Halle - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Starsmom · 09-06-2010, 05:36 AM

I just went to look for the thread from Vicki (barefoot contessa) to post about Halle and it's gone. So here's a new thread... Although I do not know who, as hinted to in the other thread, I can safely say Halle is going to be with a SM member. Vicki is totally heartbroken, and has spent the day saying her goodbys.

Marsha,

I believe there was a reason that thread was taken down.

After hearing about this thread over on YorkieTalk: Breeders please beware of this yt member!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community I have to wonder if she was just as broken up about the other 6 dogs she has given up in a similar way in the past 3 years.

I sure hope that whoever on SM is getting this pup does ok with her and I pray as well that this doesn't end up as an opportunity for another dog to end up in a similar situation.

WOW is all i can say....and I remember that her thread got me down (with all other sad stories/videos i came across with in different places in just one day)!!!!

I am just mad at myself for allowing that thread of her situation to effect my day. I just hope that Halle goes to the place that she belongs and REALLY hope that NO MORE other fluff will have to go through the same thing again!!!!

I'm confused!

I sure was taken in too. Although I didn't comment on the Halle thread, I was following it closely and, like you The Malts&Me, I was deeply affected. I was sad and upset for "Vicki" and was trying to figure out some way to help both Halle and "Vicki". This kind of thing really rips through honest trust in people. HOW people can be this devious is just beyond my comprehension. UGH! I was upset that I couldn't find the thread again and was really questioning what the heck was going on. Now it all makes perfect sense, unfortunately.

Thanks for the update!

I was very distraught over Vicki's thread. I feel very sad for her dogs. I hope Vicki gets the professional help that she needs.

This is heartbreaking for ALL the dogs who have been rehomed and for all the humans who have been duped. I may sound like a broken record but this situation is exactly why I will not discuss puppies via the internet or email. Call me so that I know a real person with a real phone number exists and if the discussion goes well then meet me somewhere to discuss and possibly see puppies. That face to face opportunity is priceless both for the buyer and the seller.

And, when you read something on this forum that is not "quite right" at the very least let the admins know so it can be looked into further. There is a scam artist on every corner. Off my soapbox now ...

Good work Carina! I certainly hope the member here hasn't been duped into taking a dog wiht health issues etc. I knew there was something about her that was wrong. Why would anyone resist help from rescue and be requesting a "re-homing fee".

Yup, and I pray she went to a GOOD home. I also pray money was not exchanged.

Exactly ~

And yep, you, and Pam, are right. Something seemed terribly wrong with the original thread. Especially coming from someone who was involved with Yorkie Rescue. How odd, she wouldn't consider a Rescue. Perhaps it's because Rescues will not pay for the dog. Once again, I hope this dog was not purchased.
