Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | To ALL Members of YT both new and old.... I just wanted to say that everyone on this site should be very proud of themselves. I've been posting a long time on Yorkie forums...I remember when this site had less than 10 people and in the time I've been a member here - I think I've pretty much seen 'it all'....And my opinion hasn't changed one bit -this site ROCKS. With the diverse and many many members here - I just want to say that in times of need....you ALL jump in with your hearts. I was so proud of the outpouring of compassion for Cindy - who just lost little Madda....and the Missing Josie. You all were just awesome. Every once in a while - we see someone say this site is known for being judgemental (and a few other negative things) - I just want to yell to those people that they don't have a CLUE as to what this site is about. They need to stick around and see what REALLY goes on here and that includes BEHIND the scenes - There are far more positive things shared here than there are negative. Those are few and far between. This site is way more than a few people - it's a whole LOT of caring people who really do love yorkies and care about their fellow members. I've met some awesome people here and hope everyone has the same positive experience I've had for these last few years. Some people know how sick my husband is - and there are some days I just want to crawl into a hole and cry - but I can come on here ...read a few threads or look at cute pictures - and I forget all about my problems for a while. Anyway - I just had to say that. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | And.....There is to be NO laughing at my hokey post - I just had to say that today. I'm not usually so sentimental - but it's been a bad week - and thanks to YT - I did manage to get some serious smiles in.....especially after the Josie Thread |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Great post, Ms. Sensitive! I agree with everything you said. Even though a lot of the names and faces change, YTers always seem to look out for each other.

| I totally agree with you. A while ago when I was rehoming Parker I got some very negative comments and some harsh words from a few people. I almost left this site and I would have regreted it sooooo much. There are by far more great people on here than there are a few who are not so great. I had an out pouring of pm telling me not to go and that just to ignor a few people. There is so much love and compassion here on this site. If someone is in need we are all here for them. How good that makes a person feel!!!! Great post! |

| Aw you are so sweet and you go above and beyond to help everyone. I have found myself smiling at many of your posts. I agree I love it when everyone comes together when someone loses their dog or their dog is sick. You really feel an outpouring of emotions. I think if all posters would give this board a chance they would see the good outweighs the bad.

| hear, hear,hear I don't post often but I read the forum every single day. I learnt more here since I joined than from many books I bought. Sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh but most of the time I get educated. At first I thought that there is a "tight circle" of people here who know each other and completely ignore me when I asked for help. Well, I got over it and stopped asking. I also changed my mind after receiving some PMs offering to help me. YT is a part of my life now and I depend on it every day. It's a wonderful site and it feels like a family now.

The same goes to people who may have received some replies they took offense to - ALL IN ALL - people here are nice - we all have different styles & different ways of saying things...you just have to shake it off and keep posting. For every few posts that may be negative - there's hundreds more that are positive. | |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Great post Villette! You are one big reason this is such a great place. You are always the first to offer help and your posts are always so kind. I know that you didn't post this for that reason but you are the best. I received some great support through Cali's early months when every other week she was sick, I knew I could come on YT and share my concerns and get support. I have made a very special friendship through YT and met for the first time last week a fellow YT member who I hope we can get togetherwith on a regular basis.

I agree with Patti , Villette is one of the reasons this place rocks... I am became a member when I got Gucci, two years ago. I felt it was clickish at the begining not knowing most.. But Villette always makes people feel welcome... This has been a terrible week with Madda's passing , Josie missing and Gucci being diagnosed with liver shunt. But through it all I found comfort here.. I did leave an thank you post in the sick and injured post, but no one saw it...lol Anyway I want to thank you all for being there and special thanks to Kim and Patti for making me understand this disease better and knowing that there is hope and the babies can have a good qualility of life afterall.Vilette I will send the rest of the pictures on Monday.. Thank You! Gina and Gucci oxoxo | |
