<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I wanted to write and say thank you Donna for all she does for this group. I am appreciative and thankful for her time. I am sure that she has better things to do, but she is always ready to create fun for us, or at least for most of you. <div>I posted back when my Harley went to the rainbow bridge. I said something that some of you on the list found offensive and made you upset. I said that there are mean people on this list. I want to point out that again it has happened to me! I joined in the fun and sent out packages in both the secret pawtner and Halloween pawtner. I did not receive a thank you from those I sent packages, nor an acknowledgement that they received anything. I did not even get one of the packages back in return! I realize that things happen, but this is the third time I have not gotten a package, and not sure how many times it has been since I was told thank you. This is mean and rude. </div><div>I have been apart of this group a lot longer than most of you. I have seen friends come and go and more of our dogs head off to the rainbow bridge. I have cried with all of you and celebrated with all you on your new babies or achievements. I just feel so upset and wonder what is wrong? I even asked Donna what I had done to receive such treatment. </div><div>Now, I am the person that you plead with to support your group and send money. I always do. Most of the time it is an envelope with money. I buy the raffle tickets and have been involved with auctions. I right now am so disappointed and hurt by this group again that I am not sure I want to help or be apart of a group that has become so mean. </div><div>Maybe I am feeling sorry for myself, but I find it unbelievable that Donna would have to play mommy to anyone and ask you to say thank you or send your box. I saw that post in DD not long ago. Are we not adults? Can't you keep your word and send a stupid box? I have my own set of problems, but to be treated like this hurts. I won't be involved like this again. </div><div>I have even tried to find a puppy from any of the rescues in the country. I will travel to you and pick up the dog, but most of you have said no. I am not sure why, but again what did I do? I am the perfect home, or so I thought. </div><div>Maybe someone reading this will try to do better. I am disgusted and am hurt. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Chalkboard; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Jessica Rutan</div><div><a href="mailto:jrutan@aubreydog.com">jrutan@aubreydog.com</a></div><div><br></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
