hi yall, from texas!

[Texas Rustlers]

I will check with Peggy tomorrow at HSNT and see about the mother piggy that the woman dropped off. Did you or your friend see any other small animals there that were in need of rescue / adoption?

I have not heard of the vet you are using but would ask them the questions that Teresa has posted on her website www.cavyspirit.com regarding neutering, so that you may ascertain as to whether they have much experience. If they don't, then do not use them.

I am very glad that you adopted the piggy! I suppose I should be more careful of making assumptions!

I would be careful about the vet and asking the right questions! The main concern I think with these guys is the type of anesthetic they use, definately ask for more information, if you have any doubts, I have heard that T.R. uses a vet that is rather inexpensive and had a good reputation!

Take care;

Checked with Peggy at HSNT to see if the mummy pig needed to be rescued and this is her e-mail reply

'Hmmm, we didn't get a Piggy or do any bunny adoptions yesterday'

 

[jdomans]

There was a mother GP and a baby.
Well where did the mom go?

 

[debarah]

First of all, why are you writing a reply as if I am lying about where I had gotten her. Second of all, why are you even checking up on her. If you had viewed my reply, the mother gp and the baby were being dropped off and we had asked the woman who was giving them up if we could have them before she could relenquish the pigs. I know I adopted a bunny and had gotten a baby piggie from them, if I need to clarify and prove to you that I infact adopted an animal yesterday from a bonified shelter then I have no problem producing the paperwork and a reciept. I did not know I was under an investigation. As for the mother pig, she is with my neighbor, her name is Stephanie, would you like her phone number? You should be happy that I had adopted and took a bunny and a Gp off the streets and not let them go into the trash like my other GP previous owner had done, would you also like the names and phone numbers of the previous owners of my other 2 Guinea pigs, or can I sleep tonight knowing that I will not be investigated?

Oh yes, let me also get this off my chest, since I am being interegated about why, when, where I adopted. I was planning on adopting from the Texas Rustlers and giving a GP a loving and good home that they deserve, now I am happy to say that I did not come to you. I understand you have the GP's interests at heart, but why and since I did not adopt from you are you investigating the truth to my adoption, are you upset because I did not adopt from you? Why not call the Humane Society and send them out to my home to see how good of a condition and how spoiled and well taken care all of my animals are, you have my address, I did fill out your pre-application. Or maybe you yourself would like to come out and view my documents, home, cages, condition, vet references, ect. Just let me know if you would like to come, My home is open to you and your detectives.
I joined this site to share my stories and to brag about my piggies, also to get information about making cages and caring for my piggies, but if I have to deal with people like Texas Rustlers and their bitterness, then I just as soon not be a member. Sorry moderator if I am being harsh, but I say what is in my heart and on my mind.

 

[Ly&Pigs]

Drop the attitude please. Texas simply said that he/she called HSNT to see if there were more small furries that needed adoption. Maybe it is all a misunderstanding and Peggy didn't know there was a bunny adopted or maybe the day was wrong. If the pigs were exchanged in the parking lot then the rescue wouldn't have record of these pigs since they were not placed into their hands. You aren't under investigation by anyone and you are jumping to major conclusions. I hope that you and Texas can hash this out like mature adults and not get snarky attitudes.

Sorry moderator if I am being harsh, but I say what is in my heart and on my mind.

So do I.

 

[Texas Rustlers]

I am very happy you did post here, you really were not being investigated, your stories confused people because they were inconsistent, so people asked you questions. Now you have got yourself in a mess you become defensive.

I am happy especially that you posted here, because your application to adopt from us stated that you only had 1 Guinea Pig, a female and you wanted to find her a baby friend. There was no mention of the un-neutered male piggy that you have; Had you not told the world about him here, I would have been none the wiser and may even have adopted another female to you.

You have obviously put the original two together at some point, otherwise how would you know they didn't get on. I also suspect that had you continued to post here, you would have had one of those accidental pregnancies that you needed help with.

Also speculative here, but I would guess you got the two animals from a petstore. The facts that make me think this are and as you present them:

You bought a baby guinea pig and adopted a baby rabbit

Then you changed it to you adopted a piggy and a bunny from a shelter (on Lancaster which is HSNT) You stated that you called the shelter and they had baby rabbits and piggies (but they do not have baby guinea pigs and haven't for some time)

Then you changed it to you intercepted a woman on the parking lot and 'adopted' the baby from her but adopted the rabbit from the shelter. (The shelter in question did not adopt any rabbits yesterday)

Now I am not sure what you are saying

We are really not mean or malicious people, we want people to tell the truth, take care of the piggies, not to breed and not to buy from pet stores, is that really too much to ask?

 

[debarah]

I have never bought an animal from a pet store and nor would I ever. The only things I buy from pet stores are pet supplies. When I filled out your paperwork I did not have lamby at that time, my best friend and neighbor, Stephanie, had him. She had given me lamby because she knew I was looking for a companion for my honey bee. When we placed lamby and honey in my huge garden tub to introduce them, they did not get along. I did not realize lamby was not neutered until I took honey and lamby to get their nails clipped, that was on wednesday at the vet on parkrow and bowen street in Arlington. Once I found out lamby was not neutered, I called around to see who I could find that was cheaper than my regular vet. I found the vet on collins street for $55.00. As far as buying them from a pet store and you being speculative, you are wrong, I am Nigerian, and though my wording is not so great. I am happy to scan my paperwork and send it, or post it on a website for the world to see that I am not a story teller. Yes I did call the shelter, No they did not have pigs, but did have rabbits, Yes we did go to that shelter because my friend wanted a rabbit. After I had specifically wrote about the woman in the parking lot giving us the mother and the baby, and wrote my friend took the mother, you took it upon yourself to call anyway. You could have clearly read that my friend had the mother, but you wanted to investigate anyway. Good for you to take it upon yourself to find the truths, although in my case you will not uncover anything, because there is nothing to uncover. You yourself had said you are not malicious people, and want people to tell the truth, take care of piggies and not breed or buy from a pet store. Then please know that I did infact adopt, maybe I need to pay attention to how I phrase my words, But being from Nigeria, we word thing differently so sometimes my phrasing may be confusing. I do know english, and have been speaking english since birth. As far as my pets, they are well taken care of, so please rest assured that they are in great hands and will never see the inside of a shelter or petstore, or worse yet being breed. I do not or will never have any intention of breeding. Lamby's vet appointment is on monday, if anyone would like the number to that particular vet for future use on low cost neutering, I will be happy to send it to you.
Thank you for your concern, but my piggies are fine, and will be well taken care of, and that is all that matters.

Texas Rustlers,
Also you should be watching out on Dfwpetfinders Yahoo group. People are always trying to find and give away pigs on there, also gerbils, hampsters, and other animals. I had found lamby on that site, That is how stephanie and I had met, we did not realize we lived a few homes from each other in the same community. She also has 3 gerbils she is wanting to get rid of, if you take gerbils. I do not know if you belong to any of the freecycle groups for the dfw area, but you may want to concider it, they are always posting small animals, and piggies for free. I do not like the idea of giving a pet away for free, you never know who will take it for snake food, or feed it to their other animals. Please do some investigating of the groups, thanks.
