Hi wishing you the best in finding your forever fur-baby, dont give up theres always hope. I have seen a lot of ads here on YT of people wanting to rehome their babys, so good luck and keep your eyes open.

I am thinking this girl is not coming back...I think she is gone from this site..sad but it looks like it..she got quite slammed, and being new, I am sure what she must be thinking..I sent her a pm, hoping to hear from her, but she probably doesn't know what a pm is..took me a bit and I am still figuring out this whole site...
I tried telling her there were lots of baby's and one's needing to be rehomed to come back.. never heard from her...
maybe the thread should just close.

Why? The turmoil in this thread seemed to have ended yesterday...or so I thought.:rolleyes: People are still making suggestions and offering help to her. I don't see where the OP was ever "slammed" by anyone.:confused: Plus, she said she would have to check back "every few days."

You know...she didn't sound like she was begging to me from what I read in her post. I can totally relate to her, as in when I was about 23 years old...living in a one bedroom home ALONE and although I didn't have "alot" of money then, I sure did have a little yorkie that I loved and adored and his health care/needs always came first and foremost in my budget even though I wasn't "well off".

I hope you find a little companion...we all need one. They make life so much nicer. I also agree that you should maybe consider looking into a rescue or an older yorkie that is being retired. Best wishes to you.

I feel so sorry for this girl..what sort of welcome to YT is this? another thread full of petty squabbling!:rolleyes: I hope she finds a baby to keep her company soon.;)

I don't see where anyone ever said she was....?

I hope this little guy finds his perfect match and forever home!! The two could be meant for eachother!

Nor did I...:confused:

Please, for a first timer the things that were said would have been enough
to scare her. Face it, things were getting out of hand for no reason.
I guess it depends on what side of the fence you are on in regards to how
you read these posts. IMO they certainly were intiminating. With absolutely
no reason to go in that direction. The dog mentioned may have lost a
loving home.

You are right...there was no need for it to go in that direction and all depends on how you choose to interpret what you read. Hopefully the OP will notice that all of the negativity stayed between those who were already members and wasn't directed at her. Sadly, there are lots of members who join, post 1 or 2 times and never come back for whatever reason. So if she doesn't return, you can't really draw any conclusions as to why... But again, I thought the differences were put aside two days ago, sooo....not sure what's sparking the new posts complaining about dead and buried issues between other members...I guess Santa's elves have gone crazy!:p

I think what turned this thread into "drama" was the post that quoted the rules. some felt it was unnecessary and took it from there. some felt what was quoted was wrong because it stated begging was not allowed, when in reality the original poster was not begging. I agree that it really is how you interpert what you read, I am guilty of reading something the wrong way. lets just hope she comes back because YT is really great.

You are right. In reality the person who posted the rules (ME!) wasn't doing it to accuse her of begging...I just copied the whole section that explained about average pricing and rescue in addition to making some other helpful suggesting other avenues for finding a dog without breaking the bank. I tried to explained that--more than once--but if people continue to try to make it into something else...not really much I can do. Apparently others somehow know what I meant more than I know myself!:(

I didnt go back to reread who quoted the rules so I couldnt say you personally (sorry) you say you didnt mean anything by it, and im sure you didnt. Maybe next time you could just copy what you wanted her to see (the part on rescues) that way it wont turn into a problem like it did;)

I didnt understand why the rules was posted here any way. But Ive seen it done more then once, whats done is done, I just hope the PO comes back and I hope she finds her a forever fur-baby.

I did it the way I did because I was hurrying and never dreamed it would be blown so out of proportion.
As Shadow mentioned...it has been done before, many times, many rules, by members other than just myself, not sure what made this such a big deal...:rolleyes: Not the first time, won't be the last... Oh well, not going to lose sleep over it....

Welcome to YT! Good luck on the search for your perfect yorkie. :)

I urge you to look at the costs however, of vetting, shots, yearly upkeep and emergencies before you decide to add any dog to your family.

They can be quite costly and that also needs to be thought about in addition to the "purchase" price of a yorkie pup :)

I felt the same way.... Apparently others somehow know what I meant more than I know myself!

I hope Lillissa comes back but I'll bet she was scared away. Sweetie, if you do come back...welcome and I hope you find a baby that needs a loving home.

i didn't read the whole thread but the fact that she dropped yt for the advise that was given no matter how "direct" only makes me wonder how committed she would have been to a dog of her own.

:confused: i must say when i started my search for my first yorkie i was 17 years old... living in my own apartment with my now fiance and had about $200 to my funds... i was looking on the internet, pet stores, filled out numerous applications to rescue (but couldn't because i was only 17) i traveled over 6 hours to look at one for $900, i knew i couldn't afford him but i thought i'd make my boyfriend fall in love and buy it for me. He was the smart one who said if i can't afford to BUY it how can i afford to care for it? but in my eyes i didn't care! male or female, old or young.. i was just head strong on the fact that i was getting a yorkie!! granite most 17 year olds weren't as responsible as i was at the time with a full time job, bills, and a boyfriend who helped A LOT with all of this. anyways (sorry for the novel) i couldn't find a yorkie within price range even with my boyfriend offering to give $400 to my fund! i became OBSESSED with getting a yorkie i even started looking at yorkie mixes... started to read ANYTHING that had to do with yorkies and also ended up taking a lot of knowledge in!! needless to say over time my set aside puppy fund started to accumulate and i also learned a lot about the responsibility of owning a yorkie. two years later i purchased my baby girl for $1,400 from a reputable breeder three hours from my house. Two days later had to at the vet and she's the BEST thing that EVER happened to me. I know it seems like a real drag but i REALLY reccomend waiting until you have the funds to fully support your new baby... and the waiting will assure you that you have the perfect baby and when you finally get him or her it will make it so much sweeter! (sorry this is so long.. but its knowledge i wish someone would have given me!) :) good luck!

Interesting point. :thumbup:

Good post but your comment "Knowledge, I wish someone would have given me" is what was very interesting. When people try to educate all heck breaks out and some people say people are picking on the newbie. I really wish everyone could come together for the good of the dog.

i actually didn't want to sound like i knew more then anyone by ANY means i'm on here for fun AND to learn things but when i ask a question i hope for honest answers. i was simply sharing with her what my experience was with my baby. i'm not sure how that was taken the wrong way? sorry if i offended you.. that wasn't my intentions. i was in a very similar situation and i was sharing my personal insight..

Oh I didn't mean you..I thought your post was excellent..I was just trying to open some dialogue on how do we as a group educate people without offending anyone.

Great post :thumbup: Thanks for sharing your experience
