I just got the WORST NEWS from Maureen, the administration will not allow us to post an address to get funds from members on The Yorkie Talk Forum, I know their are a lot of people wanting to donate, however it can not be done on this site.

I am sooooo bummed, and so is Maureen, I thought if we got enough money we could hire the PI, or do a 1/2 page add in the paper. Now another road block, that I don't know how to get around.

I wonder if the people who want to make a donation could PM Maureen, and she could PM them the acct. number and address of the Bank. Any ideas on how to collect donations without going against the rules of the forum. Gosh I had no Idea that we could no do this. I wish they would have contacted us in the beginning when we were talking about it. It would not have gone so far and we would have come up with something else.

I'm with you about the Calif. area, I think we need a detailed Map of Modesto and the surrounding area. One was posted, but I can't find it again, and i have asked the members if they remember who posted it, and what the number of the post is.

I don't know where the time goes, but I have to get ready to cook for my husband and get my babies to bed. I will email after everyone is put to bed.

You are a mind reader, thank you so much for the Calif. Shelters!!!! As usual you are on it the second it is mentioned!!! You blow me away girl!!!!!! If you were in Colorado I would have hired you in a minute for my business!!!!!!!!! What do you do for a living? It must have something to do with computer research!!!!! I've never seen anyone like you that is so on top of working with computers!!!!!

Why doesnt Maureen just set up a PAy Pal account and if anyone wants to help her out in her search for Zeke they can pm her for the information. That way you are not asking for donations which is against the forum rules but people can offer to send her a gift. Its been done before on the forum to get cameras and clothes and help other Yters out.

Jeannie, are you referring to the idea I told you about in my email? We could accomplish it all via PM.

Administration answered my pm today, while I was at work, sorry I'm just getting it now...No they can not allow a site for "Viewing Only"...they said there are missing yorkies all the time, and if they did it for one they would have to do it for others, and that would not be possible.
They also made mention of the rules about donations...we can not use this forum to ask for funds of any kind.

I wonder if we could make this special for viewing summary, as a new thread. And clearly state what it is...and no comments, well wishes etc. be made and put a link to this thread for those comments, well wishes etc. I think most people will oblige. The only people that will post on that thread is those of you with pertinent information, a select few.
HIRE THE PI!!! I will pm Maureen...
Praying for a happy ending...Zeke at home with his family...Is all I ask...Amen
