Oh no! Good detective work V. The spy girls have trained you well.
I missed that thread.
I check on this little guy daily hoping she finally found help for him.
The nerve of some people! What is going through her mind?
Use the money to get the care Tahoe needs, NOW!:mad:
Forget a new puppy!

No I didn't see Tahoe there. He was only admitted the day of his MRI. He stayed over that night and Kasia picked him up the next morning.

I have to tell you that the Long Island Veterinary Specialists is a major hospital. It is on the service road facing the Long Island Expressway, Route 495. This road is the main road that runs the length of Long Island. This hospital is also a teaching hospital.

Anyway, I have been there 4 times and each time I have been there ALL the girls at the front desk knew Tahoe and his story and just felt so bad b/c he is paralyzed. And yes VERY KIND people, including myself donated money for his MRI and just so you know, Kasai and her husband ALSO paid a good portion of the bill as well. I was told that they apparently sold some things to put towards the bill.

Just some background information on Kasia. She immigrated here from Poland, so her communication (via computer) skills are not as polished as the rest of us. So, sometimes her wording and sentence structures aren't the greatest.

Look, I don't know her personally, only through this whole ordeal. Tahoe is possibly getting an acupuncture treatment on 5/12 and Kasia invited me to attend his 45 minute session with them, and yes I do plan to go.

I am trying to get in touch with her now to find out what she really meant by her post.

Lol Carol - it wasn't me and I know I sounded like a jerk - but I swear - when we see people needing help we WANT to believe it....but if the situation is SO dire they couldn't afford medical care for one dog - how can they even think of buying another ?? that makes me question where the money went now.

Your absolutely right!
If this is true I hope all breeder's see this and do not sell any puppy to her!

I saw that first thing this morning and couldn't believe my eyes.:(

I thought---"How can you afford a new yorkie but can't pay for the care of Tahoe?"

I am more confused and saddened by this turn of events.

lets not all jump to conclusions here. Let TLC talk to Tahoe's mom and see what's going on.

Thank you. I just left Kasia a message, she is working now and probably can't call me back until lunch time.

I spoke to her last night though and she really sounds like a sweet young woman. She is trying to do what she can to make Tahoe better, this I know to be true. Also, ALL Donations made went directly to the hospital, no money ever went to the family.

Again, I just can't believe that she actually came on here looking for a puppy for herself, I really just can't accept that until I speak with Kasia and aks her what she meant, b/c you all are right, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

Hello everybody...... I have mostly been a lurker here. I try not to get involved in a lot of heated disscussions. But this is something I must step in. Tahoe's mom started a thread looking for a little boy.... to which I responded... then I looked to see her history of threads and discovered Tahoe's story. I was a bit disturbed and astonished with the timeline too. Because this is sooooo recent.
BUT.... and I really HATE to do this..... but I feel that the good people on YT should know the truth... and I was thinking of PM'ing you but ofcourse it would take too long and I didn't want anybody else to be swindled anymore money.

THIS WAS HER RESPONSE TO ME..... word for word... I didn't change anything.........

I seen that cute boy you have and love him but the price range is out of ur pocket...we alredy have 2 yorkies and we can not spend that much on 3-rd puppy...Im sorry I wish I could
Thank you anyway

I am officially at a loss for words.

i just caught onto this, and i am so glad tahoe is doing better and on the road to recovery. we're praying for a safe recovery and keeping him in our thoughts :aimeeyork way to be a trooper tahoe!

Well now, this is very upsetting. I wish I had some answers as to why this has gone this route, but she hasn't called me back yet.

This whole thing has consummed my life for the past month, as did many, many others. We did get Tahoe his much needed MRI, and we were under the assumption that if we didn't help, he wouldn't be able to get it done. For the sake of Tahoe, I am very pleased at what was accomplished.

I don't want to say anything yet about how I feel about Kasia UNTIL I speak with her first and I want her to tell me what this all means, then I will comment on how I feel. I just don't want to get myself upset before I personally hear an explaination.

...and I will of course share everything I know with everyone that has been apart of this whole ordeal.

I got crucified for questioning in the original post about Tahoe. I have NOT posted on any of Tahoe's or her posts since then.......

This really saddens but doesn't surprise me if it were to be a scam.

Nicole...... I think you did a great thing. I DO believe there is a sick dog named Tahoe BUT I think she just wanted OTHER people to pay for the medical bills. Regardless..... I am sorry to all you nice people.

She deserves to explain herself. Let's hope she calls you back soon. I am very sorry this has consumed your life for the past month :(

thank you. That clears up that question. So the new puppy IS for her. :(

when people donate to a urgent cause they sure don't expect their hard earned money to be covering the purchase of a new puppy for a complete stranger. This whole thing is just wrong.

This is terrible and it is the reason you cant trust what everyone says on here

I totally agree. I still haven't heard anything yet, but I have already become quite upset, as I know there are so many others that are persoanlly involved in this. This has just ruined any 'wonderful' thoughts I had about myself doing good deeds. Gosh, why on earth, why, why, why. I just don't get it. She knows how involved everyone is in helping Tahoe b/c they couldn't afford all the money for his MRI. She told me last night that she contributed to his bill (which I have the print out to confirm) and that's all they could come up with.

