Pinch, poke - you owe me a coke!:p

Its weird how you really care what happens isnt it . Thinking about it all day at work lol

It shows you're caring, concerned and compassionate like so many on here. I went to bed and woke up with Emma on my mind.

We're going to do all we can to find her the place she was meant to be. I want Emma to be a happy little girl. She didn't ask for this.

I did spend my day on the phone with the Florida Dept of Agriculture and we will be pursuing legal action against the breeder. At this point, it's not the money she stole from me as much as the principle of the matter. I do have a copy of the complaint forms and will be mailing them in on monday. I've also filed a report with my police dept and have instructions on how to file a civil suit here in Utah against the breeder. It's a lot easier to do than I thought it would be.

Big hugs to you and emma both! I hope you find her the perfect home, and have the legal stuff settled without too much stress! :)

thanks for updating us:hug:

I am so glad to hear that. Good Luck

Just an fyi....should the court find in your favor, it's very likely Emma will still need to be returned to the original owner. She shouldn't be placed in another home until the legal issues are resolved.

This is one of the things I need to speak with my attorney and the Florida Dept of Agriculture about. I'm not sure how they're going to view the situation since the seller refused to take the dog back. I'm sure the courts are not going to expect me to keep a dog that is aggressive to my dog and children in my home while waiting for a decision. It could take a while before this is all over and it leaves too much risk of injury.

Poor Emma. I hope she finds a family who loves her, very soon. She doesn't deserve all of this drama.

Did ya notice
 

Looks like the OP has been suspended. (?) I guess we won't get to find out how this ends. :(:(:(

That's too bad - A lot of people, like me, have been quietly "hiding in the weeds" following this story and wondering how it will turn out.

poor Emma, I really hope she can find the home she deserves. :(

Guys I will keep you posted on Emma,Gine has been calling me since I gave her my number a while back.I gave her the number so if she wanted to talk about Emma she could.I had offered some money and any help I could with Emma.I live far away so I can't do much.Anyway since then I have spoken to Gina almost daily and for hours each time.I really got to know her and her family and about her life and what she does.She does have Emmas best interest hear,she is just a little overwheled with it all.They went and got Emma a BIG cage so she has room to play in it.They only put her in it when they have food out or at bedtime.She says Emma is a GREAT dog just the aggression on the food is a BIG issue.I gave her some ideas and she seemed to be using it already.She wants what is best for her she just doesn't want to rush into anything because she might have to give her to the breeder if the court says so.In the meantime she gets attention from the kids and everyone else.I heard her and Teiya barking and Gina said they were playing.Gina just doesn't have the time to work on a dog with this kind of aggression and even though I myself wouldn't give up on a dog I have to understand how she feels.She is hoping by the end of this wk. she will have some answers to some of her questions so she can move to the next phase and find Emma a good and loving home.I believe she will do just that.She has promised me to keep me posted and I believe she will.In the meantime Emma is like a part of the family it is just stressful when food is around,keep in mind she has kids and you know kids they like to eat 24/7 so this is hard to do with Emmas problem.I did tell her to call around about a school that she could put her in to help Emmas aggression issues.She plans on doing this.I know in Decatur it cost 75 for a 4wk. class.

Not that it is any of my business.. But i have one question why in the world would anyone her expect her to just give up Emma or get her spayed. Im sure as all of us she works hard for her money and thought she was getting the dog she wanted.. you can look at the pic of what she thought she was getting and then look at the pic she did get and tell the breeder lied to her..Come on ladys be real here Unless you have a boat load of money no one on her would loose $1,100 PLUS HAVE HER SPAYED before giving her away... I dont know this lady but she works hard and just wants to get the dog she liked... you all need to stop being so hard on her it is not her fault it is the breeder for taking her money and lieing to her... I know whe all love our furbabies but also you have to bond with them and she dont... Good luck:confused:

Yawn...... so sorry but this debate is getting OLD.

Any bets on when THIS thread will get closed, too? Or is everyone as tired of it as I am? Have fun...

Initially the breeder offered her a refund. Gina elected not to take her up on that because she would be responsible for shipping the dog back. Now that being said...it is a far bigger expense to seek legal action....and the outcome is likely to be the same.

I don't know if you are familiar with all the posts on this topic, but she made it sound like the dog needed to be taken out of her house immediately. Remember, she posted on the "rescue" forum, not the "for sale" forum. When dog is as aggressive as she often made Emma sound, "endangering my children" was one of the comments made, it sounds like time is urgent. Also comments, such as "this dog was dumped on my doorstep", and that made it sound like Emma may not be in a good situation, and many of us were concerned for her wellbeing. So these things and many others, made us think that a rescue effort was welcome. A rescue is a rehoming, that is advantageous to the owner. Members posting in that forum can charge no more than $300.00 as per Yorkietalk rules. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ew-thread.html When someone post there we assume they are truly looking out for what's best for the dog, not trying to recoup costs, on what they think was a poor use of their money. So let's not blame Yorkietalk members for trying to help rehome this dog. She did ask for it.

Well the correct way to handle it is for the breeder to take her back and pay for the shipping .. Gina did pay for it the first time when she thought she was getting what she paid for.... Im suprise that YT people would not be upset with the breeder for lieing to someone sounds like the breeder was a back yard breeder that is in it for the money...Oh that is right guess she needed to lie so she can save her house she was loosing and god know what else... heck she cant pay her bills no wonder she took this poor lady for a ride on this sale... I am dont with this subject...:cool:

Ditto

people are upset with the breeder and Gina also. They BOTH proved out to be liars over and over again. No use in getting this debate started back up. it has been hashed and rehased a thousand times. It is sad to find out that Emma is still in this situation.

I have been keeping up with this whole story but I haven't chimed in. One thing I've realized is that everyone has their own opinion and no matter what anyone else says, they aren't going to change that opinion. I think one thing we can agree on is that we want Emma to find a loving home where she is treated like a princess not in a home where the owner sees her as being "dumped on the doorstep". So many of us are emotionally invested in this little dog and would love to know when(if) she finds a good home NOT what's going on with lawyers and legal issues.

Thanks DanicaBraggs - much appreciated.

Yeah, I think it's time for all of us to just move on.

Amanda was the Best Home for Emma until Gena had to start talking BAD about her. I came to the conclusion that she is a very unhappy person and I wish her all the Luck in Life. We TRIED TO HELP EMMA.

Amanda wasn't looking to give her a forever home,she just wanted to foster.Where is it in Emmas best interst to be in a transition home.The next place she goes to should be a forever home which is the plan.The end!

Little Emma is still for sale $650.00 PLUS Spay($400.00, they had mentioned that before) ?
