I have questions now..... why didn't you just answer the questions on your other thread instead of making this new one? People asked there what happened to these other pups and I think you have to see why! You said you had none -- not "no more little puppies," but just NONE. I think it was natural to wonder. Nothing negative was said, the question was asked so that you had the opportunity to answer right there and clear it up days ago.

You were also asked who the breeder was that sold you this puppy with parvo and did not return your calls. It is important that people know these things. Just because they are not on here now, does not mean they are not still selling to YT members, maybe even sending personal messages behind the scenes here. I don't even quite understand how your reporting her selling a dog with parvo would have resulted in her "not being here." Do you mean she was banned or did she leave on her own volition? If this breeder is selling puppies with parvo, it is a public health concern, one that you owe others a warning about. How could you keep this info to yourself and let other unsuspecting buyers go through this if parvo is really the concern?

I just do not understand why you would not have answered people's questions in your other thread but start this thread saying things like "if you're not welcome, let you know." ???? What is up with that???? No one intimated that you were unwelcome on this forum -- so why say that? Could this be deflection? People were not welcoming or unwelcoming in the other thread -- they were concerned for a little puppy who died and two others we did not know what had become of. Nobody but Admin & the mods can rip the welcome mat out from under anyone anyway.

I have to admit, I did have a previously unasked question, that was why did you not take the little one in to the vet sooner, instead of posting you would take him the next day if he made it through the night. That sentence just resounds in my mind and breaks my heart. I don't understand it. It sounds so cold. I am not judging you but I do not understand. I was not going to ask before, in deference to sorrow, but since you started THIS thread, I can't help but still think of that question that gnawed at me. It also makes me think of this quote: "While no extremely accurate statistics are available, a good guess is probably that 80% of puppies treated for parvovirus will live. Without treatment, probably 80% or more of the infected puppies would die." That was why so many urged you to take that helpless little puppy to the vet that night instead of just waiting to see if "he made it through the night." That is why so many felt so powerless, when you nonchalantly reported he did not make it. Knowing there could have been help, just makes my stomach turn......

I do not think people were questioning ALL of your PAST postings at all. There was a definate concern over where the other two pups had gone if you had none -- that and refusing to provide vet care for a puppy in such obvious, admitted distress, were the only PAST items brought up. Better to answer questions forthright and not wait several days and start a new thread.
