My Baby DJ's Play area when @ work!

[jencar98]

While the idea that if we "play nice" with the OP, she will be more likely to stick around to seek our advice when this puppy has problems in the future, is a nice thought, I don't know if that matters. The OP has failed to take, ignored, not acknowledged, one bit of good advice given so far, what makes anyone think the OP would follow advice given in the future?

Thank you Misty for telling it like it is!

She has acknowledged with she doesn't want to hear it. Even the advice of hyperglycemia, coccidia, feeding instructions, problems that very well could happen while in transition. As you say if she's not willing to listen to advice on very real issues, she's not going to listen to anything.

To the OP, if your sweet little one makes it to you alive, please see a vet first thing and also keep reading on all topics here and in your books.

I raised a Yorkie once from 6weeks when I was in high school, and it was a lot of work but rewarding and he was fine. I was gone 6 hours a day but home at lunch and it really did work out. he was healthy and potty trained fine, just a great dog. He lived to 15.

There are lots of helpful people here and lots of support, you will find it, please stick around and good luck with your sweet baby.

You are right, Mary. She needs good helpful advice. Unfortunately, the OP has been give tons of it and refuses to acknowledge these posts. I just can't support what is happening here.

I just can't even digest all of this.....

My kids got bigger than I thought they would LOL But I still love them . Andy as bigger than the breeder told me he would get .I don't care he's my boy regardless

To be perfectly honest, I really don't give a flying monkey's backside if I hurt someone's feelings in those types of situations. In fact, depending on the mood I'm in on any given day, I might actually WANT to hurt someone's feelings. Maybe if enough people are blunt, then the next person will refrain from piping up and bragging about their disregard for adivce and the well being of their dogs. IMO, it wouldn't be a big loss.

OP... WAKE UP!!!!!! We already try to help you in other threads too. I am starting to feel real bad for the puppy... This is NOT a good start and you making things worst just because you can't wait to have him... That's just not ok...

Here's a thread on a 7-week old puppy, I'm not posting it to be mean, I think the OP needs to do a little more reading and research. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...k-he-sick.html

I don't come on often anymore just because of threads like this and if you search you can find plenty just like it.

If someone takes offence to that they need to look in the mirror and ask if they are perfect and know EVERYTHING and if they do then they would be kinder. Maybe everyone should sit back and think before addressing issues if it does make them angry.

I stand by what I said 100%.

I disagree with you. I don't think anyone on this thread is trying to offend the OP just to be mean. She's received plenty of advice on SEVERAL different forums, she's chosen to ignore it. THAT'S why people are giving their opinions on the situation.

The reason people aren't saying "Congratulations on your new puppy" or being as nice as you've suggested they be is because of the existing circumstances that many of people that have posted on here know about by now, through the OP's other threads.

No one is being offensive they're simply being frank. I've looked at her different posts on other forums and even after people advised her against getting the 6 week old puppy she posted about how she didn't want a yorkie that would be over 5 lbs. That doesn't seem like someone who has the puppy's best interest at heart, it seems like someone who's looking for a new fashion accessory. If she really did agree to take the puppy off of the breeder's hands to give it a better life she wouldn't be worrying about the puppy staying small to begin with !

You can't really expect anyone to overlook the fact that she's never owned a dog before yet she seems to think that she can take care of a 6 week old puppy by buying him a cute shirt, sticking him by a window for 9 hours a day and leaving a radio on. If the OP decides to leave yorkie talk because of advice that she didn't like then that's her problem !

I feel very bad for that puppy

I remember this thread very well, Nancy. This couple got their baby from the wrong place and he passed shortly after they brought him home. They came across YT while trying to find help for him. Fortunately, these people were willing to listen and opened their hearts to another baby that came from a much better place. The new baby, Bruizer, is about 16 months old now and his parents pride and joy. But they will never forget their first yorkie, Buster, and how he suffered because of someone else's ignorance and greed.

I know, but it's a good example of all the tips we can give, and yet with a puppy this age, things can go down hill rapidly.

I'm glad you thought to post it. Hopefully the OP will read it and realize the importance of the message.

I hope she goes back and reads it too. I wasn't a member here then
and I just got through reading that thread. It was so heart wrenching
to read and if that doesn't get her attention nothing will.

Why can't everyone just give good advise on how to care for the puppy instead of scaring her off?

We YT oldies all know the rules on selling and raising yorkies but it doesn't stop the fact that a 6 week old puppy is going to a new home and the poster is asking for help to make it work.

HELLO YORKIETALK PEOPLE BE NICE FOR ONCE!

These type of posting scare people off and do no good in the long run.

NATNATT - good luck with your new baby and I hope you enjoy being a yorkie mom......

I agree.
It happens over and over thats why many threads get closed and the newer members leave.
I do not agree with the puppy being so young, flying it at such a young age and it being home alone for so many hours. but many members are coming back stating the same things over and over and its not helping the matter. it will only make the person leave and thats not going to help this pup. but thats nothing new.
Many members have great advice but its the way they post it that turns these threads so ugly.

Why will he die in the home he is in now? He has survived for the past 5 weeks. What about the possibility that he might die on the plane?

Getting him from a breeder who is sdo unethical that they are willing to break the law, what makes you believe that ANYTHING she has told you is true?

People who lie are liars. they will lie abut anything and everything.

I wish you and your puppy the best of luck. But I feel that in trusting this person, that you are making a huge mistake, that you will live to regret many times over.

Sometimes sugarcoating helps, but in this case where the OP is complicit in breaking both state and federal law and risking the life of this poor puppy, how can we support her?

If I knew the breeder or the flight, I would happily report her.

All pets crossing state borders, with the exception of guide dogs, are required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to have a rabies immunization and valid health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days of travel. If your pet is traveling via cargo, or if you are a breeder, dealer, or research facility transporting a dog, the health certificate should be issued no more than 10 days before departure."

I believe they waive the rabies requirement for small breed puppies. None of mine had rabies shots when I got them.
