Ok, are you saying that a member here ""true reviews is a scammer or a liar?

Willow, I'm so sorry things didn't work out for you and Lexie. I don't know the whole story but it seems like you were lied to. I wish you the best of luck and I'm sure the perfect little fur-baby is waiting for you.

I don't see it as a scam but more of a saga....Willow was the one person who stepped up and offered her home to Lexie & I think at the beginning it was sincere that Lexie would go to her.....maybe too many people got involved, or Lexie will be sold and not re-homed ....but the bottom line is people should be up front and honest in how they deal with YT members.

I tried to not get too inquisitive but Pensacola is right next door to my town -- in fact, I bought Ben in Pensacola. So, I would like to know what the scam was. Was there no evil Pensacola lady trying to put Lexie to sleep? Are they trying to get more money for Lexie? Is Lexie actually in poor health? I know I probably sound like a nosy biddy prying into this, but it is too close to home not to want to know.

I am so sorry for Willow who only tried to help get Lexie back to Andrea and then offer her a home. I am so sorry for Lexie who seems to be without a loving home now and maybe ill? I am also sorry for anyone else who might fall victim to a scam.

Thats what I bet she is planning on doing with her selling her

I am sorry you didn't get Lexie, I read the original story from when she was sent to the animal shelter, then back to the orig owner. I lost track after my daughter was in the hospital. I am :confused: now because you start this post with no particulars. I am sorry you didn't get her for whatever reasons, but there are honest people here. I feel that you must want to get it off your chest as you would'nt have started this post. I would hope that you could help out some of us "honest" Yt'rs so we can be warned. Not asking you to go thru your entire story as I'm sure it is hurtful and makes you angry. I respect that and can only imagine going thru it. It would just be nice to know what we should be looking out for. This way we can warn others who missed the original posts and may miss this one. It's not fair it happened to you and shouldn't happen to anyone else if we can keep each other educated.

Well I have been trying to understand whats going on. and I to prob seem noisy, But Im just concerned. I know theres two sides to every story and was hoping this other member would come and post. Willow im so sorry you got hopes up and was let down. and Im hoping Lexie finds her forever loving home. and I hope and pray that shes not sick.

That's what I figured. She inquired about my little male that now lives in Texas, then said she couldn't afford him, yet has purchased two others. She has a thread in the nursery. I am so glad my guy didn't go to her. he has the most wonderful home he could have e.ever had .

Andrea is on here now

Thats why I would never sale a Yorkie on any Forum. You dont get to meet the person who is taking in your baby's and thats just to scary.

Hey...Wait a minute...
 

Just to be perfectly clear I never lied to anyone. I fully planned to take Lexie to the vet yesterday and she is sick. She is going to a vet today. She is not terminally ill and I am getting heart sick by this slamming me by someone who claimed to care about Lexie but couldn't call me about her before posting bad things first! This is horribly unfair! Lexie is sick from stress and stress alone! I am taking care of her and I did consult a vet yesterday. It just happens I ended up seeing another vet. I should not have to explain myself because I am still Lexie's owner and getting phone calls by someone other than Lexie's owner upset the vet which I did tell you when we talked on the phone. The fact is that no one should be calling my vet checking up on my dogs! That bothers the vets which I clearly explained in my phone call. I was already told by one vet because of this very thing and I told you this on the phone Alycia. The vets complain to me later and it gets me in trouble with them later.
I was told that lexie needs to try stinky foods before I put her through the further trauma of blood work in the other vet because they feared it would make her worse so instead of taking her there (to the planned vet) (and the mere fact that my first vet appointment ran too late caused me to miss the second one) created a different situation for me. Had you Alycia called me on the phone or e-mailed me you would have heard the story from me first hand but instead I get to read these posts about me here. So to be completely honest you are correct in your posts. You are not getting Lexie. But not because of me lying to you before because I promise you in no way did I do that!!! I never did! But because you could never trust my word. You wanted to judge me and assume that I was dishonest and tell the whole world this without asking me for a truth.

You felt the need to tell people that I am a horrible person after the horrible things I have just been through and I trusted you! I cannot send my dog to someone who would do something like that to me! I went through the worst nightmare of my entire life to get Lexie back and I would go through more than that to protect her now and I would just assume keep her with me forever than let her go anywhere ever again now. I am so sorry that anyone thinks I am a bad person! I truly thought this was going to work out but I keep getting judged when I try to do the right thing and I am the one who keeps trying to do the right thing! The fact is that everyone else comes out looking like the good guy in this! I went to save Lexie! I drove to protect her! 14+ hours! I drove this! I never slept! I never ate! I couldn't think...I couldn't breath...my heart hurt...I felt like my child was being held captive and now I feel like everyone thinks I am some munster because people never get to see what I have to say in situations because I try to be too nice about it! Well the truth is that I am doing everything I do for Lexie and this bashing me is not fair because I have NEVER lied!!!

