she said she was not feeling well, so I hope I am not going to regret writing this post..I do hope she is ok.

but i'm sad that I didn't get to enjoy her opening her box and sharing pics of her gifts. Did she not like what we sent?

has anyone else had this problem?

I probably shouldn't be posting this...I would hate to hurt her feelings..but I just kinda feel jipped, I guess.

and again...I do hope her illness is nothing serious...that would be keeping her away. I would just die if I posted this and something was really bad wrong. I am praying for her health right now!!!!!

Please read the rules in full before you sign up. Thank you.



5. Shipping and Receiving - Please allow 1-2 weeks shipping time! If you are participating, we are putting all our trust on you to get your buddy's gift and to send it out on time so that your buddy on the other end and their Yorkie will not be waiting for their presents for too long! It is in your hands to ship it and since we are all trusting each other, please do not forget to ship it out! If you do not ship out your gift, you will be held responsible for it. Again, this is based on TRUST so if you believe that you may not be able to ship it out on time or that problems may arise, please let us know as soon as possible! If your buddy does not receive their gift for any reason, you may not participate in the next Secret Buddy Gift Exchange and there may be other consequences as well!

6. Sending Out Your Gift - For every installment of the YorkieTalk.com's Secret Buddy Gift Exchange, there will be a set deadline. This deadline has to be met and your gift must be sent out before the date. You will have approximately one month to send your gift out. Please send your gift out within this time span (Remember, keep in mind the approximate amount of time it will take to get there!). We completely understand the inevitability of complications or that crucial personal problems may occur. If this happens, please notify us by PM.

We can help you find alternate solutions to have your gift mailed out or if, early enough, we can withdraw your name from the Participants List. It is only fair that you send out your gift in the allowed time window because other members may use their best judgement and send out their gifts a month in advance. We believe you have the ability to do the same also.

7. Receiving a Gift - Your buddy has put a lot of thought, effort, money and time into your gift. We believe that the least you can do is thank them. Please start a thread in the YT Gift Exchange Forum after you have received your gift so that your Gift Giver knows that you have received the goodies. It shows your buddy that you appreciate it and also lets us know that you received your gift so we know who or who did not receive their gifts. This is a requirement of participating in the Gift Exchange.

10. Not Receiving a Gift - If you have not received your gift within 2 weeks of the posted deadline, please PM us to let us know. There will be action taken. It is not fair to you if you have sent out a gift and did not receive one in return. YorkieTalk guarantees that you will get a Gift per Gift Exchange as long as you follow the rules. Every single participant in every single YT Gift Exchange thus far has received a gift.

This will allow you to participate in the YT Gift Exchange as long as YT does Gift Exchanges. We require this now because there are certain former YT members that DID NOT mail out a Gift in previous Gift Exchanges while they did accept a gift. This is totally unfair and unjust, especially with all the effort, time, and energy everyone in the Gift Exchange has given.


12. Consequences - We want to keep the fairness in this Gift Exchange and we want everyone to have fun! It is not fair to send a gift and not receive one without any actions taken against the participant that decided not to send a gift.

If any of the rules are broken, the participant will have their YorkieTalk account temporarily suspended for 1 entire week. If you do not send out a gift, you may be banned from YorkieTalk forever. We do not want this to happen to anyone and that is why we stress that you contact us as soon as possible if anything occurs which prevents you from sending out a gift.

Also, if you do not thank your gift sender or break other Gift Exchange rules, you may be permanently excluded from YorkieTalk Gift Exchanges.



It's not ok - she's broken the rules. So unless she's been laid up in the hospital in a "coma" since day one.... Please let Admin know so that she's not allowed to do this to "anyone" else.

Sorry this happened to you - it's so disappointing!

ps - I couldn't put the whole quote in because it exceeded the amount of space I could use.
