She met Alycia in Ohio at a McDonalds on their way to Tennessee to meet PepeMint. They had no food or water, the pups were dirty and stunk, and they had flea bites. I told Alycia at the time that I would not post on YT about their condition but I chewed her out royally and told her if she intended to breed she'd better get her act together. I was so disappointed in her because she made promises to me that she did not keep. Besides the money for the pup, I sent her $100 for gas and incidentals for the trip to Tennessee. I felt that since they had nothing, I could make the trip a little easier for them. She told me that they were using the money from the pups for this vacation trip (car rental etc) and for a downpayment on a stud dog from another YT member. She also told me she "gave" Lilly to Love my Jake (I'm sorry I don't know your name). I was very angry when I found out that she took money from you.
So now that I realize the extent of her dishonesty, I am going back on my word to not post on YT about the pup's condition - you all already know about her living conditions, so I'm not telling you anything new. Someone did PM me that I should reconsider buying the pup, but the money had already been sent and spent and my daughter was so excited about getting little Maya. We didn't realize Alycia's past was so dishonest.
I befriended Alycia during the "blanket/treats" problems she was having and thought I had met a young woman who needed some counsel and mentoring. I spent hours and hours IMing with her, listening to her struggles and offering advice. The distressing thing for me here is that she used my deep faith in God to foster a friendship based on lies. I'm horribly disappointed in her and shocked that she would treat other this way when the concept I had of her was a young mother who through no fault of her own was living in tough financial circumstances. She kept assuring me that both she and her husband were looking for work.
Enough, I'm not saying anything helpful here. I just wanted to try to explain my actions and apologize for enabling Alycia to make money and then spend what should have rightfully been yours. I'm very sorry. |
You have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about! She had me fooled too. I knew she had some financial problems, but I didn't know how much she lied. I can tell you one thing for sure, she did NOT give Lily to me. I paid for her!! From the beginning when she only thought Lily was blind in one eye, she quoted me the price of $100 for her. After she found out she had Hydrocephalus, she said she didn't know what to charge for her. Since I had agreed on the $100, that is what I stuck to. I would not have just taken Lily without paying for her. It makes me mad that she said "gave" her to me. Just another one of her lies.
