You've always called, and I couldn't care less about a paper trail. In fact, I encourage text to everyone calling me to have a trail to go by.
The truth is you called the day before the post, which immediately I texted that I was in an important meeting with the Sr. Crisis Center, and would call you back the next day.. which I did before I was alerted to the post. I also called back after I read the post, because I was so shocked that you had posted. I had no idea you were upset, and you knew I had a female about ready to send. Which is also insulting, since you know I would never send inferior quality to anyone!
I was supposed to ship this female last Monday, but you decided to wait since you had puppies due May 3rd, so we were going to ship after the puppies came. You said you'd call me when they were born. I'm at a loss on how to make you happy.
When I found out you were sick with the same issues that I have, I offered to sell this female for you. However, a quick sale is a pet sale. Since I sell my pets for less than you sell yours, I'd have to make payments on the balance.
I've offered you a refund, or I've offered this female. I don't know what you're wanting of me.
I'm trying to work with you, but you continue bashing me. I'm really sorry it took so long to get you the right breeding female. I'm just sick it has come to this. |
Ladyjane's distortions and flourishes have made me really ugly. She twists everything I write into something else and I feel I should come on and defend myself.
Some of what you say here is true, some is not. I stopped trying to communitcate via email when you kept responding to emails with phone calls. I switched to the phone for communication with you. Sometimes you answered my calls, sometimes you ignored my voicemails. Now you say you replied to my demand call with a text. I don't use text messaging and never open that ap except once in a while by accident.
I'm pretty sure I let you know I was upset when you sold to someone else a female you'd promised to me last year. You said the reason was that her back had roached and you felt that rendered her unacceptable for my purposes. Why on earth did it not occur to you to contact me then and explain the situation? I was making kennel and breeding plans around her. That might have been a great opportunity to discuss a partial refund.
Think back to when this all started. I originally paid you for a young adult female and an interest in the litter of puppies she was carrying. I told you then she would be my last dog as I was winding down my kennel and preparing for retirement. When I contacted you about when you would be shipping her and my share of the litter you informed me half the litter had died though I was welcome to a male of the two surviving puppies. The dam, Lily, had had eclampsia and was looking frail, possibly from diabetes. Again, I learned this by contacting you, not you reaching out to me. Nevertheless, we decided there was no point in you shipping me a non-breedable female, and I didn't need a male puppy. I even sold the male for you from this great distance. You placed him with one of my referral customers for the price I was getting. In retrospect, I should have taken him myself, but I was still hopeful this would work out and grateful my life wasn't as complicated as yours. Months turned into years and this recent missed communication has culminated in this mess.
To clarify, after the original YT post you did phone and we agreed you'd ship a female puppy last Wednesday. The travel nanny had to reschedule and I requested a postponement due to a litter due. It's pretty much a day trip to the airport and back and I didn't want to be away from home.
I'm quite ill and putting my affairs in order in anticipation someone else will have to take over at some point. This transaction with you was the most complicated of all. My sister was less than supportive when I said I was paying another $450 to ship a puppy here now. You've never offerred a refund though you did mention you might if your circumstances changed. What makes ladyjane think I can sell your puppy for my price? There's always a chance of that, but right now I have puppies of my own breeding to sell.
Anyway, Lulu's babies are safely here and I just received oxygen tanks to drive around with so I can go to the airport without involving my sister, so please call me about that.
If ladyjane really wants to help, she should stay off this thread until it's over.
