Holders turned patience into the theme of the response, writing that waiting on the team paid off in the end.

Replacements had been reaching holders since Saturday night, and the posts that followed spoke of calm rather than frustration.
A Steady Wait
Some holders had received their dogs while others were still waiting. The mood across the thread was encouraging, with those helped cheering those still in line.
Background
The losses came from a marketplace exploit that holders described without alarm. The team chose to cover them from its own collections.
Holders who contributed to the thread seemed to enjoy being part of a good story. Each added a line or a picture, and the sum was a shared record that anyone in the community could look back on with satisfaction.
When a team can be thanked sincerely by the people it has helped, it has done something right. The sheer number of thankful posts in the thread was evidence of that, and it left a favorable impression on readers.
In many ways the weekend was a lesson in how to handle trouble gracefully. Listen carefully, answer personally, give generously and let the results speak, and holders judged that approach worthy of their warm praise.
The sense of occasion in the thread was real. Holders treated the arrival of each replacement as small good news, and the cumulative effect was a feeling of progress that lifted the community from one post to the next.
There is craft in a good apology and craft in a good repair, and the pair are related. A repair that arrives promptly and generously says everything an apology might, and holders seemed to hear it that way.
Holders enjoyed telling others what they had received because the telling was a pleasure in itself. Reading a stream of such tellings, one gets the feeling of a community that likes being together and likes celebrating good outcomes.
A project’s reputation sits in what its holders say when no one is asking them to. The unprompted praise in this thread is the kind of reputation money cannot buy, and it grew from honest experience.
Founder Bark added a short post early on Sunday with the message that faith in the process pays off and a cheerful woof to close. Founder Shibo was thanked by holders too, crediting the leadership for looking out for everyone.
