| Puppy Give-Away Contest?? I received a strange email recently. Wondering if anyone else got the same one and what do you think of this? It is from LitlbitWraps@cox.net and announces the next "Puppy Contest" where they will be giving away a puppy valued at $1000 in return for advertising "Scott's Puppy Palace" on your website, facebook or myspace. I had ordered and received excellent puppy wrap diapers and belly bands from the originator but am not at all happy about this latest email! Using a live puppy as an advertising gimmick makes me sick. Could the Puppy Palace somehow have circumvented the Puppy Wraps email address for their purposes? Are the two in business together? I did go to the site that sells the puppies and they appear to all be cross breeds with advertising capitalizing on things like "teacup, tinies, famous customers, designer puppies, etc...." I have not been on Yorkie Talk much lately but thought someone here might know more about this.

| Is this for real? I have never heard of a puppy give away. I would be concern that it is going to a bad group of people. |

| I know that the littlebitwraps website belongs to someone on YT...but I have a hard time believing that they would be involved with a horrible website like that.

| I know -- I had ordered from her before and figured that is why I ended up on this mailing. Maybe she will see this post and answer if she has affiliated with the Puppy Palace. If so, hope she reconsiders!

I know there are a lot worse things going on in this world but this just struck me the wrong way today. Puppies as contest prizes just does not seem right!

| I don't think giving away a puppy is a good idea. Who know's what type of family they may end up with.

| Could they have hacked her site and gotten her contacts from her email? Wouldn't think she'd be involved in this promotion. Scary!

| I don't think she would do that, she's not that type of person. I will PM/E-mail her and ask. P.S. I've ordered from her so she has my info to, but I did not receive anything like this. edit to add: I don't see anything on her website about it but I think she just switched over how her ordering process is handled and wonder if it's related, like spam????

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Eeek!!!!! I Am Sooo Sorry!! I am so sorry to any and all customers and friends that received this email. It was not sent from them but from me directly. Again I am soo sorry. I get these emails every month or so and I meant to send tis copy to just a couple people and i must have accidentally hit the wrong send box in my address book!!! Again, I am so sorry! and it will not ever happen again. I am not affiliated with them and I was forwarding it to a couple friends that I had spoke to on the phone about this. I have never heard of anyone just giving puppies away either. It must be a mill or dealer of some sort. Please accept my sincerest apoligies if you had received this email. It will NOT happen again. Blessings to everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!!
