    Dear Tammy, I am really sorry you are going through all of this. Some people are not that understanding and they can hurt you. It isn't nice of people to judge you when you are trying to do a good job, I see this and if others do not then they are not being nice to you and I am very sorry about that. You know I am always on your side and think that you are a very good friend, person and I know you are doing your best and you have a very big heart so please do not let anyone hurt you. I am always on your side. Big hugs and lots of love.

    Sorry to hear about this. I think you are doing something great. It shows you have a compassionate heart. I hate people who just dump animals on the side of the road and don't even think nothing of it. It breaks my heart to see that. I'm glad there are people like you who care. I too lost a dog when he got very sick. I feel awful but had no money to take him to a vet and some of these vets want all the money up front. I know you are trying your best and so understand. All I could do is make him feel comfortable. It has been about 4 years since he is gone but still miss him terribly. Yes, it does suck when you are not in a position to help them but at least you are there trying. Circumstances happen and you have to make the best of it and so I understand what your saying.Hugs.

    You have so much love in you. Don't let this person's comments bring you down. The world is a better place because of you. I love animals and almost envy your ability to take in the hurt and vulnerable ones. Hugs.

    Awww Tammy that person had no right to make bad comments about you.....What ever happened to this being a support site....more and more i see ppl on here bashing others,,,i've dealt with a few like that also....thank goodness there are plenty of good ppl on here like yourself to out weigh the bad.

    You keep saving those animals. It is better they have a chance with you then die alone and unloved. You do what you can and the rest you leave to God. It is the fault of the person who left the animal to die in the first place. You are a Godsend!!!

    I think you're a wonderful animal lover! What would all of those animals have done with out you?!!! You've given so much of yourself and now when you don't have as much to give you are still giving the best you can!! I'm sorry I'm a little late reading this journal entry, but I'm glad I did...you are an somebody very special to do what you do for these animals!!
