But believe me, this is NOT the thread to do it...to voice your opinions. Do you know why? Bc Michele admitted what she did wrong & she knows what she did wrong...you doing this here just makes you look bad.

Yes, she admitted to her mistake that's good. That doesn't make it okay though, it doesn't get her off that easily. We take these dogs into our home to give them love and make sure they are well cared for. That didn't happen, and because of that the dog is suffering and can't take care of the puppies. We don't really know if the puppies will even survive, the dog had to undergo a major surgery as an emergency. We just don't let these things happen, it doesn't matter how remorseful we are in the end, how would YOU feel if you were in the dogs fur? ( or shoes, if you put shoes on them...) not very good.

Michele made a mistake... We are all human mistakes happen... And she feels guilty that it happen so she came on the site to post for others to learn from her mistakes... So please explain to me how kicking somebody when they are already down makes the situation any better??? I do know it just makes the kicker look like a rather cold hearted person....

Actually no the Admin does,can and may ban you from being a member of the forum. That is why we have rules to follow. Such as no personal attacks or name calling. But what happens to your ability is not up to me. It is up to the Admin.


Sometimes when things on the forum make us very angry,it is a good time to close ones computer and find something else to take up our time. Until one can cool off and speak in a civil manner.

Just to be clear - snarky, attacking, and utterly mean-spirited comments ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE. Free speech is NOT a guarantee here as this is a privately owned board by the Admin of this site.

It is also NOT ALLOWED to attack someone's writing skills or 'education'.

ANY further comments of this nature will result in a suspension or permanent ban.

[MarkFromSea]

The way I look at it, you've stepped into the confessional, confessed your sins and now you are absolved. Your penance is to raise your pups the best that you can.

IMO, you really haven't sinned, so, go in peace.

Hitler was a bad man, you are not. I recommend that you ignore the negative and focus on the positive, comments.



I'm a bit alarmed that only professional breeders seem to think it is their domain to produce puppies. It seems quite elitist. It smells bad.

Spay and neuter your pets, husbands, wives and children. There's too many of us!

If anyone needs a refresher as to YT's rules, they are here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...uidelines.html

Members are welcome to state their opinion in a respectful, calm manner. If they are unable to restrain themselves to state their opinion in this manner, they need to either step away from their computer until they can, expect a suspension/ban, and/or find a different forum.

THANK YOU.

Do you think I'm angry? I'm not angry at all. This is the problem with communication over the internet, you can't assume you know the tone of the person. In my first post actually, I wasn't in my head as I was typing it out trying to be rude at all, I was just stating MY REASONS why I decided to spay my girl, which the OP took personally and insulted me with a very rude come-back which is what started it. I wasn't thinking in my mind ''oh I'm going to be a big baddie and piss this person off just for the hell of it!''

I don't care if I get banned, or have my abilities taken there are other forums I go to where the people are much nicer and there is less drama, less people with their problems and honestly, ever since I joined here I've been really let down by the over all attitude of most people here which probably contributes to me being so stand offish. If I really wanted to, I could just make a new account here anyways but honestly, I wouldnt. The community here is very dramatic, depressing, and there are too many people on here who feel the need to educate people in a way it isn't appropriate or warranted. My first day here, I thought I made a couple of friends. What I found was a couple of snobbish, rude, mean ladies with know-it-all syndrome. I'm sorry if that left a bad taste in my mouth, but I see it here constantly and I'd welcome a ban at this point. I've also seen people bullie others then go on to be hypocrites here when they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Okay, fine. Count me out of it.

Then why are you still here?

[JuliannaB]

Please people, if you are going to post a reply... have a heart, and do it with respect. Really? who wants to hear thoughts of someone spewing venom?? There is something to be said for being diplomatic. Really, would you feel good if someone spoke to you like how you have spoken? Really - I don't need an answer, it is a rhetorical question. I have not read, nor do I intend to, any further posts of a person who attacks! I have no time for that, as I find this a waste of my valuable time Enough said on that subject from me, as I have already spent too much time on it. Yes I know, no one asked me to, I did it on my own. I concur that Admin. should do something about people who are all too happy to attack!!! I will, however, be anxious of updates on this pack and will be checking in. Please don't stop posting because of a few who are negative and attacking you. I truly hope that all works out well for you, that you have helpful support and that others will take heed of your reason for posting. Big hug to you

There's a definite clique-y feeling here. I've noticed it and I've been around for quite a while, although my post count is low. I chalk it up to them all knowing each other better than they know me. No one's ever been rude though... Except for you one day when you posted in my thread where I was joking about divorcing my hubby if he left the gate open and my baby got out. I believe you called me pathetic. I didn't say anything out of the way to you, and I ignored you when you did that, but I don't think you can blame everyone else. You seem to want drama and search for it. My thread was a happy one until you got there. :-/

Just my 2 cents.

Well, I don't know actually. There are times where I say to myself ''I'm never going back to that site.'' I have learned a lot here, and I try to help people with potty training because so many people seem to have problems/struggle with it and I share my experience ( have a pup that was trained by 3 months old! ) so that people can not worry about it and enjoy their dog to the fullest. I have met maybe 2 or 3 nice people here, which to me is kind of sad seeing as how big the community is. I think you were actually the only one ( could have been another admin, but you seem familiar) to have welcomed me here when I was new. Just seems like a bit of an unhappy forums, with lots of unhappy people. That's all I've seen since joining, just drama, drama, more drama.

Best of luck with the puppies... and praying for a speedy recovery for Allie.

Did I call you pathetic? I recall not actually saying anything to you but saying it was pathetic in general to treat a dog better than a person and went on to give a story of why I felt that way. I have very differing views from a lot of people on these forum boards, I'm not the kind of person that babies my dog, dresses her up in tutu's, puts her on a pedistool and humanizes her. A lot of people here do that and it gets on my nerves. I'm sorry that you misunderstood my post.

I appreciate your honest response. All forums will have some drama, passion, hot threads, hurt feelings, things that go awry. It comes with any community, and we're no different. The good here FAR outweighs any bad, at all times. It's just that 'bad' always feels 100x more magnified than the good. If we focus on the negative, that's what we'll see/experience. To me, the negative here is a kernel of sand that is within an entire beach of positive things that happen here. That's merely my take/opinion though. I hope you're able to see things in a different light, bc this board and its members have a lot to offer.

I JUST joined and I remember that one..... obviously humorous turned bad... due to "pathetic" response. I see some posts and just roll my eyes rather than diss someone who pampers their pet to what I view as excessive. This is a yorkie forum.... the people here LOVE their yorkies! It's all good!
