Good Grief!

Echo, I apologize for publicly airing what obviously should have been a private message.

Dawg

dawg Good for you!!

Dawg,  Please don't !!   Your feelings are valid and warranted !   I read your thoughts now about 6 times or more,  and the more I read them the more I saw your heart in them,  I am lucky to have a few who would "look out" for me and I truly appreciate you asking me to re evaluate the way some of the posts were coming across.  

Sometimes in training,  I think why is my dog doing this or that,  I can't see it,  So I ask someone else,  watch this dog watch what is going on,  My training directors laugh so hard at me sometimes,  One will say,  Ohhh I see what your doing,  and I go I'm not doing anything...  She will say Yes you are,  You looked down,  I think No I did not,  But stay quiet and do the excercise over again,  and low and behold I looked down,  go figure I could not see me doing it,  but I was.... 

sometimes it takes someone on the outside looking in/over to lend the eye so that I can see my mistakes.  I apologize to everyone who has felt this way reading my posts,  they were not intended to be harsh or pitiful,  but I see where they came out that way,  After Dawg Graciously pointed them out.  Dawg it's all good here I promise you,  Please don't apologize,  I am Thanking you for being that friend and that training director who could help me see my mistakes...       :-)

allaboutthedawgs,
thanks for your last post. Good wakeup call. 

Echo, I too wish to offer my apologies for the rant on you. It was not innitially intended to single you out or to be malicious but that's not the way in went. Sad thing is I am one of the biggest proponents of keeping this site from going astray and personalizing everything. So again please accept my apologies. I woke up this morning and knew I needed to do this, I just hoped that when I pulled the board site up this thread would still be on the first day so I could sneak on and post quietly, but guess that's not the way it was supposed to be.  Have a good day.

olskoolgsds,  Your apology is accepted however it is not needed,  the more of these I read,  the more I realize, that people post in different mannerisms, some with alot of heart, some with alot of emotion, some without much pre-thinking,  some post with great thought before posting,  and others knee jerk post.  I am so guilty of all of the above,  as I think we probably all are.

You guys don't need to feel bad for pointing out that I was posting in a manner that was coming out all wrong !    It was not my intention to do so,  But indeed it was happening.  Just like the training thing...  takes others looking at the excercise to point it out,  I read my post with my voice in my head,  and you read your post with your voice in your head, ie... setting the tone.   But sometimes my calm quiet voice is read by someone who is wound up and shouting,  and vice versa !   I know I do the same thing too.  Guilty !   LOL

You guys It's all good here I Promise !!  another thing my Dad drilled into all of us,  was "if you got it comin you stand there and take it"    :-)

No hard feelers from me,  I suspect I very well had it comin,  and I apologize for not standing there with my mouth shut and taking it.

everybody get a room and end this thread!
