I'm still shook up too, even though I sound like I'm not. Can't show any anger, you know, might transfer to the dog.
I could understand if I'd posted my full name, address, phone number, website to a satellite picture of my neighborhood, and full medical records in here, but I didn't.
I was happy about something, and sharing my happiness with others, who were also enjoying the happiness. It's like I'm not supposed to have something happy happen? I know that's not true, but that's my first, brief thought when I start to think about this.
Who in all of their internet safety vigilance would think that it could be dangerous to post a dog's picture and website link that describes her? I think it's a given that you don't give out info about your kids and your exact location, but something like this? And for someone to file that in their brain and go to a friend, remember which thread, find the exact post, and contact a person who could take something away, and give me something that I didn't want or need - a feeling of physical harm - just baffles me.
I'm only glad that it was something like this instead of a different person losing something that would drastically alter their quality of life.
Just want to clarify the physical harm comment. Yes, I feel like I was physically violated, not bodily, but in my brain and my heart. I sat here after hanging up the phone on Saturday and it felt like my brain was getting stabbed with an ice pick and an icy hand was ripping out my heart. My chest felt crushed and I couldn't breathe. And all I could say over and over was WHY? WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYY?
