Bon, I do have to say one thing here. And you know me as well as anyone does that I do not play games. I know that Robin, you, alot of people and Jaime have issues and do not get along or see things the same way. That is fine, we all have a right to believe different things and it has never changed the way I feel about anyone. I dont care if you believe the sun is purple and I think/know it is yellow and everyone else thinks you are a retard, as long as you are good to me, we are friends, it is about US, not THEM.
Jaime has never done anything bad to me. While I do not condone, nor like, many of the things she has done and said to my other friends/people over the years, I will support Jaime in the fact that she LOVES this breed. And she does do rescue wonders of help, not only in the Fila but other guardian breeds. She has helped with legislature in her own state and has pulled dogs on death row and damn near gone broke tending to them. She is not in it for profit, she is in it for the benefit of the dogs. She still works full time as airport security (last I heard, now remember, I have been away for almost three years and havent 'spoken dog' in all that time except when a dear friend who is a DDB breeder pretty much stalked me and forced me to let her know I was ok.. LOL) and is not living on breeding dogs or rescue dogs. Trisha, on the other hand, quit her fulltime job to broker rescues, bragging about how much money she could make at it. She has not bred a litter, that I know of, in ages in Fila.
So I totally respect your opinion. I consider you a friend who I enjoy talking with. I have seen firsthand what Jaime and Robin have been through for years, Jaime will bash a breeder or an owner HARD and definitely not prettily, but... she is not exactly like Trisha in that she is not in the rescue to live off the dogs. She is in it for the love of the breed. Jaime has never come after me, Robin has never come after me, both of them - being as different as night and day - have been damn good friends to me. I have had this discussion with Robin many times about how I dont care what anyone says negative about her, I will back her up and let them know she is a true and good friend, no matter what they think, and it will not stop me being her friend ever. Robin has never been anything but a good friend to me. And I value her in my life, even if I have not been involved for a few yrs.
I did take the liberty of contacting Jaime after 3 yrs of not talking to her and letting her know some background on this, if it is she that is getting the pups. That is as far as I can get involved, for my own mental health and blood pressure. Hopefully Jaime will remember how I have been over the years and remember that when I get involved, there is strong basis to what I am saying, and be able to realize the truth of the matter through the woven web of lies that patho/schizo puts out. That is all I can hope. I would do more if I could, but I just cant. I am not set up for it here at all. I am a single mother of a teenager as well, which can cause emptywalletitis LOL. But I did what I could, knowing Jaime as long as I have, and never having had 'outs' with her.
