Wow. I guess it's too hard for you to believe that maybe someone might not reply because they didn't feel the answers were relevant or helpful and they thought the thread would just die?

Trolling? If I was going to troll I would do something that would leave more of an impact such as say I kicked the dog down the stairs and post a video of it on Youtube. If someone is as messed up as you're suggsting, a remark like that would irk them and they would do something like that to prove to some words over the internet that they're for real. Kind of like those people that commit suicide over a webcam because people in a chat room challenged them.

I vented. I don't know of any other forum on the interent for this type of topic so I thought 'relationship" since I was on Curezone anyway to double check the amount of OO (Olive-Oil) to use for a flush. Oops, bad idea I guess.

- No, my dog doesn't have "mange". He's just weird. Just like my mother's dog who likes to roll around on dead birds.

- Telling me to move out is a pretty ignorant response not knowing me or my situation regardless if I am 15, 25 or 35.

- Me taking over my brother's responsibility isn't really an option either. For one, the yard is huge and he leaves it all the way in the back. He's in and out all day long. I'm not going to run back there 20 times a day to make sure it's not out. I also shouldn't have to babysit my dogs all the time when they're outside plus they have a dog door that sometimes gets left open for them. And they also get let out when I'm not home because they have to go to the bathroom or whatever.

- Whoever said there's "arguing" and "problems" in the family I guess deserves a medal for stating the obvious.

- Yes, my mother favors him and always has. Why? Because she had him years after me when she was told she couldn't have any more kids. He's the miracle baby that was born premature and lived in an incubator with breathing tubes for the first month of his life and she almost lost him. So, the bond is stronger. Even my grandmother saw the difference. I quit competing a long time ago.

- Actually tried that therapy thing once. My mother has to see one for some reason and asked me to go. Basically she used it as a way to give me a lecture about what she didn't like about me and would try and get the doctor to agree. When I spoke, I wasn't being heard. She just wanted someone to help her drill her opinions in my head. The dr would try and say "ok!" and try and get her to stop and she would keep going. It was really bizarre.

I didn't do it for "revenge". I wanted to make a point. I wanted it to effect her personally so she would get as upset about it as I am and finally do something to stop it. I don't see it as being "cruel" since I didn't pour it on the dog to seep it into her skin, I didn't dip her paws in it so she'd leave gas tracks all over the house and lick it and no, it's not possible for her to be near fire and go up in flames.
I wanted the dog to smell. I accomplished this. My mother came home, sat on the couch with the dog and smelled it instantly, assumed the dog rolled in it, got pissed and I don't know what she said to my brother because he wasn't home. No harm done, except for my mother's stress level.


Let this thread die. I will find somewhere else to "vent".
