This is a very difficult post for me to write. But I'm so inflamed about
it - I just had to!
Phyllis asked us not to flame her and to "Please don't think I'm a bad mom.
I'm just tired, too tired to do it all." --- Well I'm sorry but how can you
not be a bad mom when you are choosing one child (sheltie) over two others
(Sarah & Noah). Have you ever thought that maybe Sarah doesn't like the
new intruder because (as you put it) "We have wanted one for a long time.
She is a joy". Don't you think S&N feel the neglect? I have 5 dogs and 6
ferts - believe me the dogs KNOW that I adore the ferts and they ARE VERY
jealous. A couple on my dogs HATE the ferts - they just tolerate them. I
try not to show favoritism between the species. But everyone has learned
to adjust. But I would NEVER think of giving up one for the other -
especially the ones that were there first. It goes to show that you play
favorites. Time and loyalty don't play a part in your decision. How sad.
I'm sorry but in my opinion you are a bad mom - but that's just my opinion.
