People are amazing to me

It is amazing to me when tragedy happens you really learn who is a take and who is a giver. As I keep saying 2011 has SUCKED. Not really for the rescue, the rescue is doing great but personally it has been a horrible year. I guess that is what I get for 2010 being so awesome. LOL!

I am sure some of you remember the Photo Album lady. Well my friend and I who she sued... my friend's husband is the one who passed away. It amazes me that someone can sue you for something as silly as a photo album but then think it isn't going to affect the friendship with those she sued. I won't go into more detail b/c I know she stalks this blog. Just dumb founded at #1. why would you use your friends and #2. why you would think that your now non friends aren't going to be upset with you. I shake my head while I type this b/c I am in shock over the illogical thinking.

Then with my friends baby getting hurt I really learned who is a giver.... I also learned this year that two people who I have known my ENTIRE life and who have known my family for 40 plus years are not so nice people. That was crushing. The more I think about it, it is probably jealously. I can't come up with why anyone would act in the manner those two have. I guess the Green Monster got the best of them.

It is a hard reality when people you trust are so awful. For example the foster home who gave away the dog I was allowing them to keep and LIED about not knowing how everything worked with the rescue AND is the one that was behind the fact that the dog was not returned. Just amazing to me the lies that come out of people's mouths. I think maybe they tell the lies so much they believe them? The strange thing about all this is looking back... I knew she was a liar. I just thought being and adult and having a child maybe she had grown out of the liar stage... I didn't know her as a child / teenage but you know how you just get a feeling about someone. I should have known better. :-(

The amazing thing is though I am surrounded by some pretty amazing people. My when my friend's baby was hurt I couldn't believe how many people who don't even know my friend but know me were jumping into help. All of the people that volunteer for my rescue are just amazing, I seriously couldn't do it without them. All the rescue folks who are willing to pitch in and help when another rescue person or one of their dogs needs help. The amazing people who have adopted from me and are always willing to help with the rescue or really with anything.

I get so upset when people are nasty / mean / hurtful.... I guess it is because logically I don't understand why they are acting in the manner in which they are acting but I need to not dwell on the idiots. I need to focus on all the amazing people I have come in contact over the years and all the amazing people who surround me. I do need to make sure that those who aren't "trusty worthy" or those who are mean / nasty / hurtful go away, far far away. I am slowly purging and it is freeing to purge b/c you don't have to deal with the nastiness but at the same time it sucks when it is someone you have known for so long.

And people wonder why I do dog rescue... I like dogs way more then people.. they aren't mean and nasty on purpose. They love you just for feeding them... they love you for being you. You can be you around a dog.. they are ok with you having a bad day and won't hold it against you and they don't lie and they aren't jealous of you. Oh I love my dogs. LOL
