I am making this post here, because I don't want to respond to what may be a troll, but I think it is worth saying;)  If I held a view that I thought extremely personal and that I felt very emotional about, I would not post it onto a forum within the first couple of days of joining!  

If I did feel that I wanted MY feelings endorsed, I would wait, just as with friends, to make sure that the people I was amongst shared the same views   Champdogs is a wonderful site, with many diverse members, from all over the country and with some from other countries as well.   Some live in towns, some in the country, some support the countryside alliance and what it stands for - others equally vehemently oppose it.

We are lucky that when we post here about our beloved dogs reaching the Rainbow Bridge we receive undinting support and love - this is where people can pour their hearts out when they lose a beloved pet knowing that no-one here would say "its just a dog".

Ummm, may I have been "caught out" do you think Margot? Karen

I agree :)