Oh and I am not in anyway a puppy mill!!! That is soooo not fair! You know nothing about me! I do not breed! I do not do anything harmful to my babies here! I am not selfish! I am doing these things to protect my sick baby! I am being unselfish to keep a sick dog here and not sell her! Would you sell a sick dog? I don't think so! Do not judge me because I am not selling her while she is sick! I would rather she stay with me forever and be fixed than go to someone when her health is at risk! Do not judge someone you do not know! I love these babies like they are my own children and I would just as soon keep her now than let her go to someone that does not trust me! I love her! I only wanted her to go to a family that could spoil her before because I have tiny doggies and she is bigger...not because I have too many doggies. I am not a breeder and I am not a puppy mill! I am horrified by this treatment from people I respect and think a lot of! What is going on guys?? You don't even know the whole story...You don't even ask me anything and you jump all over me without a second thought! Is this how this place works now? I never thought this is how this place would be! Come on! You all used to get the whole story now you are just assuming things. Please take the time to think before you write things that could seriously hurt someone!

And to be 100% clear Lexie has a loving home with me here! I love her! What makes everyone assume I don't love her! Everyone posts they want her to have a loving home! That hurts! I love her! I never would have done what I did if I didn't love her! That just plain hurts! I wend all the way to Pensacola FL and back for HER! I did it all for her! No one else did it! I did! ME! I did it all for the love of her! Please understand! This makes me sick! I am keeping Lexie! This is over! I love Lexie and I am tired of being judged in this painful and hurtful way! I like all of you but you clearly do not understand if you think this badly of me ! I am not a scammer! I love Lexie and I did all of this for her!

According to what she has told me, she did not pay for either of those puppies..they were gifts from a friend...

I have kept all emails that were passed between us but unfortunately I cannot show proof of things she said to me in phone calls. We talked nearly everyday about how Lexie was doing and she seemed genuinely happy that Lexie was coming here.

Then she posed a question to me about drawing up a contract....I was not giving her money for Lexie, but we had agreed that I would give her an AKC male from my Maddie's first litter (once she is old enough to be bred) and if I didn't follow through then I would either have to pay the $500 asking price for Lexie or return Lexie. She said she wasn't very experienced with drawing up contracts. This was Saturday.

So I did some research on Sunday and pulled up what I thought was an acceptable contract, altered it to meet our agreement, and emailed it to her. Within the hour (or so) I had an email back from her saying Lexie was too ill to travel and she may need IV Fluids and bloodwork done and that I needed to postpone my trip down there. I was upset and a little rude in my reply because I had already reserved the rental car to go down there. (and I was looking forward to the weekend trip, but that is a selfish seperate issue).

Monday I called the vet that I was told has been Lexie's vet since she was 12 weeks old. They told me they knew nothing about Lexie being sick. I then called Andrea and she told me I had called the wrong vet and gave me the names of the vet Lexie had an appointment with and their sister veterinary clinic where she would have to go if x-rays were needed. I then called those two clinics to confirm Lexie had an appointment. Lexie did indeed have an appointment for 4 pm.

I called this morning and the vets office said Andrea never showed up with Lexie for her appointment.

Im glad you came on and posted. many of us didnt know the whole story. I was not judging anyone, Because I just didnt know what was going on. I do feel sorry for Willow, Because I know how much here threads showed that she wanted Lexie to be part of her Family and you could tell she allready loved her. Im sorry Lexie is under so much stress and she does not feel well. Maybe you should of held off on buying the other puppys because of her being under all that stress. I know bring a new pet into my Family can cause stress at first. and dont be upset becaus eof this, Im just thinking about Lexie. Im glad you love her and that she is in good hands. But this is the internet and some times we dont really know the person behind the name. all any of us want is to know that Lexie is in good hands. so thank you for posting.

What I am not understanding Andrea is you say you do not breed,but in your original post about selling Lexi you state you can not breed her she is not standard. I am confused about that.

I asked her on the phone yesterday if the new puppies could be stressing her out and her answer was no because Lexie is kept in the back room away from the new puppies and she isn't around them.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you're not getting Lexie, Willow. I know how excited you were to be getting her. :(

willow i pm'd you

Me too! I'm sorry you are so disappointed about not getting Lexie. I know you put a lot of time and effort into bringing her home.

It's a shame it didn't work out.

I think all parties have been through quite the emotional trauma.

First, Lexie going through what she did with that buyer,

then Andrea going the extra mile to save her...

Willow wanting to be her new mom and visualizing this in her mind,

but it is not to be and that is a heartbreak for Willow.

We all want what is best for Lexie.

It is sad to me that a dog has to go through so much in such a short time.

I lost my Molly Muffins one month ago and I cannot imagine her going through any of this.

The question I wonder is why Lexie did not see her regular vet for the new issue?

I always thought it important for the vet to have a familiar relationship with my girl.

That way when something out of the ordinary occurred, they would better be able to make a judgement, because he really knew my girl.

