A little bitching. Maybe I'm going about things all wrong?in a

I made a similar post to the basset hound community on LJ after people were asking where to send their money to help rescue animals that were stuck in New Orleans. The only response that I got was a question asking who she needed to contact in regards to adopting a hound from the Looziana Basset Rescue. Apparently said person put no effort forth into reading my actual post. I guess what I'm saying is, that I thought that maybe making a post to the basset community, that maybe, just maybe someone would be willing to donate a couple of dollars to help out two rescue organizations in one. I guess I was wrong. Maybe I totally flubbered on making the post. Maybe people just don't really care and think that I'm out to get their money. I'm not. JustGiving works via credit card only. This is why I offered for some people that I speak to on a regular basis, or live in the Indianapolis area, that I would accept check or cash via mail or pick-up. I know times are tough with gas prices, the economy sucking, and people donating to help human victims of Katrina, so it's hard to get donations. However, when you specifically asking on ways to donate to a rescue organization to help animals wouldn't you take advantage of that?

I guess I'm a little hurt more than anything. Like Madison and I aren't cool enough for the LJ basset gang or whatever. I don't know. Like I said, maybe my approach in the post was all wrong?

All in all, I'll be happy once next weekend has passed, honestly.

    Hey, I finally managed to get that check out to you. I think you and Madison are super-cool, definitely cool enough to be in the Basset Gang.

    Don't feel too upset about it, hon - you did your part in putting the word out (posting) where you can - and helping to spread the word... You may not have gotten the response you expected, but that's out of your control, although you probably inspired and motivated people in other areas. You never know :) I think it's really noble that you took time to post and take part in your drive.

    Sorry if this sounds totally ignorant - but what do you mean when you said you and madison aren't cool enough to be in the Basset Gang? What's that all about? Of course you guys are cool enough to be a part of any Basset group!

    I was in a very strange mood last night. It just feels weird when I make a post to the Basset LJ community that I seldom get response no matter what the question or post is about.

    Really... that's strange. You're more than worthy to be involved in such a group - actually - you deserve your own, really ;)
