Re: Extremely Dissapointed
Sorry to hear this Snoop. I remember when you first posted about Ellie and I had a lot of trouble reconciling the gorgeous pic of her with what the future held for her. It's a tough world sometimes. I hope you and your family can find some ease.
I just did a quick google and found this article, I hope you don't mind if I link it, because the photo at the end is amazing.

Much Bulldog love to you.

Of course I don't mind EW, that is a gorgeous pic.

Stick with the Bulldog family SD as it will bring you strength.
This is too true, appreciate all the sentiments from you guys.

Re: Extremely Dissapointed
Like everyone else, I am so sorry and sad for your terrible loss. None of us can really find the adequate words but let's hope there is some small comfort in the thoughts care and sympathy of your WOOF family.
It is very hard to accept what could have gone wrong from the club's point of view, except to say that unfortunately like so many businesses the club increasingly directs people to the web as a point of contact, and you have to wonder if your request had been heard by a real person, whether the response would have been more immediate and compassionate. Hopefully an immediate review of processes will follow this blunder.

Re: Extremely Dissapointed
Very sorry to hear of the loss of your niece Snoop. My sincere condolences to you and your extended family.
I hope you find some comfort at this time from the overwhelming support I'm reading here on Woof. Hopefully those at the Club, accountable for member support and satisfaction, do not lose sight of the little things that go to make a big difference to our culture.

Re: Extremely Dissapointed
Just to keep you all in the loop, I recieved an email from the club today, apologising for the lack of reply, apparently my request was miss filed. They have promised a condolence letter.

Re: Extremely Dissapointed
Haven't been on WOOF much lately. I'm terribly sad to read of this tragic loss. My condolences to you and the family. I must say you have been kind in describing your thoughts as 'disappointed'- I think it's disgusting that no response at all was received, save for a tokenistic offer of a letter. What a pitiful response. One small gesture would not have been hard to arrange. However at times like this, I think it is a timely reminder of how precious life is, and in the scheme of life, how insignificant games are. Yes we're passionate, yes we wear our hearts on our sleeves, but really, it is just a game. The important things are the special moments we are privileged to share with our near and dear. No words can really heal the hurt you are feeling, but I hope you and your family can find some comfort in the many cherished memories that will live forever. My best wishes to you.

Re: Extremely Dissapointed
I haven't been around very much this year and just read the sad news. My heart goes out to you and your family on such a tragic loss. I have to admit that I had tears in my eyes as I read the article and looked at the pics of Ellie, for my seven year old grandniece has the same name. Since she lives in Arizona I have only seen her a few times. I hope that your angel Ellie will look down upon our Ellie and watch over her from above.
