YT 500 Club Member | Ferrari update Hi yt I thought I would share with you that I was involved in a many scam the lady who I thought wanted ferrari had me thinking she really wanted her and emailed me everyday then one day she called and decided to be be honest and say she really wants her but can't afford her and only have "maybe" 400 dollarsbecause its Christmas. I was devastated that someone would play around like this,luckily she is just a puppy and did not understand when I told her I found her a new mommy! oh well I guess this kind of thing happens I guess she was trying to build a relationship and then lay it on the line I mean she emailed me everyday to talk about her this is really bad for a breeder because how do you know when someone is serious now adays or if you are just talking to someone who is fantasizing lol I just wanted to share with the people who congratulated her on her new home

| oh I am so sorry for you and little Ferrari! I really thought she was going to have a new home for Christmas. I am sure she will find her permanent home soon though.

| I am sorry that she did not find a new home before Christmas. I am sure she will still have a loving Christmas there with you. I know she will find a loving home soon.

| I am sad that the lady was not upfront in the beginning... I guess she thought you would cave or something with the price. Don't worry, good things come to those who wait! She will find the perfect home soon!

| That is sad. She really thought you would give in because "it's Christmas" good grief! It is the season where we spend a lot and some have begun to get low on cash, but a deal is a deal. She probably was fantasizing, or testing you. Ferrari deserves better. I hope you find a home worthy of her.

| So sorry this happened to you & your beautiful puppy, start asking for a nonrefundable deposit one is not as likely to change their mind

| What a beauty little Ferrari is. Things work out for a reason. I'm glad she finally came forward with the truth. Had she gotten the money together think of the life your little one may had had. No proper food, perhaps no vet visits when needed, when money is tight a pet should never be added to a household. In the end they are the ones who suffer. Wish I were ready for another. Ferrari is a beauty. I can't seem to move forward with that decision. Her forever home is out there somewhere. In the meantime she get's to stay home for Christmas. |

YT 500 Club Member | Thanks everyone I feel so much better I love you guys and glad you can relate I was so happy for ferrari and not so much the sale but because I thought she would have a family for christmas and the lady seemed so genuine and honest that I wanted to believe her she talked about how she adored ferrari and emailed me everyday I never even suspected that I needed to pressure her for a deposit even though I usually ask to make sure theperson is really committed it goes to show when you change up and lighten up some people will take advantage I should have noticed the sign when she asked if I could include the shipping which was not a big deal if I wanted too but. I totally think she tried to befriend me and hope that I would just want anything for ferrari since I told her I was glad she would have a new mommy for the holidays but if I wanted to just give a baby away I am sure I don't need any help with placing her for free lmao. And you guys made a good point who knows what else she would have saccrificed. If money is tight you should not buy a puppy espescially my little brats they expect good food and lots of treats and toys and they like having there own beds the last thing I want is one of my babies to be placed and I have to worry about if they are being cared for properly I figured since my prices are reduced drastically a person can pay for shipping and anything I decide to do extra is just because I want to do it for the puppy but again I am rambling so let me stop lol thanks for reading

| Indiah I just started readinig this and I am sitting here crying like a baby at work I can't stop crying because I personally know how loving your babies are. (It was probably for the best).People bring these babies home then dont realize how expensive it can be if anything goes wrong. At least she is home with you for the holidays where she is Happy and very loved....
