Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I stopped responding to this person a long time ago he's only here for reactions and I just hope there is no dog - I can't picture someone having a puppy and caging him for almost 24 hours a day - it's cruel...then to come here and whine and complain about this same puppy not bonding ?? or wondering WHY the poor baby is laying in his own waste ?? WAKE UP ! That's animal abuse and should be against the law. Every dog is entitled to clean living surroundings, food and love. |

| know what you mean I read most of his thread(s) and it was clear he was being snide, and obnoxious most of the time, and who knows if he really had a puppy or is doing this to be the "center of attention"...as he is getting what he is looking for --- lots of attention... so what say all YT'ers, why don't we just ignore him if he isn't banned??? You already gave him lots and lots of useful information and it's up to him and his fiance' to use it! Debbie Tea' +6 |

| Again, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. I've talked to this person you are referring to and I think he just came off wrong to everyone. He didn't want the yorkie in the first place, but he is trying his best to take good care of the little guy. He came to yorkietalk to vent. He was a newbie and didn't know what kind of reactions he was going to get. If you read the thread started by his fiance, she honestly really really cares about Tanner and I truly believe that they are doing their best to take good care of him. I know when I got my first puppy, I thought ALL the things that they are thinking right now, but I kept them to myself for fear of being ridiculed. Having a puppy for the first time is HARD WORK. Hobbs used to lay in his own urine, too. If you go back and look at the VERY FIRST thread I started here, it was about Hobbs pottying in his crate. I, too, thought "these kinds of dogs" were not supposed to potty on themselves. And, if you do a search here on YT, LOTS of people's puppies lay in their own urine. And I think the 20 hours a day was an exaggeration..........I think the BEST thing we can do right now is support them. How would you like it if they got banned? Then they would have NO ONE to reach out to for support and for quesitons to be answered and little Tanner would suffer for that. I think in the best interest of Tanner, we should all start over and all learn to play nice. Novak is not the only person to blame here. I am completely APPALLED at some of the responses from some YT members. Sorry, I had to say it. Last edited by RLC12345678; 06-22-2007 at 01:50 PM. |

I got your back 100% I've posted my thoughts on the other threads. This has been ugly and I'm embarrassed and ashamed at some of the replys as well.

| I have been here long enough that I think most of you know I am not a confrontational person at all. 99% of the time if I disagree, I just move on, I am very uncomfortable being involved in controversy. But... He was given advice nicely at first. He ignored it and just started more and more threads saying pretty much the same thing. He attacked our members personally, which I'm guessing is what got him suspended. I'm sorry but it is just common sense that a puppy should not be crated for 20 hours at a time. That is horrifying and what most of our members were getting upset about. He was even leaving him in a crate when he was home and encouraging his girlfriend to crate him further when he didn't feel like dealing with him. He is disgusting and I think we had every right to be outraged.

I work full time M-F and my 3 girls are confined in the kitchen for 9-10 hours a day and I don't feel that I'm being cruel to them. I also did see advise being given but the harsh comments seemed to out weigh the sound advise. If I was in Nodak's position, I probably would have just logged off and never come back. I'm just saying this is not the Yorkie Talk that I came to know and love. I'm not saying Nodak is guilt free, but I wonder if it would have even gotten to this point if some of the early comments would have been nicer.

| I don't care how the time is broken up, 4 hours outside of a crate a day is not anywhere near enough. That is very different than your situation where your dogs are free 15 hours a day. I'm over it though- it sounds like the situation for the little guy will improve which is the important thing and even though I think he got exactly what he derserved, I'm will to agree to disagree if you are.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I happened to see the last post made before the suspension - someone sent me the link. If you all had seen it - I think you'd change your mind on the 'play nice' posts. It was vicious and it had no business on this site at this time....I won't go into details but I was shocked when I read it and just hope anyone who's lost a dog didn't see it. Maybe when he comes back - if he comes back - he'll use a different approach and try to take people here seriously. We love dogs too much and he could get some good advise if he wanted to hear it.

I'll break it up for you........... NODAK wrote: 10PM to 6:15AM - Dog is in crate/kennel because we're sleeping and then getting ready for work. = 8 hours, 15 minutes 6:15AM to 6:30AM - We let the dog outside so it can go to the bathroom if it needs to. 15 minutes 6:30AM to 5:30PM - We are both away at work...dog is in kennel with newspaper...generally, it goes on the newspaper. = 11 hours http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...20&postcount=1 Tanner gets a FIFTEEN minute break in 19 1/4 hours.......... I still feel the pup would be better off in another home. Doesn't sound like that will happen however. I can only hope the living situation will improve.......just makes me sad. Not directed at you Nikky, I agreed with your post......
