Missing Dog Blog - Ruminations on how the loss of our dog is affecting the family.

I dunno. I'm torn. I have followed this story from the very beginning. Usually the first thing I would do in the morning was to check your blog and see if you found Penn yet. I can't imagine the nightmare you and your family have gone through. I would be a basket case if my dog was ever lost. I bawled like a baby when you reported that he was home. What a "feel good" story in an otherwise bleak and scary world. You and Penn have touched lives and hearts. But.......now you're "selling" the story in the name of making a fast buck. I dunno. It sorta cheapens the whole "feel good" feeling for me, anyways. Just my opinion.....
ReplyDeleteHey Gary,
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean--in a way. So many people told me along the way that, "this should be a book." I thought I'd try; plus I felt that others who weren't along for the ride might enjoy the uplifting story as you and others who experienced it along with my family did. Trust me we are not making a whole lot of money on the attempt.
Thanks for your input. Thanks for the support along the way.

Sure, no problem. I was really undecided if I should even voice my opinion or not. I do understand where you're coming from and yes, the world certainly needs an uplifting story these days! I'm okay with it as long as that was the primary motive rather than profit. Hug Penn for me! Take care and best of luck to you, your family, and Penn.
ReplyDeleteYikes! They're turning on you already ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw numerous comments encouraging you to put pen to paper all throughout your journey. You took a leap and did just that -- good for you Flint!
Rachel, I'm not "turning on" anybody. I was merely stating that well, okay, I'll just say it......The guy should just be happy he got his dog back and not try to make a buck off of it. I know he's a budding writer and all, but still..... Anyways, if you had read the correspondences between Flint and I, you would have seen that I DO understand where he's coming from and I do feel that his e-book does have merit and value, and good for him for doing it. I just needed clarification as to what his motives are and I'm satisfied with the answer he gave me. And if he does make a buck or two, I guess that recoups some of the expenses incurred in getting Penn back. Bottom line, to say that I'm turning on him is unfair. Yes, you are forgiven......
ReplyDeleteHi-I read your story awhile back and wanted to share it with another family searching for their dog. Now that you are "selling" the story I don't feel right about being the one referring this family to you for fear that this will see it as a shameless promotion on my part. Perhaps you can contact them directly and, as a gesture of good will in their time of need, provide your story and search tips? They seem really close to finding their dog but he's been on the run for awhile now so will probably exhibit the same elusive behavior that your dog did. PLEASE help them! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bring-Puck-Home
ReplyDeleteHey Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about that scenario. I tried their facebook page, but couldn't get to it. They can email me flintkeller01@gmail.com. Perhaps I can be of some help; I certainly know what they are going through.
