1. You can pick on me any time. I won't take it personally.



That's my opinion on that. You may see it differently, more power to you.

WHAT??? You have a different opinion than mine??? You agree to dis-agree with me??? You're being polite and engaging in coversation with me without calling me names??? I'm not positive, but I don't think that's allowed on this board!

Seriously, we do see this differently, but I appreciate what you had to say. I think you have a lot of valid points. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.

That's horrible! Poor Doggy! We had a Golden when I was growing up that choked on a raquet ball once. I still remember my mom doing the heimlick on the dog. It worked--thank goodness! My current Golden doesn't own a ball smaller than a football.

She died to teach her a lesson?

I think its a comment that anyone could say so as not to have to deal with the pain of losing a pet senselessly. What is more senseless but unexpected than a dog choking on a ball. Retrievers love balls. I would definately give her a pass on that. Losing any pet prematurely, at a young age is so painful.

2. I don't look for reasons to hate Oprah. I was a huge Oprah fan for many, many years. But she has flipped her lid with all her self-important crap. She's almost the leader of a cult. It's creepy that people put her on a higher level than others and creepier still that she allows it.

3. I didn't say she thinks her dog died to send her a message. She did. If people want to make more out of death than there is by finding something else in it, that's fine with me. Whatever gets you through the night.

But a dog died to send her the message that she needed to take some time off at work? That's self-centered. And it wasn't just any death. The dog had to suffer. What? God or the universe couldn't find any other way to send Oprah her message?

She is waaay too full of herself. The dog didn't suffocate so that Oprah would remember to put herself on a list. That's my opinion on that. You may see it differently, more power to you.

While I gave her a pass on the comments, having lost my Annie last summer, I do agree with you on 2 and 3, and occasionally on "1".
