Haha...awkward.
I take it Kyla doesn't know you can read PM's / Whispers considering the one she just sent me...
"Osy, I just found someone who's using a pic of Huna as their avatar on a forum and Twitter... this same person has stolen pictures of Brad's before, and I told him about it and he didn't seem too concerned. Should I tell him this time or just leave it be?
I'm a little afraid he's still mad at me after the Lindsay fallout...
On an unrelated note, how's married life treating you?
"
Neways...not sure if I should tell her you can read Whispers so she "outed" herself to you, or if you'd like me to tell her summit else :P
Kyla always comes to me for advice but this was kind of an "awkward" moment where for once I've no idea what to say LOL ~

As for the Avatar, yea that guy is strange. I did actually contact him and then I locked down my flickr account... but what can I do? I have seen my images used in over 20 videos and on sites - including a breeder's site claiming my dogs were their dogs and were going to be bred by them. I can't police everyone.
As for the Lindsay fall-out thing, Kyla was the one the offended me the most, I liked her, I vouched for her to Peggy and Katja. Katja wasn't sure she even wanted to meet her until she asked me if Kyla was ok... Then, from those meetings, she became an "expert", and therefore can critique Jen and my direction, publicly, in our selected breeds. I've given more to these breeds than anyone else in North America - end of story. Why? Because, guess what, I have not had a penny of income come in from my efforts - yet Kyla, Lindsay, and Jen can judge me and my efforts from their high horse, as if they have any real understanding of what I am doing and what has been done.
So, I honestly don't care what you tell her and I could care less if she is a contributing member of the forum or not.
As for the whisper thing, I'd prefer people not know that I can read them, otherwise it defeats the purpose. But you can tell her whatever you like.

I understand your frustration, I'd be pretty pissed too. I guess my main question was whether or not, out of respect for you, I should tell her you can read whispers, that's all. [ wasn't trying to dig for info, or get you upset, or nething like that ]
& I know what you mean, & can empathize with you completely, when you take someone under your wing, then all of a sudden they think they know more than you & tell you whatever the fuck they want. Trust me, been there, done that, & it's annoying as hell.
Sorry Brad, didn't mean to open any old wounds, I just wasn't sure what to tell her, kind of an awkward situation for me since I figured you'd read the whisper & didn't want to say nething that would complicate things.
Just remember Brad, you have a few people who ride your [ & Jen's ] ass a lot, BUT there are more of us who support you, & cheer for you, & trust you, & speak highly of you. Please don't let the few condescending assholes get under your skin, as in the end, they are 3 people out of a good 1000+
I know you're really frustrated & stressed right now, trust me, I know. Between Loa, trying to import pups, the forum, baby on the way, etc. but I know Brad, once you get that first litter of puppies on the ground, you'll feel a huge weight off your shoulders! & You'll feel like all your hard work has finally paid off!
& to hell with anyone else. People are always going to talk BS. Take it with a grain of salt. Like I said, the rest of us are cheering you on
Neways, Brad, seriously, if you ever want to talk, or just to vent, give me a ring or shoot me an email, or whatever. I hate seeing you upset & hurt. Because of YOU I found out about Kai, & because of YOU I found that I could actually get a Shikoku! I owe a lot to you, more than you think, so if you ever need nething, seriously, ANYTHING, let me know.
Sometimes it's best to let it out, rather then keep it in.
Neways, I'll let Kyla know that you've done everything you can & there's not much else you can do anyway so it's kind of pointless to let you know.
Take care. & sorry if I upset you. ~
Ok, I feel better. Thought you were mad at me there for a moment! LOL ~
Hope you don't mind, but when you're free sometime Brian [ husband ] & I would really love to talk to you. Over, the phone, with a voice, rather than through type.
We've been communicating for a while now through e-mail, & there's a lot of stuff I'd like to say [ rather than type ] to you. It'd be great to do it in person! But, that option isn't available right now ;p
I've spoken to Dave R. & Dave S. on the phone, & it's been awesome both times. I think it's about time you & I have a chat ;p
So please, if you get a chance, I'd love to talk to you whenever you're free.
Osy. ~
I am always open to chatting. You guys can call anytime, just let me know a rough time so I will plan to be here. Our home number is 575.751.0207, or I can call you as we have prepaid long distance.
Thanx!
~Brad

Well, we're night-owls, & we're home...ALL the time LOL. [ Husband works from home, all my classes this semester are online ] So call us whenever. ;p
If you want me to call you just let me know a time you're free
Look forward to finally getting around to talking Brad!
