Healthy weight for a miniture yorkie?

[red98vett]

wow - long thread and varied responses. Can we look at this whole thing in a new light ? IF we ALL said the same things and kept it sweet and light this site would be

1. Very boring

2. Not very informative.

To me ...what makes this site good is the many many people who have opinions and information to share. We can't expect everyone to always have a happy answer.

I know this has been discussed before....but with so many different personalities - it's going to happen again. Sometimes we see posts and they make us really scratch out heads....our feelings may come out in how we post....

The bottom line is 99.9% of people here LOVE yorkies so much at least they're taking the time to reply.

If someone comes on here asking for advise - then they should be able to take the good with the 'not so' good - sometimes things may not be said in the way everyone wants to see it - but sometimes the information is GREAT and it's only the way it's presented that people take offense to.

What we have just witnessed is not a new occurence on this forum. I have seen it before.....I was even on the receiving end of such an attack. I never even got to defend myself....because I was immediately placed on suspension. At first I said the heck with this forum. Then I thought NO why would I let some really rude and stupid people run me off. I am older than dirt.....so the insults kinda bounced off me!!
Even after this young lady explained herself re: her idenity...the attacks continued. It is absurd! I have a 16 year old son and he is NEVER allowed to reveal his true idenity on the internet on a forum such as this. NEVER!! If his father or myself discover he has broken the rules....then his internet access is denied. WHO else but a teenager would put 90210 as a zipcode!! It's probably the most famous zipcode in the world!! I'm sure this child is in a "pickle".....she must obey her parents. But she may be really worried about her dog. For Gosh sakes.....we are all sitting at a computer keyboard.....it is realy gutsey of some of you to make such judgements. Can't you just except the fact she asked for HELP? What the heck does it matter is it's a SCAM or not. What does it matter? You profess to love the Yorkie....and just maybe there's a Yorkie in need. Until you KNOW for a fact IMO it is inhumane for someone sitting a a mere keyboard to make that judgement call. I only hope this dog does not die...because we ran her away. Heck maybe she has parents who are not willing to help her....afterall didn't I just read about someone's HUSBAND on here that does not love his dogs.....didn't I. IMO....some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I think you need to remember "do unto others as you would have them to do unto YOU!"
Just my humble opinion.

I think that some of us who profess to be yorkie lovers tend to become a little disturbed when we read something like this. I made my apology publicly to her and to everyone ealier today. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25624
It does not change the fact that I was upset for this little dog. I could care less about the zip code thing. I was upset for the yorkie. I believe that some people shouldn't have pets in the first place. They purchase them and when something goes wrong they wait until the last minute to do something about it. This was upsetting to me. I was out of line in a few things I said and I let my emotions speak for me. Does this make me judgemental? I think it makes me human. I became emotional, I commented on what I read, and I regretted it in the long run. Not because of what you think or anyone else thinks, but because I realized that I could have handled it differently. I too hope this little dog doesnt die and I was upset that someone would let it get to this point before asking for help. I admit that I was wrong in my wording but I also feel at the same time that maybe the owner needed an eye opener. My apology to her and to everyone still stands but my feelings are the same. I have learned that I must bite my tongue in certain situations. I am glad she asked for help. But I felt this was the wrong place to be asking in a situation as advanced as hers. I am not ashamed of myself for coming un-glued about a yorkie who at 20+ months old lost so much weight and a drive to a vet clinic wasn't made lots sooner. I am ashamed at the wording I used to state that fact. Your statement "do unto others as you would have them do unto YOU" is very true. I'm sure if I had posted something like this that alot of you would wonder what in the heck was wrong with me. I can only hope that LittleMissChloe will understand where I was coming from in time and that I am very concerned over these little dogs in general. I've been in a really bad emotional state for a couple weeks in my own personal life concerning my own yorkie and I let my emotions speak for me on this thread and I have learned a valuable lesson. Thanks,

HMMM I know an offer was made to send you a premium food but maybe you are not allowed to give out your address. Maybe you can ask at your postoffice if it can be sent general mail in care of the post office, to you. I know my small town post office wouldn't have a problem with this. Give it a try anyway

Just my humble opinion.

It does matter if it's a "scam" or not. Some of us dont' want to sit here on YorkieTalk and waste our time responding to bogus posts from people who want to rile us all up. I think that some of YOU should be ashamed of yourselves for being so naive and gullible. Who cares about someone's husband on here disliking their dog? How is that releveant? All just my humble opinion OF COURSE. So many things have happened on YorkieTalk where people have lied and stretched the truth and have done a lot of other dishonest things. I was sixteen years old not too long ago and I don't think this person is sixteen and has a sick dog. There are too many red flags that are shining bright (like some other posts on YorkieTalk by certain people) that say that no one should waste their time arguing with each other. This is exactly what the original poster wants - a fight. Thank God Lily's Mom tried to solve the problem right away. I wonder if the thread starter is going to act on all the advice or sit back and laugh at us.

I would hate to think that I was just put through the ringer over a SCAM so I have to agree totally with you on this Kristy.