Molly saw the same wonderful vet her entire life. When she was diagnosed with liver cancer, we took her for a second opinion at the Michigan State University Oncology clinic. They reiterated what our regular vet, and another associate vet in the same office had alreay concluded. In all, 3 vets gave us the same opinion.

I don't understand taking a dog with a health issue to a new vet who has not seen the dog before. Especially if the regular vet is available. But I am sure she had her reasons.

Let's have some faith in Andrea. She has gone through the fire for Lexie.

I do not breed at this time because my doggies are babies. I would ONLY ever consider breeding if I had a local confirmed buyer and my standard girl was big enough but I really don't want to breed at this time. I am not a breeder. I had a plan to raise studs one day. Not breed females.

I am learning as I go and I might not ever breed I have never actually had a litter. Lexie was almost bred by Romeo by accident which was a scare but lucky me it didn't happen...and was a false pregnancy and I was educated about the standard after this. I now know more about what I want to do.
It was my understanding that Alycia had also planned to breed Lexie and I want to say that at this point I do not think that Lexie should be bred. The vet is going to have lexie spayed.

I truly don't understand why all of you feel the need to be upset with me for I have never lied to anyone but I cannot change the way that you feel. I like all of you and I am sorry if you chose to think badly of me!

As the actual owner of the dog I should not have to explain myself in such a way but here I am again because my friends who have been so nice to me before are thinking I am so mean now. Why do you all just assume I am not now? You never give me a chance. You all just assume I am bad?!? I want Lexie better. How do any of you know what is actually wrong here? You read things and say I am mean or cruel or and now. Why? You were all very nice before. What is going on? You know everyone needs to take a serious look at this forum! I cannot believe this! I never get on here and judge people! I never do this to any of you guys!


I get on here and always post nice things to all of you! I get on here for help! I am always honest with you and now without a chance to find out the truth you immediately jump on me! You quickly do this too! I just don't get it! What did I do to any of you? I have done nothing! I have cared about this yorkie! I cannot send her away sick! That does not make me a bad person! So what??? I didn't get in touch with anyone with in a few hours to update a vet status and now I am a horrible person. Geez...I have been treating a sick yorkie who is suffering from stress! Did anyone perhaps think I didn't get in touch with anyone because I was treating the dog? She was more important to me??? Did that perhaps cross your mind? (And I mean that nice too!!!) I am just saying here I have been doing a lot. I cannot do much more. I don't know what anyone expects from me. I cannot get online and call people. I told Alycia to not call my vets! I said it bothers them. I made the choice after missing the appointment the appointment to find an alternate solution for Lexie and guess what it appears to be working.

I am treating her. She is my top priority. But the decent thing would have been to call me if she had been worried onstead of bringing this here.

Now I am asking that all of you please stop all of this. As my friends please stop because the thing you are not considering is that you are really hurting me here! All of you are hurting me! Do you realize this! I am crying! Serious tears! I am a human being! With real feelings and these feelings are being hurt! I wanted Lexie safe! I wanted things to work out! I really did!!! But this is not right! This is not fair! What you are doing is not right! Please stop it! I was ready to let anyone know anything but this is getting out of hand! You don't let me say anything before you attack me!

You Alycia should have called me! And the rest of you...Please stop this! You know me from before...or at least I thought you did! You were my friends...I didn't do anything to hurt you!
~Andrea

oh my! I can't believe I am just reading this! how sad:( what happened?! am I going to have to go kick some butt???

I'm sorry for all parties involved. I'm sorry for Willow that she won't be getting Lexie.. who she clearly cares a lot for.. and I'm also sorry that True Reviews feels attacked and is upset.

Andrea I am sorry there have been some things said that hurt you. I think people just knew Willow was hurting and they were comiing to her defense. I think this is just a big misunderstanding. But i wish you and Willow could work this out for Lexies sake

I think all of this could and should have been handled before bringing it to the boards. Maybe it's about time we close this thread?

I am not biased as I dont know either of you. I feel bad for both parties involved...and I think there was BIG misunderstanding and sometimes we jump the gun without thinking before we post. I hope you two will work things out...life is too short girls...try to get over the hurt and talk to each other..you both want a loving home for Lexie and maybe this can work after all...Im sure you two got along up until this point and Im sure you can again. I really want to see this work...come on girls lets forgive and forget pleeeease.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Actually, when I talked to them they said I wasn't being a bother at all and I feel I had every right to talk to them since in our agreement I would have been giving you an AKC male puppy from my Maddie as you had expressed that you really wanted to get into the AKC's. As a breeder, I would not let a puppy go to a home who's vet I had NOT talked to.

I think it's always important to get two sides to the story before jumping the gun and passing judgement. I don't know the parties involved (though, I did read the original post about poor Lexie's ordeal), and looking at this thread objectively, it does seem like people were making assumptions. Seems like things didn't work out due to a miscommunication - only the two parties involved know all the details.

Sorry to hear that Lexie is under so much stress. I hope she recovers quickly.
