I saw the thread she started that said she was leaving but it seems to have been deleted.
I didn't know Fran but it's so disappointing that an exception was not made for her to participate in the gift exchange. She had been a long time donating member and it's not even stated anywhere in writing that you must have a yorkie to participate.
I also read in another thread that someone else was denied because she didn't have a yorkie either. She became a donating member just to participate in the gift exchange and was denied.
I like YT and enjoy participating in discussions here and I thought this board was here for all who love yorkies--those who have a yorkie or dream of getting one, or to remember those that have passed. I always thought that when you became a donating member you got more "perks" than the non-donating member. I guess that's not the case. Very disappointing
