Quote From: dogloverrpHey all,
Just wanted to let you know this show was all in fun, and while it seems in a few postings I have been chastised for the way I treat Sasha....I would like you to know that it was never with harmful intension. I have watched the show several times since it aired this evening, three times in a row tonight as most always prescribed by Dr. Phil. I realize that I may have made a few slips of the tongue...but truly I have gotten a few of the messages loud and clear.
Should we be invited back for an update you'll be excited to find out what has happened since the show...
for now what I can say is that I love Sasha very much and want what is best for her and her health...but of course I love Jill more, and I realize that she is the most important in all of this...along with my son.
I hope those of you who have posted comments will consider that loving my dog is the part that comes easily, and loving Jill and my sons are even easier...what is not always easy is pleasing those whom do not see us or know us and understand this is only a small fraction of our daily lives.
Some of you have posted wonderful things and given truly helpful insight and advice...others have taken themselves and their postings a bit too seriously...but don't worry, we forgive you. (wink)
What I learned most from situation in particular, is that I have an amazing family, an amazing future daughter in law, and extended family...and wonderful friends who support me even though I am crazy about my dog....and yes some even agree it is normal.
Thank you Dr. Phil for giving us the opportunity to be a part of this show, and a special thanks to Stephanie and Justin!!
Best wishes to all of you and thanks for watching Dr. Phil, especially the segment featuring our special girl....Sasha..... I mean Jill ....( only kidding ) geeesh
Namaste.
Linda
have to tellya girl friend I so understand. I have so many children, human kids that is. Mother Hubbard would be so proud and there is food so the cupboards are not bare. BUT and I mean fuzzy BUTTS of course.. I have 4 cats, Zeke age 16 and 34 # of cream sickle cat [ orange white Garfield ] George weight 25 of all grey and white paws , he is 13 years old and he thinks he is human , he might have been in his life, I think he was a physician as he takes care of everyone when they are ill. I call him Dr. George. He is very kind fellow. Sylvester T P Stallone age 10 weight 7 1/2 # and he is the heavy weight champion of fighting. He is the only one declawed and he has yet to acknowledge this ever. He will always start a fight with a dust bunny or the vacuum cleaner if it is standing still. Ophelia Cri Sara Bernhard age 2 1/2 years old 16 # and she is a main coon puff full of play piss and vinegar. Her tail is longer than Sylvester. DO NOT TELL SYLVESTER! She is a beauty and sits in front of the mirror to looking at herself to prove that theory. She gets stuck up in tree's and has been rescued already one time by the Totem Lake fire department. She gets vertigo. Not kidding and adores to play with her cat dollies that are small stuffed cat toy dollies. She wakes us up to play hide and seek and loves her cat ball wheel too and wakes BIG KITTY UP TO RUN WITH HER AND CAUSE LOADS OF NOISE! who is BIG KITTY?
My Dog/her dog... Gage, age 10 years and weight 78 #. Lab border collie mix was adopted when he was 3 and was found on the side of the Spokane hyw with a bullet in him. We adore Gage. He adores his Cats , but his very best friends are George and baby cat, Ophelia. Ophelia has never been introduced to any other dog. SO, Gage is a big CAT/KITTY to her >^.^<
Do I adore my fuzz kids? Yuppers. I also adore my human kids all 7 of them plus the kids I have fostered 8 plus the kids I have simply taken in through out the years... 10.
In our home it is always rescue and not waste.. You have a good heart.. I know you do. The show was a great one and I always admire love for a fuzz butt and no one can convince me you do not love your family :)I know better..
(Original Air Date 12/14/07) Dr. Phil’s guests call their loved ones on the carpet about their unusual behavior. Linda says her dog, Sasha, is more human than canine. She loves to dress Sasha in pearls when company comes and feed the pampered pooch off her fork. Linda’s future daughter-in-law, Jill, says Linda is going overboard with her doggie doting -- especially since Linda wants Sasha to host Jill’s bridal shower! Then, Mary says it’s time for her husband, Eric, to let go of his dream of being a rock star. He’s 50 years old, and she says it’s time for him to get a real job. Eric says she supported his passion for 27 years -- so why is it suddenly abnormal? Next, Amber says she’s concerned about her fiancé, Colin’s, unpredictable mood swings, because one minute he’s the nicest guy in the world, but the next minute he’s flying off the handle. Should she call off the wedding until he gets his temper under control? Plus, a picky eater says she wants to stop being a “food weirdo” and start enjoying meals like a normal person. And, a woman at odds with her husband over the dangerous hobby that left her with a fractured back. Should she pursue her passion even though it terrifies her spouse? Tell us what you think!
