I'm sure if Admin or Wylie's Mom feel it would be better there, then they will move it.

Some of us wish very much to show support for Jodi, and I don't think I'm stooping to a low level to do so.

I haven't seen the FB page in question. I did not say you are stooping low, please don't twist my post, thank you
The way I read it, OP was indicating viscous people were talking about her on FB so why doesn't she post on FB and address it with them? Why stoop to their level and say bad things about them as well? This is what I meant in my post. I won't get involved with this whole thing, as I stated, I applied my opinion to this thread, nothing else. TX
Life is so much more important than worrying about what someone says about you on internet forums/facebook etc.If you are a good person and know it, (you, meaning anyone) and you know your friends, then what is the worry?

I don't know anyone involved in whatever this soap opera is about, but don't care to have to read about in the general yorkie talk either.
Why stoop to the same level of the people you so hate by posting all this here?
This is my opinion and wanted to express it, thanks

It's not just who said she said and a few parites involved......It involves a large percentage of the YT Membership and Yorkie Talk......

In my opinion it isn't an Off Topic Situation it's right where it should be, where everyone can view it.

Second, I think it's important because these people have issue with YT over the responses to their posts (it's an open forum how is what people say YT's fault?) they create a page against YT and then continually come back here as newbies and create new accounts to mislead people about various things...its insanity...and I'd really like to save someone having gone through what I personally have over a couple days as well megansmomma and other members for quite some time. Seriously who launches a slanderous campaign against a Yorkie rescue group for trying to help them?

I respect your opinion, as I respect everyones' right to have one. If you look on facebook you will find hundreds of pages of "I Hate" (insert person, place, thing, idea... etc, here) " and if these people you speak of are posting things hurtful, etc, over there, then they are probably getting just what they want in knowing it has affected said targets (whomever they are speaking about). Why give them that satisfaction?

Everyone (members) can see all forums here. Again, I respectfully disagree with some on this and hold the opposite opinion, No biggy. A large percentage of 75,000 members would be what? that might be a little bit of an overstatement in my opinon.

That is the reason that I posted it in the General Forum. There are TWO separate threads going on right now about these people in the General Forum and is directly related to this subject. Not only that but there have been countless "NEW" members that have joined recently posing as "customers" of these same people all being banned. Just today Concretegurl posted that someone PMed her suggesting she purchase a Parti Yorkie from one of these people. It is all very relevant to the issues at hand. If there are members making behind the scene deals then everyone should be aware of what is going on with these people.

Like I have said previously this is NOT about me. This is about the entire YorkieTalk community.

*AprilLove, I am sorry if this is troublesome to you and you disagree with my thoughts and feelings on this subject and I respect your opinion. Thank you~

You've stated you didn't like reading this so don't read it.....You can go past this particular thread on this forum, just as easily as you can go past others....

It's a matter of one of a very well respected member's character being maligned and she's setting the record straight......There are those of "us" that chose to support her...

I can understand you're opinion but, you weren't maligned as some us were and have been.

[107barney]

It's relevant because it is a calculated movement to undermine the community spirit of YT and the membership here by ex members who have been banned. This started with Karla and her dog Mindy on these threads.

The facts are these --

Jodi offered help to Karla for Mindy
Karla initially wanted help, later changed her mind
Karla admitted to putting her dog to sleep and many were saddened as a special rehabilitation option was lined up for this dog, and money was in place by YT members for this woman to fly her dog to the east coast.
Karla stated on another dog forum repeatedly that animal control was called by Jodi and another member and many believed this to be true
There were no calls made by Jodi or another member to animal control
Karla persisted, even until today on the FB page to state that they called animal control
No one called animal control - and the public record proves it.

I never needed a public record to prove it, remaining Jodi's friend through all of it, and never questioning her honesty when I asked her if she called animal control. My business logo ended up on their site because I am friends with Jodi but was removed when I notified the FB legal team of the trademark infringement. Others had their photos stolen and posted. Disparaging remarks made about YT members and their families have been going on for months. All because Jodi tried to help save a dog and because the owner wanted to put the dog down rather than take the option available to her (at no cost).

I stand with Jodi 100% and if that means I'm the last one standing, so be it.

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this stuff! It is just horrible what some vicious people can do. I hope you know you are valued here. If people won't stand by you, then they were never good friends to begin with. You're well rid of them. Hang in there! I know it must be so hard on you.

I realize some of "you" are supporting a friend, and that's what friends do . Please do not "tell" me what to read or not, as I would never pay you that discourtesy . I have only responded to those who have chosen to quote me.
Would you not do the same? (rhetorical )

[RachelandSadie]

Jodi,

I've got your back girl friend. She's a crazy nutcase and everyone knows it! A person shouldn't worry about other people turning them in so much unless they have a reason to be scared. She's got lots of reasons to be turned in for bad breeding so she's running scared and laying blame on you and everyone else that's against her. It's her being afraid and knowing deep down she's wrong and she's defensive and also nuts!!

Don't worry about it! Thanks for clearing it up and we will always back you and stand by you here!!

Btw you are a beautiful woman and Bogey and all the pups are good looking too. Sadie mite have to ask Bogey to the dance next year.

Same as 99.990246% of the YT members. You have the facts and the reputation. What does she have? Not a darn thing!

Well said!

I still can't believe she had Mindy put down bc of her inability to correctly train her. :

I read that thread awhile back. I didn't know she put the little one down... RIP Mindy.

It is important because these "breeders" are bashing the YT community as a whole and spreading slanderous lies. I think it is important for people to know what type of people they are dealing with when they go to make a puppy purchase. I personally would NEVER want to buy a pup from people who conduct themselves in such a cruel and unprofessional manner. It is all a testament of their character, which buyers should be aware of.

I just want to go on record as saying although I support Yorkie Haven Rescue, they are not blackmailing me to do so.

They didn't just post my information, they researched YorkieTalk and posted ADMINS information and "address" as well. The last Christmas Card list was passed around to members of that FB page. This is so much more far reaching than just Megansmomma.

It's about the community that we all love~YorkieTalk.
