If you put a tick in the "add to watch list" you will receive replies. I have added you as a friend.
Ah see what you mean! and I do and did.No replies.Alas.
Unfortunately Seeana, MH is plagued with this phenomenon.
People find a forum, ask their question(s), get an answer to their question(s), and are never heard from again.
Members like us, that frequent the message-boards, find the idea of not posting an update absurd, but the 'one hit wonders' that stumble on this site and don't ever come back, don't even give it a second thought.
I find myself wondering all the time, how some folks are doing that I've given advice to, or that I've had conversations with regarding this topic or that...
I wouldn't take it personally. It'll drive you batty if you do.
I agree really. I let it go. But it is better if people can post back and let us know. Many is the time when I've laid awake at 3 in the morning, thinking about someone's dog...or about the person themself who posted when they were upset or very worried.
I think people do just 'drop in here' many times, there might be any reason for that. They get scared about their dog, they search online, they find us, they post a quick scared question....then they end up taking their dog to the vet (hopefully) because they didn't get a reply in like -three seconds....
And life intervenes, and they forget they posted here.....
I understand that, but there were a couple of posts that really worried me! and like you ginger I lay awake at night thinking how that dog was doing.
Maybe some of them cannot afford a vet and they come on here hoping for some advice.
They do not return ! what happens to these poor dogs.
The thing I cannot understand is hardly anyone returns, the percentage is so low..
I could not or would not do anything like that,and I am sure that the regulars on here would be the same.
Makes me wonder about human nature sometimes.GRRRRRRRRRR.
I know I know let it go #%!#!%#
Don't lay awake at night worrying about other people's dogs. You do your best to help. We have to accept that we panic when our dog is ill. I don't think people mean to upset you by not replying. Just hope they sought help for their dogs.
Keep up the good work. You can make a difference when people are in a state about their beloved pets. Don't stop giving advice. It is much appreciated.
Thanks for your responses guys I really do appreciate it.
i return all the times :D
