Sorry, I haven't read all the posts yet, just took a long time on dial-up to get all Nicky's photos in. I think any clique you think is here is your imagination. The people here are very nice. Don't be so sensitive.
Ivy, it's not really that no one cared, I just don't think anyone noticed with all the hullabaloo about the spamming/flooding. It just goes to show that stupid things like that can come in the way of someone actually needing help and support. I'm sorry you feel like no one cared or noticed. I honestly didn't notice because it was the same thread about the mast cell tumor and I thought I read it all. Sorry about that. There's no "clique" here. Yeah, you're new and maybe nobody really knows anything much about you but that's how a lot of us started here. Trust me, I think a lot of people have thought the same things but it's really not the truth at all. I hope you will reconsider and stay. I haven't been on here much at all for the past couple months and I would love to get to know you better.
Personally, I haven't been here much, but I looked for your post and I only see one where there is a couple pages and everyone wished you the best. Am I missing something?
It has been a little slower around here lately since the big brother thing started.
I got a little lost in the spamming, I think I just gave up reading that day. Mostly, I post on Monday, and Tuesday, my days off. I just got on the computer to download Disney info and stopped by here to check what's up. Sorry to hear about Bruce's cancer. I hope he feels better from the operation, soon.
Ivy, I could have sworn I posted on your Bruces thread. I know I saw it at three forums. I know when I post the same thing in different forums, I don't mind if the same people don't post on every thread. To me, if you post on one of them, you should not need to on the other ones. You know what I mean.
I did not post alot on the odd day the other day too.
I'm sorry you are going thru this with poor Bruce.
Ivy, I'm sorry. When I woke up this morning I thought to myself, I wonder if Ivy knows about Bruce yet. I honestly had not seen the post. I'm so very sorry to hear about Bruce. It breaks my heart for you and him.

Ivy, I am sorry if we hurt your feelings. I know I posted on the Bruce thread. If you have an update why don't you just make another thread? Just a suggestion. And I am still sorry for what you are going through with him.
I haven't posted here in a few days. I came here to look for a post about a wedding dress someone was buying to see if there was a pic yet, and I finally found it on the 3rd page. The first page said things like "my toe hurts " and "I have to pee." I know that the members doing it were just having fun, but looking for actual posts, it really was kind of frustrating and may very well have prevented people from seeing the new scoop on Bruce.
However, I did read and respond to your post on another forum about Bruce. He's a beautiful boy and I know you care about him very deeply. I specifically look for updates on him because I knew we were waiting on test results, and now because he is still healing and not really out of the woods yet, with the new prognosis. Hang in there and keep your chin up, Ivy.
To those who are on multiple Forums.. nothing expected.. but not everyone is....
When your pet.. your best friend gets news like Cancer… it hurts… a lot… and since my Family and son died … my 3 dogs and hubby are the Only family I have… this News HURT on a deeper level than even an old * b *like me expected… I can’t even think his name without crying..
And yes I did receive many reply’s to my One posted subject… AND instead of posting a new subject about updates and news.. I keep it neat and tidy but posting updates on the same original post… BUT I did change the Title name… so people would see a change of news.
For those of you who would like to know me better… to dig into me.. would be a nightmare… Edited for public forum/privacy issues … most have read it and know my history now so no need to keep it posted.
Little things still hurt me… silly I know but true..
im sure no-one here wanted to make you feel upset in any way~ especially myself..some posts like yours i reply to others and some i dont..its hard to come up with something to say when someone is hurting badly..if i was beside you i would hug you but you are not and im not very good at putting emotions into words. There is no 'clique' here and i settled in just fine being the only British person here when everyone else is american and as far as i can tell everyone gave you a very warm welcome when you found us. Another problem is this board can move so fast sometimes. I come on each day and every morning when i log on theres a whole new set of posts or some have spilled over onto the second page ~which i very rarely check~ fro what its worth i apologise if i played any part in your sadness
Ivy, you are a true survivor. You have overcome many things that alot of people can't get a grip on their whole lives. I have probably not come to terms with certain things in my life myself. Don't honestly know how. But don't want to think about it. You have endured alot. My brother has done something similar to you. Lived in his car. Now he runs his own business owns a nice home. My hats off to you, Ivy.
From our many chats I have to say that I like the Ivy that you have become! I just know Mr. Bruce is going to be okay. He has much positive energy coming his way.
Eh Ivy, sorry to hear about your awful past but im not so sure you had to spill your guts like that sometimes thats not such a good idea on public forums.
Sorry your dog isnt well. warm wishes.

thats is soo sad ivy. but there is a percentage that says 50-75 % long term survival .hopefully he will fall under that category. he is still here and recovering. love him for as long as you have him. none of us are guarenteed a tommorrow. all we can do is take each day as it comes and enjoy each day together and consider each moment a gift from god. i will pray that you have a long and happy life with bruce. and that your lives will be blessed.
Sorry everyone.. was not my intention to upset anyone… I just firmly believe that if I am feeling something… to express it .. not hold it in … I don’t believe it is healthy for ones soul… so I brought it to light… expressed my feelings … and I honestly appreciate you all understanding and not ripping my head off for doing so…. ( hugs)
No worrys, we know you are going thru alot with Brucy baby. It is good to try and let it out. Many times our hubbys just can not handle all the overflow that we women need to let out at times. These forums are good for that. Plus talking with friend in person. I know if I were there with you, I'd be crying with you. Tough as I try to be at times. I'm a big marshmellow when it come to pets.
