Exactly BE CAUTIOUS PLEASE To all those wonderful, warm hearted people who love to help, just remember that not everyone is honest It's sad but true

Just seemed a bit presumptuous for a new member.

ETA- It was post 52

I felt the same way and reported the post. I believe admin is watching this thread closely

I'm sure he is and I sure don't envy him. Now what will happen is that the OP will get very mad and then a few others will get mad that anyone ever had anything less than 100% faith. Then people will get mad at the OP for asking for money and then getting an attitude. This same exact thing has happened so many times it's crazy. Imagine if we had started a fund for every person who has had a sick dog, real or imagined. I really wish people would just use this forum for education and emotional support.

WE ALL HAVE FINANCIAL NEEDS BUT YT IS NOT A BANK Not that I would ever hand my hubby's hard earned money(ARMY, so you know we dont earn alot) to this lady

my thoughts exactly ... and the "friends if Natalie" fund is a joke ... on all of us!!!!

[yorkiegirl83]

I'm not in a position to make judgement on anyone else, but I do believe caution should be used on an internet site whenever donating money unless you somehow personally know the person.

I would like to think that if I needed help, YT may reach out and help if they could, but I would feel highly uncomfortable asking for that help -- I hope that makes sense. But, if I was asking for help I would supply any and all relevant information to make sure that all knew my claim was valid. Not saying this will not be done -- just adding in my .02

I think that while I have no place to say what another person should do, I agree that I would most likely try to give the newly purchased puppy back to the original family. If there is no money for Natalie's care, and if it was a strain to purchase the new puppy.. it seems like another accident waiting to happen if this new puppy(or any other dog in the home) should get even a minor illness, financially speaking.

I've only seen Dena be a nice person on YT and I'm not passing judgement here at all. I just also don't understand why the new puppy isn't being returned to get the funds to pay for Natalie's care...

I totally understand what all of you guys are worried about. I am a bit skeptical too. You know that I always am after that Sarah girl did a great number on us a while back.

I am going to continue to keep Natalies Sale Thread Open and do what I can for little Natalie. It is something small that I can do. Call it the Christmas spirit or whatever you wish. I have very little money right now and understand that vet bills are high. Geeze I just had a litter of 5 with an emergency c-section, one had to stay at the vets for a week on 24 hour care, medication and all that good stuff. So I fully understand.

I do hope that she posts the vet bill so that we can see the care that has been given and I will continue to pray that Natalie gets the help that she so deserves. She is such a doll baby.

Natalie's Mommy - I hope you don't get mad by everyone being cautious. There honestly have been a lot of members on YT that tried to scam others - I can think of three members right now with well over 1000 posts that everyone felt like they knew that ended up scamming other members. Some of them made up some very realistically-sounding stories. From the time you've come onto YT, I've seen nothing but love for Natalie...you've given some great advise for other new members that posted threads about wanting tiny yorkies. Everything about you so far has led me to believe that you're a completely honest person that loves her babies as the rest of us do.

I do have to admit though that seeing that ad with the mix puppies for sale (for quite a high price) has made me a little wary. I think the best thing you can do is to be completely honest and answer any questions that have come up and fully explain what is going on. I know I would like to know if you actually have more than 4 dogs (2 yorkies, shihtzu and maltese/yorkie mix) and where these mixed breed puppies came from...if they are your roommate's why is she breeding these mixes? You said all funds of the house are shared...so that leads me to believe all dogs all shared in the household as well...and I'm just wondering why you would list the puppies for sale and not her.

Also you did have quite a few products to sell recently. Buying all those products to begin with would have cost quite a bit of money. A couple times I've seen people in need of money sell some of their own dog's clothing but not even close to the amount of items you sold...and most of those items were brand new.

Anyway, I want the best for Natalie and want her to be as healthy as possible. And if you have nothing to hide (which I hope you don't) I really do hope you'll explain everything and stay on YT. No one is trying to make you angry here - just want some explanations. I've really enjoyed you being on here and love to hear when Natalie is doing better.

Then her dog was dying from smoke inhalation and just really big tall tales. That girl should write books.

More of an emotional abuser then anything else.

I was wondering the same thing No money for vet care but tons of "brand new" clothes to sell and charms and more?? Tinkerbell and Chiquito haven't had a new shirt in a while because we are financially struggling I haven't even bought Oreo and Teddy their own shirts, but she has Gracie which costed a pretty penny and other 3 dogs and is selling more dogs for 950 each?? I smell something in the air..................but I sure wish to be wrong

I have donated to people on YT before. Usually not a large ammount. Once I gave $50.00 to someone who is not new, and is very respected. I never got any kind of thank you. Unless you count a public post to thank "everyone." I thought this was pretty strange as this person makes cards as a hobby.The point is, give if you want to help and dont expect anything, even a thank you, in return. Give if your heart tells you to, then feel good about it and let it go. If the person isnt honest, it does not diminish your gesture. I still feel good that I gave in the spirit of helping someone in a bad situation.

