bad karma

[ladee]

If it is possible to wish bad karma on someone and it not come back to me, I would hope the *^%# that took my dog and will not return my calls gets his. I so rarely get this upset and give my power away, it amazes me how I am feeling right now. I want to break something, I am feeling so powerless. And to top it off I am so angry at myself for allowing someone to talk me into giving the dog away to begin with. I have allowed myself to get sucked into this black hole of others controlling this situation, and me not making a stand for what I wanted.. I work on living my life with few or no regrets, but this one has my heart hurting and being very angry and powerless...
Feedback please, and thanks for letting me vent.....

hey hunn,
i'm sorry to hear that you let someone dognap your dog..or that u gave your dog away.
i let my cat free to roam the streets because it wanted to play with the other creatures, and someone caught him and took ownership of him, put a collar on him..but guess what? the day i came back, because i don't usually home, it was waiting outside my window, meowing at midnight. apparently it escaped from the other owner. that was really cool. anyways, my point is, cartoons like bolt do happen in real life. who knows, maybe your dog will come back. maybe somewhere down the road something cool or blissful or lifechanging culd happen. i dont know how karma works, and i dont want to know. these things in life that u think ull never recover from, believe that u will. i dont know if its worth it spending that energy wrecking someone else's when you could so much more with your life. cuz maybe the energy you exert could come back threefold. heard tht watching tv shows like charmed. dnt bother jinxing yourself. it is these times of anger and powerlessness that u find serenity strength and security within. after...the anger stage...which believe me, could be endless. but yea, forgiveness. yah, divert focus elsewhere. dont feel so helpless. believe that ur dog is in good hands. if hes not, go kick some butt, bribe him, cry, find peaceful means, or other ways to contact thim. best wishes to you. i hope you get your doggie back. *sends heart stars n clovers

ladee, I would suggest you concentrate on what you want; which, in this case, seems to be your dog. Tell us about how your situation transpired. Did you "give" the dog to this person? Did they "take" the dog? Did anyone write or make an agreement? How long ago did all this happen?

You may very well have a lot more people on your side than you realize - including the police.

Do you have papers and receipts to show that you've had the dog, and taken care of them?

Let's get your dog back to you! : )

ladee,

I’m sorry to hear about your dog. You know, karma is simply energy. And I believe you are definitely sending out lots of angry energy right now. The thing is to get calm and creative. Relax and begin to visualise your dog back with you - assuming this is what you want. Best wishes.

You don't have to wish bad karma on them. Such a selfish and uncompassionite deed will likely cause the same energy to come back at him/her in some form.

That is really the beauty of Karma. It seeks to balance itself.

You don't have to do anything or wish anything bad on anyone. That would imbalance the Karmic scales even more. Just have faith that Karma WILL be balanced. That is not wishing bad on anyone. That is simply the other person/people learning their own life lessons in their own world they have created.

Thank you all so much. In some ways I felt silly for getting that upset, but I do appreciate that others care as much as I do about animals.
The situation was,I found her abandoned, sick and barley alive. I rescued her, took her to the vet, got very close to the silly thing. I named her Gracie. At the time I did not explore my options in keeping her. I have a small house, the yard is not fenced, and she was going to be a large dog. I placed an ad on local Craigs list and two days later I get a call from this guy saying he is a single dad, and his girls want this puppy. His daughter that found the ad was named Gracie..........
They traveled from a large city to come look at Ms. Gracie. The kids were great, and he seemed ok, I did not get any weird vibe off of him. He never would have left here with her had I felt strange in any way. The oldest girl really took to Gracie and I felt good about rehoming her to them. I even gave him her crate, no charge. I just wanted a good home for her.
I waited about two weeks and called to see how she was doing, fitting in, behaving,ect.
He seemed to be ok with her and she seemed to be adusting well. I still did not feel anything was wrong.
A couple of weeks went by and I wanted to check on her again. I called at least 4 times over the next two months and no calls were returned. I left a message one morning saying I just needed to know she was ok. please call me back. Before I left for work the phone rang, it was his number, as soon as I answered he hung up........
That is where I started coming undone. I had so many other choices I could have made, but noooooo, I reacted. ( I posted again after my intial post about taking responsiblity!!!) I let it play on my head for a few days and then left a message saying I simply wanted to know if Gracie was ok. If something had happened to her or he had decided not to keep her, I just wanted to know. Still no reply.
Out of nowhere it came to me to call him last night. I called, he answered, and as soon as he found out it was me, he hung up the phone...... I was outraged and let my power go to this man. I did get on here and post as opposed to calling him back and getting stupid on his answering machine. Finnally I did leave a message saying I was very sad that I had given my precious Gracie to him. That was all I said.
After I calmed down, I then took responsibility for not thinking things thru so that I could have kept her in the first place... He is who he is, and now my focus is trying to get a sign about Gracie.. And I have to let go. The man gets no more of my power. I have to channel it to good.
Again thanks to all that replied

I'm perpetually shocked at how much animal-napping goes on in the world. I'm allergic to everything furry, so I can't relate to being desperate enough to steal someone's pet.

The karma you give and get only works on you. Wishing bad karma on someone else will eventually backfire on you.

Am I qualified to answer this question? I sure as heck don't know. But here's my take.

If you wish bad karma on someone else, it will come back to you -- no way around that. Sending the bad karma creates a vacuum, and it will get filled in with like results.

BUT, if someone has already caused bad karma, creating their own vacuum, you can wish that their vacuum be filled, without affecting your own balance.

I think.

few years ago i bought a tiny golden retriever out of impulse on the streets by a dodgy guy. it was ill, the guy was going to abandon it anyways, would've given it for free. it was adorable. anyways within...20 minutes after buying it, i realized that i was not in the position to care for this pup. finance, busy work schedule, space at home, and other responsibilities. so, i gave him away to a couple i barely knew. they had a dog that they really loved, but passed away and never really considered getting another one. i chose to believe that the pup was in good hands. not necessarily dumping responsibility on someone else, but with my situation, i could not give full attention to this lil cute one. they thanked me, gave me their number, said i could check up on him any time. i never did, because i knew how attached i can get, and i knew my priorities. already, you help give it a home when God knows what other outcome would have happened if it remained abandoned. if an alien were to come to this earth, they would see the situation differently..i mean...as long as the dog has the essentials..toys, food and water, kids to entertain it, and shelter. the rude dude has a family, his role as a father is to protect his family, however an arse he may be to someone on craigslist, but hes responsible for himself and how he chooses to respond to a strangers. he doesnt know u that well. mayb not focus on wanting the dog back, but reassurance that ur dog is in good hands

bamboozld,
After doing some meditation on this, the thing that keeps coming to mind, is I need to pray for this guy. He was put in my path for a reason. It was not to do me or my puppy harm, or at least I choose to believe this. There is something very wrong in his live to cause him to not respond to a simple request of letting me know how the puppy is doing. I have to live with myself,and yes, I did get very upset. I so appreciate being human... Those human feelings of powerlessness always brings me to ask for help. Whether it be in human form, the power of the Universe, what ever one chooses to label it.
I know that I am in a much better place about all this because I can at least pray this man finds his way, is filled with compassion and truth. Prayer causes no harm, and me being upset about something I have no control over, does.

I posted here because I don't feel judged, and I knew my humaness would receive the help I needed to get back on track. It is ok to be derailed, it is what my lessons are about.

So, thank you, and everyone else that replied. I did not feel alone, and that is very powerful. Thanks again.
