Advise to Hodie - Page 1

I know you are upset Hodie but the world if full of stupidity. I am sure you have heard the saying you could take all of the money from a "Intelligent" man and give it to losers who want something for nothing and in ten years the money would be reversed to the intellingent man again and the losers would be broke again. Same way for people who purchase GSd's, you have alot of idiots who never learn and keep repeating the same mistakes. The big picture Hodie is that people like you do help and benefit some people and their dogs. So keep your head up and remember that you do make a difference. I have owned and worked GSD's for close to twenty years and I have learned alot from you and other people here on this database. So think about it and hope you return. Best wishes

I agree. There are so many more people that benefit from what you have to say, and of course there are those that respectfully disagree (nothing wrong with that). As for the "haters", please don't let those pitiful losers run you off.

Hi guys,Did I miss something?Hodie is not thinking of leaving this site right?there is so much USEFULL information given always that it would be a shame if we lost hodie.If anything does come of this please someone let me know where hodie goes.Many thanks in advance

Hodie, You follow in the footsteps of my dear friend 4 Pack. I guess you need to decide if you are willing to take the good with the bad on this site. I have always respected your opinions and help. I will stay in kontact, best regards, VB

Why did 4-Pack and Hodie leave? What did I miss?

Hodie - you do seem to be a wealth of info. And although one time you may have rubbed me the wrong way, lol, it was because you were right and I didn't want to hear it. I didn't know you left but hey, won't you come back?

I think you'll find that Hodie has more formal education and experience than most (if not all) of us on this board. She is a straight shooter and I guess that's too much for some folks. Only sueincc defended her and there are two folks who definitely owe her an apology. Hodie had taken another person under her wing and got stabbed in the back. Our resident 'expert' decided to chide Hodie for criticizing the person she was helping for being less than honest.

I too would say Hodie is very knowledgable. I even praised her willingness to jump in and help folks or at least try to, You can't help someone who does not really want it, But Hodie always seems to try. <-- that's a good thing by the way ! I would describe her as "sharp" but that's not a bad thing in my mind. I have always respected her posts maybe not always agreed, and healthy debate is good, But I have always respected her. Too bad that other folks don't read EVERYTHING !!! before they point and say "you had the knife"

I too hope that my good friend, Hodie, will change her mind and return to this board with her usual outstanding advice and impartial evaluations. On many an occasion she has set me straight when I came to a rash decision without first having all the facts. I am not always a person who can sit back and see the big picture the majoirty of the time; Hodie has that gift and I've come to depend on her to show me the other side of an issue and to advise me accordingly. She has never left me down and I promise you that anything she says on this board is always couched in the best interests of the breed. She has absolutely no interest in promoting herself or her own dogs. It's always all about the dogs for Hodie. I wish I were more like her.

Everyone, we all know that Hodie (Sharyn) has been a very active contributor to this messageboard, but more importantly she has been a long-time contributor to the well-being and future of the GSD breed. I know that most of us regard her opinions and advice as some of the best that can be read, and it would be a travesty if she chose to never return here. Hodie has done nothing but offer her advice and insight to anyone who asked, and always tried to do so in a pleasant and professional manner. And that is hard as hell to do with some of the ones on this messageboard who choose to practice ignorance and/or incivil behaviour. I know that she has been close to leaving this messageboard in the past, and this time it may be for good. This would not be for the good of the GSD world. If someone (I am sure there is more than one) on this messageboard owes Hodie an apology, then they had better choose to become an adult, swallow their pride, and make that apology now. The rest of us owe her our thanks for being such a wonderful friend to the GSD and the GSD world. Hodie, I know that you may choose to never return here, but I hope that you have a change of heart. I would certainly miss you, and your posts. Bob-O
