Salt in the wounds of a dead companion.

[plax]

The issue at hand was, the unquoted reply which I assumed was to my OP, when applied to my OP was blaming me for the death of a member of my family, whom we were boarding at a professional cat/dog/bird boarding facility. However it may have been a misunderstanding.

The blame would have been placed on me because the poster doesn't let anyone care for their animals, which is not an option for my family. Again, I hope I was wrong.

If I was correct, that is not sharing. And I have seen many posts on online forums doing this kind of thing. Gladly they are less common here.

Firstly, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. It sounds to be a clear case of employee ignorance. There can be no justification for what occurred and I'm sure no explanation or compensation from those responsible will lessen your heartache. It's indeed a horrible tragedy! I know the event happened some time ago, but I wish to offer my heartfelt condolences

I want to also say that it's my sincere hope the boarding facility didn't euthanize the Cockatoo... that would make things doubly tragic!

Finally, I have reviewed your original thread and I fully agree with the assessments of Thingamagigs and sonja. I'm nearly certain the poster was referring to the developmentally disabled child's parent as described in a previous narrative by another poster whose Budgies were sadly massacred.

I think it's important to realize that while some of us may have valid and important input to offer, we may not always possess the grammatical and/or contextual awareness which others might. And within a text-based medium like this it can be difficult at times to take meaning precisely as it is intended. One way to address such cases may be to simply private message the poster and ask him or her, point blank, to clarify their in-thread remarks. It's just a thought.

May your future be filled with happiness and good fortune for your family and the pets you love

Agreed. Lesson learned. Had the post not been a year old I would have taken the action you suggest, but the person probably doesn't remember posting that particular response. I never intended for the identity of the person to be disclosed(you guys are thorough). I have already apologized for the likely misunderstanding, removed the quote, and never did I put the poster's name in this thread. To quote myself, I have my foot in my mouth on that matter.

Much thanks to all who have searched for old thread and clarified it, and like I said before, I am glad to learn that my first assessment was probably incorrect.

I don't think you should feel too bad about the misunderstanding No harm was done and you got a clarification that I hope may have made you feel at least a tiny bit better. It is completely understandable misunderstanding as well, especially because your baby meant so much to you and passed in such a devastating way. I think you approached it in a rather respectful way for a public post.

I am looking forward to your posts about your new feathered family member Welcome back.
