hmmm Please keep us posted, i for one would like to know. Do you think she would take the time to send the pictures and all with her email? I would keep trying to get a hold of her and just ask.

troubletb · 07-29-2005, 07:03 AM

Were the pictures you guys thought you saw, the ones that where on the Yorkie calendar that Brownie's mom made??

I think it's really weird that there is a pic of that Yorkie with a Scottie...

Looks like this:

Hmmmm, that really is odd. Doesn't sound like the average scam. However, running on and on about testing is really weird. I have no idea what kind of testing she is even talking about. Personally, I haven't seen that Scotty on YT before.

Hmmmm ... this is odd. Keep us posted if she e-mails you back.

babi1542 · 07-29-2005, 07:17 AM

This is puzzling! I thought she had PM'ed you not on your private email. How did she get your email addy. Wow now that is weird. Well on the brighter side, you do know that we have a couple of good detectives here on YT and they have have done a very good job in the past, so maybe they can help you now, mind you they are not real detective but we do call them that here.
Gosh keep us updated, strange!

Looks like this:

I compared the pictures, and those are two different Scotties. That is such a cute picture with that little Yorkie next to it though! The first Scotty is older/bigger with ears further spread. The other one is has a recent date printed on the photo so it isn't when the first Scotty was younger/smaller.

I've replied back twice still no answer....I am confused some, but am not worried because I have made my friends here aware

crystalsmom · 07-30-2005, 04:57 PM

I don't know about this. Do you know a Julie?? I'm the first one that would want
to help someone but when it comes to getting a dog you will have the rest of
it's life, I would ask alot of questions. I also would ask the name of her Vet so
you could call. ( be sure to get the name of the Vet's office so you can call and
know it's really a vet you are talking to when you call) I've seen so many crazy
things with puppy mills. Maybe she has a sick dog and she can't afford the
vet bills. I don't know what this is about but it certainly sounds strange. If
she had 30 people who wanted it why would she be emailing you. Let us know!!

I am a Julie and there is another Julie here at Yt, however, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the person's real name. In the first place, a puppy picture like that and the dog would be SOLD because someone thought it was so cute or because they felt bad for it. The person is emailing a bunch of people with the same photo even though the dog would be getting older and older. Anyone who has puppies knows that 3 weeks makes a BIG difference in looks (which is atleast the last time someone posted the exact same picture on here that came in their private email). It is a scam for the soft-hearted animal lover. It's like someone planning to rob or kill you because you stopped to see if they needed help with their car trouble. Setting out to take advantage....premediated heart/bank damage if you ask me!

Oh yeah, they're definitely different! I just thought it was funny to see another Yorkie with another Scotty...

P.S.-- I love that avatar.

goldcupmom · 07-31-2005, 04:53 AM

I'm a Julie, too, and it didn't come from me. I agree it looks like 2 different Scotties. It just makes no sense that she/he would send you that email.

Hi!

I was forwarded your address from Julie K about a Yorkshire Terrier. It is with much hesitation I am doing this but I am left with no other choice. I have a 2 year and 11 month old Yorksire Terrier that needs a new home. I just had a baby 7 weeks ago and this is just not going to work. He is NOT good with other animals or small children. Do NOT think your pet(s) or children are an exception because they are NOT. He has never bitten anyone maliciously nor another animal but he has nipped my husband in route to attack our other pets. Therefore, I cannot run that risk.

Jax needs a caregiver that will give him LOTS of attention and take him on walks. He has been trained but needs the reassurance of training at times. He is a GREAT companion and will make a super indoor pet. Jax is an inside dog, plain and simple. If you are not intending on keeping him inside then this will not work for you.

There are a few stipulations as well. Please know that I will check out your background to make sure he will not be used for testing. I will ask that you pay a nominal fee to insure that he will not be used for testing or will be given to a testing facility. I will also have you sign a contract that if for any reason things do not work out with him, you will return him to me so I can place him in another home.

Jax has been neutered, has all his shots up to date, flea and heartworm treatments are current and he also has pet insurance. This isn't much but I believe it is worth mentioning that we believe he might be developing a cataract in his left eye but our vet says it is in it's early stages and not an issue to his health.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do so, please, only contact me if your serious and your intentions are for the best well-being of this animal. I have had over 30 responses so please, only contact me if you can meet the requirements and are serious.
