She wanted us to send the dog back and take her word that she would actually refund us our money. So the best that one can assume from her reaction is that she never intended to give us our money back. She also purchased 2 new dogs as soon as receiving our funds and cried poverty in her e-mails we suspected that she did not have the money to give back to us, and still do suspect that.

On another note if I were to purchase a Laptop from an online retailer and they shipped me a Desktop why should it be my responsibility to pick up, shipping, return shipping, and processing? I do believe that I stated she also wanted us to eat the vet bills which the only thing relating to travel of the $120 was a $15 travel certificate. A good amount of the vet cost was Interceptor for HER dogs. That's the same as them also telling me they could not refund me the cost of the software for the computer when I did not receive it or order it at all either.

So forgive me for not being elated with receiving back half of what I spent for something that I did not agree to in the first place. You all keep asking "Well, is Emma not your dog? How was she dumped on you." Well, no she is NOT our dog. Jasmanea NEVER shipped the dog that we adopted. She shipped us a problem that she wanted to get rid of and represented it as something entirely different. Why else would we pay $1150 to adopt a dog that the general consensus of adopt value is $300-$400. We would NOT, we were scammed.

You are all trying to make us look like the bad guys. Emma is not being abused, neglected, nor is her life in danger. The dogs are being gated away from each other to prevent further incidents but not to be unfair to either of the dogs. But this is NOT a situation that we want to live with long term, nor would it be one that any of you would.

The bottom line is that the dog has been here a week and a half. The answer is No, we have absolutely no attachment to Emma. Do we want what is best for her, yes. But that does not make me a bad person for HONESTLY attempting to offset her cost and to pursue legal recourse. Are we willing to give her away or hand her over to a total stranger? No. Who would be? Everyone was outraged that we got ripped off and now they all think we should just take it up the a$$ and hand her over to someone else. Everyone says it but I've yet to have an offer to adopt her for the $1150, pay to have her spayed, and turn her over to a rescue organization. Any member here that is seriously willing & compelled to not be a self-righteous hypocrite; please feel free to send me a PM.

Face it, if it were your money you would feel the exact same way. Which is why nothing has been done other than self-righteous bantering on this forum. Handing the dog over to a complete stranger and eating the cost of her adoption is just not realistic as much as you all want it to be.

The question remains, can you provide proof positive that the dog you received is not the dog pictured?
