or feels like it), but with the holiday weekend, there were errands to run. Perhaps others had errands or holiday funtions to go to as well. I hope you keep posting, I enjoy your discussions.

Ellie I enjoy your discussions, please do not stop making them. you have some very interesting thoughts and things that I am interested in so please keep sharing your thoughts

I am sorry to hear so, Ellie. I haven't been responding much lately and I am sorry I wasn't around to give you a comforting response when you needed it. Having to let a pet go is one of the hardest things in the world. I have had this experience with one of my dogs that got a seizure and her character changed after that. She went to a new home without children because after this seizure she could not stand noise anymore (and we have a busy family). She was with her new family for two weeks and then passed away because she a a severe seizure again and this time she did not come out of it. Very sad story. I hope your dog will have a long, happy and healthy live with his new caretakers. All the best Ellie, huggles

Huh? I've just been to that discussion which was a week old, and there are over thirty responses, including mine! I think you might have chosen a time to post when most people who follow your discussions were offline for whatever reason, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

That's very strange Ellie, I just answered that one and it hasn't loaded yet so I cannot see if you had some responses since. I see that I'm the 29th responder...you must have nudged a few there...

I'm so sorry to hear that you had to rehome your loving pet. I know I would be devastated if I had to do this with one of mine as they are my babies and part of this family. Yes, sometimes I do feel this way, but mostly when I am depressed.

I know how you feel. I had a discussion about infertility and I got the feeling that no one really cared. I mean these couples long for a baby and it never comes and no one made any response to the discussion. Oh yes and I also happen to love dogs, and I know nothing about rehoming a dog. I suppose that is getting the dog who was left to run wild, start to act normal. So I will see if I can respond to it.

I didn't get that discussion in my inbox. At least I don't think I did. I currently have 600 messages in my inbox. I'm involved in too many sites. Perhaps I just haven't found your discussions yet. Maybe no one knew what to say? But yes, I have had discussions where no one replied.

Hi Sweetie, I know you are in pain. You just need to be a little patient. It's always difficult when you post and get no responses but especially when you need emotional support. Well, you have so many friends here and I know they will be here for you once they see your post. I keep thinking about that time you were trying to house train Ziggy and you put him out in the yard and the next thing you knew, he was climbing in the kitchen window!! I know you are hurting but I had to recall that day for you. I truly did laugh out loud. I hope you get that picture up on the site soon. I'll go back to see it. Take care El. Hugsssss leenie

what eh? *confused* you've had to rehome ziggy :( why whats happened chick are you ok?

I find many people are not responding to discussions anymore, I think it may have to do with the summer coming and more and more people are going out more.

Yes I know what you mean I hardly ever start a discussion anymore as you only get one or 2 replies, seems if you don't have something juicy or political to talk about no one seems to want to reply. What did you mean by rehome your dog, do you mean give him away to someone else, if so I am so sorry that you had to lose your pet, I have a peakinegse and I have had him for nearly 9 years now and I don't know what I would do if I had to get rid of him. Hope you decide not to stop making discussions, hey what we talk about is important to us same way it is to the others that post.

The only post I saw about Ziggy was "No More Ziggy Stories" and you have a lot of responses there. So I don't know what you're talking about. I do hope you change your mind about not posting discussions.

Hi ellie, don''t give up so quickly it is a heart wrenching story and am sure you will get some more replies, yes I have done a discussion and not had any responses but then all of a sudden have got a few, it does make you feel despondant but time is of the essence..Huggles LoLo xx

Sorry you feel that way. I haven't posted in a while either, just respond, its all good.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, Ellie ... I've had a few days away from myLot and the discussions have banked up in my email box. I'm just working through them now. I haven't posted many discussions - and when I do, I'm lucky to get half a dozen replies, so I know what you mean about not bothering. Mostly when I think of a discussion, it's been done so many times before it's not worth submitting it. Yours are always interesting, funny and often poignant - so please don't give up!
