If anyone is being treated rudely however, and I was personally, that isn't helpful and should be unacceptable to those who love this breed and want to help educate others. I'm not throwing stones in criticism of the entire site and all it's members! Just the ones who were out of line on a new person's very first day on the site! I'm going to do my best to get around the site and get to know people and be a good member. Not trying to be a pot stirrer. Just bringing up what seems to be a simple point is all.

Like I stated before you revealed in your first few posts some strong Red Flags.....some of them were fighting words and while I didn't see rude posts, they were pretty blunt and non-sugar coating.....you aren't the first and you aren't the last.

There have been those that have been told they were the cause of their dogs dying....hurtful, yes, but they needed to be told and they themselves have stated such.....

As quicksilver suggested I'm going to stop commenting now and ask admin to close the thread if someone could direct me on how to do that. I think everything has been said more than enough and do not want this to turn ugly like the other thread did! I appreciate your comments negative and positive and will not only take them to heart as best I can but will also continue to learn all I can about the site and the breed! I hope to see you around YT! Have a great evening!!

THAT is what the real YorkieTalk is all about - being there for one another and I wouldn't want that to change either. It is amazing just how much goes on "behind the scenes", how many yorkies are helped, and how many people are helped in countless ways.

How many YTers have sent PayPals to YTers in need, have sent clothing after a house burned, sent encouraging cards, emails, etc. when family members are sick or lost.

How many times has the unofficial YorkieTalk Train been utilized to get needy yorkies from one destination to another.

How many YTers and YT families have been helped and comforted by the power of YT prayer.

Maryeverette, if you want to know what the real YT is all about, then get involved - on a more personal level and start putting your words into action. Not to sound rude, but you are completely clueless about who and what YT is all about - and that is your loss. I have not seen one post from you that hasn't been on the threads you started. In the short time that you have been here you could have encouraged many by simply making a positive post in the picture or video thread. Or offered condolences to someone who is hurting or made a donation to help with the day to day operations of YT.

So are you really a doer or just a talker?

I reported your post for you. But in the future, you can just send Admin or one of the moderators a link. If you dont know who the mod are yet just look at the bottom when you are in one of the topic. Two are SimonandHallie, Wylie's Mom

It's probably time we all moved on .

I'm not sure who the senior member is you're talking to, Mary, and I don't need to know - but I can see that there has been some great advice here from a *lot* of our wonderful senior members and equally wonderful newer members - all of whom we appreciate so much, all of whom add to this community.

This has been a good discussion, and I do hope it's been helpful for you and has had a positive effect. We all want YT to be a great forum and I hope you find it to be a positive experience as you learn more about all of us.

WELCOME to YT .
