Janell - I'm really sorry, too, that you have been cheated and lied to and lost your money. You'll get your reward for being so kind hearted...
I don't involve myself in these kinds of threads cause I don't like talking "behind" people's backs, but this one...
I unfortunately am one that trusted her, too. I bought one of the pups she was selling. I had talked with her on the phone and e-mailed many times... I thought she was a sweet girl... one with problems, but sweet. I do try and trust people, too.
I drove from MN to OH to get the pup. PepeMint... she was probably late to your house cause I was late getting to where I met them...
- sorry!
I drove 16 hours that day. Anyway, the pup was dirty and had dried poop stuck to her butt. I half bathed her at the hotel and gave her a long bath with Minksheen when I got home.
My home didn't get infested with fleas, but I treated her right away and I think I am the only one who got a few bites...
I had asked Alycia specifically about fleas cause I really hate them and have a "thing" about them and she assured me that the adult dogs had one or two fleas but the pups were fine - that she had just had them to the vet and they were on a preventative. She said she had made sure that the pups didn't get fleas.
I was so disappointed when I got the pup... I asked Alycia to bring some of the pups food so I could slowly transition her to what I wanted to feed her and she didn't bring any at all. She had promised to get a harness and a tag for the pup and she didn't do that, either. It's a good thing I had brought an extra crate and food along.
I stopped at a very kind "someones" place to stay on the way home and am SO thankful that she didn't get any fleas or anything in her home... I would have felt horrid if she had. (I don't want to mention her name, but YOU know who you are!
)
So far Skyla is healthy and happy. She seems to be shy around certain men, which makes me wonder...
She loves to play with my other dogs and is really sweet. She does go on potty pads when I don't get her outside in time, but the carpet has seen it's share of her pottying too. But that is my fault, not hers.
She was also supposed to bring me the bows I had ordered and paid for. She didn't bring those either. I ended up using the Paypal dispute and got my money back eventually. Like someone said, it was only a small amount compared to the $600.00 you lost.
I really hope you can get your money back... it does take a toll when we follow our hearts and get so burned in return. Like I said, your kindness has not gone unnoticed.
I hope Skyla stays healthy. She really is a sweet dog and she so pretty.
Sugars Mom.... Alycia had told me about you cancelling the sale of the pup to her and how unfair it was cause of all kinds of things I won't mention. She almost had me pitted against you - until I found out more about her and met her. Then I was very glad you had not sold to her.
I felt like I was doing a resuce with Skyla instead of buying a pup after I got her. I was glad to get her out of those living conditions.
This has been long, but I guess I needed to get it off my chest... we have all learned another hard lesson but let's not let it make us distrust ALL people... just be EXTREMELY careful and wise in the future.