I realy hope poor Nat is getting the help she needs and my heart and prayers go out to her !
About someone saying we helped that elderly gentleman getting a pup (you all know who i mean ) it did not take long to see his words came straight from the Heart and we all felt his pain... i in my older yrs listen to what my gut says and feels, and helping him felt so right, but have to agree with some of our older members, something is just not sitting well here....having a sickly tiny baby that has soo much need...and adding another and not having the funds for the just in case is just not sitting well with me. I just realy hope she gets the help she soo deserves so she can live ! My Prayers are with her !

[hha]

This is the first I've read any of this post..I'm giving my 2 cents worth! First of all, I wish ya'll would STOP on this why are you breeding mix dogs?? This is a persons choice! My sister made that choice, everyone is an individual, if they choose to breed yorkie/malteses or anything else they want to breed, that is their decision!
Now, as far as this baby goes, this is why I don't understand why people want these tiny little 2 lbs babies, yeah, they're cute, but, they tend to have a lot more health problems! If you can afford a yorkie, then you best be sure to have money back to take care of them when they get sick..If you have this kind of money to buy them, then put some back for all the big medical bills you can be hit with...you don't go and get another one if you have a sick one already! Yes, that money you paid for another yorkie should have gone towards Natalies vet bill...I helped one person out one time, I didn't know here from Adam, but her dog had got run over, she had pictures of him, and I called the vets office and talked to the vet, checked him out online, then sent $100 to a vet to help pay for this womans dog! I hope you don't lose your baby, but, I also hope you get your priorities straight!

You know what??? I'm really not sure what I even want to say to all this..... but I wish that all of you could feel what I'm feeling at this very moment... from this banter, from the past few days, from Natalie's diagnosis... from the indecisiveness in whether to keep Gracie or send her back.... from the past weeks in caring for Natalie... (who was NEVER diagnosed with anything more than MINOR problems... never a clue that anything serious was in her future!!!!) - - - and now, from the fact that my sale threads have been CLOSED by admin...... for, "excessive bumping".... (I DIDNT BUMP ANYTHING!!) ugh!!!
All I can say is... that I think some of you should be completely ashamed of yourselves....
First off..... while I did contact admin regarding fundraising, it was a QUESTION about an IDEA................. (and as for "Friends Of Natalie" - that was an EXAMPLE name of a HYPOTHETICAL endeavor to help OTHER Yorkie's in need.... NOT MINE!!!)
Secondly - Other than that post, (which by the way was a private contact that none of you would ever had known about if I hadn't posted it here myself!!!! Yeah, I have lots to hide by doing that... sheesh...). - - but other than that post looking for information to whether it was even possible to do something like that for Natalie - - I HAVENT ASKED ANY OF YOU FOR ANYTHINGGGGGGGGGGGG OTHER THAN PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!
I didn't start comments about "let's have a fundraiser for Natalie"... I didn't say "let's start sale threads for Natalie"...... Those folks are absolutely PRECIOUS for taking it upon themselves to offer help so that we can have Nattie treated properly...... but I DIDNT ASK THEM!!
I have mentioned privately to someone (neither of these folks) about whether or not something like that would be possible in an online forum... but again.... I certainly have the right to inquire as to any ideas I like... that doesn't mean anything would come of them!!!
So you all need to get off your thrones with your "strangers coming in here and asking for money" bit, because I didn't............. but I'll tell you this much........... if it means the life of my little girl..... you can bet your bums I'd be up on the highest soapbox I could find - with a little tin can and no pride to speak of.... to get her what she needs!!!!
I realize that not all people are good...... and I understand some of this completely..... but it sounds like some of you are more concerned about "getting burned" than whether or not this baby gets treated all all!!!
It comes down to this...... it's not like you all haven't been exposed to my world at least a little.... and you are kept up to date (and some of you even act like you CARE) with Natalie's progress even before we knew she had anything seriously wrong with her..... so if you feel like you have some sort of "connection" to her and want to help.... great.... if not, that's fine too..... I don't expect a single thing from anyone here......
No, I take that back.... I DID have some expectations when I came here..... and MONEY certainly was NOT one of them...............but those expectations are pretty much shot to shreds at this point.....

Now, so as not to miss addressing any of your nasty little comments, I'll try and reply one by one................ (this is so ridiculous!)
