Oh, to find a great book, to want others to love it too, and .... nobody else reads it.
Been there. Known that feeling.
You read "The Neanderthal's Aunt" at my request - God bless you!! - but so far, I have met nobody who loves that novel the way I do. The wit, tragic-comic events, and timing were Shakespearian. The prose was not flawless, and there may have been a sitcom vibe, but I still treasure this novel.
My life - well, the less said, the better, I'm finding. But oh am I tempted to speak up sometimes.
The people whose dog bit my dog are "PSSED OFF" at me. "Watch your mouth," one of the clan warned me. I have never named them in public, nor "slanderered" them, but they act as if I bought a full page ad in the paper naming them and blaming them for their irresponsible behavior as dog owners. They have since kept their dogs from attacking my dog, but there was never an apology or the least sign of concern or remorse for MY dog. Prince suffered a year of abject misery: five rounds of antibiotics, three rounds of staples, pain killers, bandages, and worst of all THE CONE, for months. He'd get out of it, then start licking again, re-opening the wound that took so long to heal. He will never again be the dog he was. He cannot go on walks with us. They have the gall to be mad at ME? Do they care how "PSSED" every other dog owner in the world would be at THEM???
My husband tells me to ignore the "WATCH YOUR MOUTH" warning and say nothing, but I am soooo ready to post another Prince post. Seeing my good boy suffer so miserably, while their five rescue dogs charge around barking in their one-acre pen (we can hear them!) ....
Gaslighting narcissists hate to be exposed.
Nothing angers them like having someone hold them accountable for their failings.
Ok, now waiting for that lurker here to screenshot this comment and message it to the woman who shouted at me over the fence that I have P*SSED off all the people connected with these dogs and that they are WATCHING me and my other dog - go ahead, you did this in 2017, screenshotting a comment I made on a homesteader's post, mentioning an unnamed person in my neighborhood, and I am 99.999% certain I know who you are. (Hint: #WB)
Some petty, spiteful, vengeful, unpleasant people have nothing better to do than stir up trouble.
Gotta let it go, let it go....
