Well...since we're horn blowing, in one year we fostered between 7 and 10 JRT's, on top of the 4-6 we had of our own (can't remember the exact numbers) and most of those JRTS that we fostered were here because they had bite histories, had been abused, we deemed unadoptable from the shelters which they came from.
I've been bite more times then I can count anymore, I have scars that are likely going to stick with me the rest of my life from trying to hand feed (nothing in life is free) some of these poor abused dogs.
As far as posting...it's taken me 2 years to reply as many times on here as you will in a week with your current rate. Ask any poster on here, my replies are always informative and often thought provoking.
Most of the other forums I'm on have sayings such as "come in, sit back, have a cold beer (or whatever drink is your choice), and as you get to know us, join in" Coming in with sledgehammers flying and 'woe is me, I've been abused' isn't anything we haven't seen in here, there are many here that have troubled pasts, though most of them I would help out in person, financially or in other ways because I KNOW them (have met well over a dozen chazzers in person) and not one of them came in here slapping a headline banner on the front page.
Sooo....have a drink of your choice, and maybe listening to get to know us would be a good idea.