I am at such a loss for words, I am sooooooo saden, I just can't even collect my thoughts anymore :(

Nicole... don't feel bad... you know why? Tahoe still got treatment. LORD knows if she would have done anything for him if you didn't step up and help out! So don't feel bad. What goes around...... comes around......
Continue with your good deeds.... because you are a good person and Tahoe has you to thank.

Thank you very much. I truly only jumped on the "Tahoe" bandwagon, b/c I just felt he needed help and since I was so close (Long Island) that I could truly make a difference. I will always have a place in my heart for Tahoe.

Nicole (TLC) - you did what any person with a good heart would do, you put yourself out there and trusted her b/c a furbaby needed help ... donot feel bad aobut doing a good deed.

again since we do not know exactly what is going on but it is fishy ... it is her shame not yours for doing something bad.

Nicole ....anyway you cut it - YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE

don't let it get you down. IF there is a Tahoe and the donations really did go to his care ...that's what counts...but at the same time - this is the kind of thing that makes people question what's really going on. I know I sure am and am done with it. None of us wants to hear a dog can't get help due to lack of money - but I'm sure people didn't expect these same donations to be going toward a new dog either especially when the injured dog is still alive and needing vet care.

Thank You Everyone.

I just want to get to the bottom of this, b/c of all the people that worked so hard, they don't deserve to be manipulated (if this is the case)

I will be in touch shortly.

oky .. just read 14 pages of posts
 

Nicole - you are an amazing person from the beginning of it all ... the info, advice, and help you offered was more than any money amount could do. knowledge is more powerful than money i think ..

many things DID not add up ...

1. the house - she said she didn't own a garage/house but then later says she has a huge mortage b/c she just bought a house.

2. said that tahoe is paralzyed but then later says he's moving 3 out of 4 legs, will walk with 3 legs soon, and lifts his head. that doesn't really sound paralyzed to me .. at least to the extent that she made it sound

and last but not least

pple of YT - you all are amazing pple, who have big hearts. its wonderful to be a part of such a group of pple.

I'm just now seeing this...all I can say is ..Oh no :cry:....... no one involved in this should feel bad, your heart was in the right place...& you can never fault some one for that, you just showed your compassion, caring, & trust in your fellow Y.T er.....if there really is a Tohoe then at least you accomplished what you set out to do...helped a very ill yorkie.....I still would like to reserve any negative comments until Kasia has spoken...don't want to assume any thing...but I must admit there are big red flags waving on this one.....

I am at such a loss for words, I am sooooooo saden, I just can't even collect my thoughts anymore

It is no reflection on you in anyway. Your instint was to come to the aid
of someone who needed help and you did. My hat is off to you for your
compassion. Tahoe would would give you puppy kisses if he could.
We can't control people and how they think unfortunately.
You certainly are owed and the others who so willingly gave from their
hearts an explaination why there was a post for another Yorkie when
med bills can't be met for their sick pup!
I see she can't pay much for another however whatever the amount
is they can afford should most diffinately go to Tahoe's care.
I hope she can give you an explaination so you can put yourself
at peace with this whole thing.
Don't stop being you because someone may have burnt you.
Other's may not.

Kasia,
I left you a V.M. and I also PM'd you.

Please respond:
You honestly owe a lot of people and explaination as why all of a sudden it seems that you are looking to purchase a new puppy. There are so many people that stepped up to help Tahoe get his MRI. You should probably start to repay those people if you now have money to spend on a new yorkie.

I am very upset by all that has come about since we last spoke.
Please tell me why this has gone this route???

It just doesn't make sense...this site is not that big where you could get lost in the crowd....why would some one post a thread about a sick yorkie in one thread & post another thread asking about a new one :confused: ...I just find it hard to believe she didn't think any one could see it...that's why I want to reserve any judgments...until she has a chance to explain.....

TLC - Please don't feel bad about helping!! You are very special to do this. It is not your fault. Poor Tahoe is getting treated and that is what was so important. Who knows whether he would have been treated or not if you hadn't tried to help. I am concerned what might happen to him if this does turn out to be a 'not-so-honest a situation'.

Archie, Thank you for the very wise words.

I know that in my heart, I was able to help Tahoe, that's really all I set out to do. I know that no money that was collected went to the family, only to the Hospital. So, I do feel good about that.

But like you said and others too, that if all of a sudden there is some money, and it might be the smallest amount of money available now, it should go to caring for Tahoe first. He is 1.5 years old and had a stroke, with proper care and theraphy he could walk again. I know he has made some minor improvements.

I feel like I am in the 'twilight zone'. Gosh, I never thought in a million years that I would log onto YT and have this transpire.

All I want is Tahoe is to well taken care, if the family has lots of excess money now, they should repay those who stepped up to make the MRI happen ASAP before worring about getting another yorkie.

Yes, I totally agree! That's why I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone!

If you guys only knew what has been going on behind the scenes. I've talked with Kasia on the phone and so has other people (like everyday). No one ever got any bad impression of this family, otherwise it would have never gone this far. That's why I am at such a loss for words.
I just can't understand this all, it makes no sense :confused:
