Emma It's sounding better each day . Tekno is a real fighter and it's so good to hear he is making steady progress.

Hope that Tekno continues to make good progress today

Sarah I am so sorry to hear this.

Hoping for some more good news after you see him Em. You know that I am constantly thinking of Tekno and sending healing thoughts

Jasper . Sending masses of healing thoughts for you babe.

Sending positive thoughts for your mum and dad and

Emma I'm sending as many positive thoughts and hugs to you that I can muster. Come on Tekno you lovely lump. You Can and Will get better very soon.

I don't really know my way around this forum yet, but as a 'current' Dp member , I would really, really like the following to happen as I feel certain that as the word spreads many many more Dpers will want to be able to read this thread. Could a summary be made regarding the main points as to the reasons given that certain rescues can't post on DP and the lies that have been told about them. Could a summary (or a new thread) be made listing the ordinary members that have now been banned as a result of posting on this thread. Can it still kept open in such a way that as new people come to this forum over the next week, they can still express their views (I don't know how that can be done, maybe by leaving it unlocked for just a couple of hours each night and mark it that way). If it is closed can it please be pinned somewhere really obvious to that new members can find it easily. (this forum is a bit confusing for newbies). Thank you

What a great old boy Toastie sounds

I totally agree. Unfortunately both your posts have now totally been deleted, so apart from a few people who may have seen them in that short time frame, no one else will even know they ever existed

I'm only saying how I feel from knowing her over a forum and the odd PM. I only know a few people on both forums personally. I hope I am right too.

Please don't jump on me for saying what I am about to say . I explained much much earlier on in this thread how shocked and upset I am as a Dp member. That shock is turning to anger. What I wanted to say is that I feel Roxymum is here because she really cares. I know she doesn't need me to defend her (and she doesn't even know which member I am from DP). As you do , when you are new to something you look out for names you recognise and I recognise her name. Why else is she here unless she cares and is trying to make sense of it herself. When I first came upon this thread, I thought that Carol was going to say that this is all lies , however she hasn't said that at all. I feel a bit like I am sticking my nose in here, but I just wanted to say that and also that I'm sure that carol does care very much about the dogs and does really value the people that help in all ways, no matter how small. Hope this makes sense. believe me I am apaulled at the things I am reading here.

My goodness...the same mum . Obviously my knowledge of genetics isn't up to much: I would NEVER have guessed that. Roly and Snoopy are

If this lady is not on benefits, could it be that she might actaully be entitled to claim benefits if she is on a low income or an OAP or suffering from a disbility. (i.e whatever the reason) It might be worth her contacting her local Welfare Rights service, to get a benefits check. (They can work out what she might be entitled to).

They're lovely . can I ask their names and how old they are.

Sorry, no offence meant to anyone who has been on the recieving end of her multiple personalities, but seeing Juia's posts on here has actually made me smile for the first time today. Sorry apologies for going off topic totally

I totally understand what you mean. Please believe me that I have no ulterior motive other than trying to understand and find out the truth. I 'm frightened of repercussions from Dp if I either ask the questions on there or say who I am. As I have said before I am nobody important, just an ordinary person and this is very very sad. I found this thread last night by chance. I've only slept a few hours since then. I know my own feelings are NOTHING compared to the lives of the dogs we all want to save, but to me this feels like a bereavement. I feel like I am about to lose my family (on DP) and this is just so hard for me. (I do have a life of my own and am not a saddo, but I hope people understand what I mean) If I do decide to leave DP then I would be spending a lot of time on this forum (as I have today). There is no way that I wouldn't say who I am or who my dog is etc etc. I know other Dp'ers who are reading this will be feeling very like me and to those who have expressed a welcome thank you. Sorry I know this is off topic, but please please believe me I just want to do what is best and this is breaking my heart

Carol Thank you for answering the questions that I asked. I have read the Mill Rescue threads on DP. I read them at the time that it all started on Chatter. I totally share the concerns and understand the issues. I really hope you (or anyone else) don't think that I am a troublemaker. I am just an ordinary member of the public who wants to get involved in some way with dog rescue, even if all I can really do at this moment is talk to others about the situation and try and persuade them to rescue a dog. I really hope that I can get involved in a much more useful way at some point. As I said before, I am just so shocked by what I have been reading on here and I want to know the truth. I asked you because I trust you.

Hello Carol I think it is really good that you have come on here and I hope that maybe you can answer my questions. I assumed the issue between DP and the Refuge was because of historical issues and more recently the Mill Rescue issue. I used a different identity on here becuase I assumed that I would not be welcome as I frequented DP. I am now very frightened that if I was to go back to DP and ask these questions there I will be banned and the posts deleted. Would that be the case. Also please can you tell me why Doglost is not allowed to be mentioned on DP. It does make mention of the shock collers on there. Does DP think that they do promote shock collers.?On here they say that they dont. Also have rescues been banned from posting their dogs on DP because they also post on here? Is that true? I am asking you these questions because I trust that you will tell me the truth. Thank you

Please understand that my question was a genuine one. I'm not sure what it actually says on Dp about Dogs Lost (I would need to go back and look more carefully). This is just something that I have always assumed and I do understand that one of the points being made here is that possibly we (members of DP) are possibly being led to assume all sorts of things that are not true. Please understand that I really really am in a state of shock and I don't want to say anything defamatory (sp) about anyone or any organisation involved in rescue. I am not a stupid person and I am now struggling to understand what all this means. I am posting here under a totally different user name than that on DP.I joined this forum because someone directed me to it as, shall we say , an 'alternative' to DP and I have lurked for a while. I'm actually afraid of saying who I really am now (not that I am anyone important ). Oh dear. What a tangled web.

I'm really shocked by what I have been reading on this thread. I am a DP member. I'm not actively involved in rescue, but hope to become. I'm just totally shocked. I knew that the Oldies Club had been banned from DP and why and hoped that was going to be resolved. I have been meaning to ask Cindy about it, but thought it best to keep out of the politics of it all. Does Dogs Lost not advocate the use of shock collers? (that's what I had been led to believe). I realise that Jaqui D had left DP, but didn't know why. I can see a few fellow DP members posting on here as well. Many of the other rescues that have been banned from DP I didn't even know about. I think I need time to go away and reflect on all this as I find it so hard to understand. I just thought we were all here for the dogs and I had no idea that this sort of thing went on in the background. I am just so shocked and need time to take in what I have just read.

Totally agree. I hope Aggie has recovered from her nasty experience and will continue to hold her cute staffie head high
