Hello everyone, I read Nadine's response late lastnight , and just can't not respond. Her entire letter is just basically lies. So many that I don't know where to begin. The very first thing that I need to point out is the fact that Nadine goes on and on about how i'm being so nasty and harassing her. That doesn't even make since to me. She paints the picture of me being a person who has nothing better to do than sit around and cause trouble for absolutly no reason apparent to her. I sent her $340.00 in good faith, that she would deliver what was agreed upon. She basically stiffed me and then acted as though she was just completely unaware . Also, I didn't call her DAYS after I received my fuzzie, i called her THE VERY NEXT MORNING. Spoke to her briefly, then I had a business call that I was waiting for and had to take, called her back just TEN MINUTES later and basically tried to reach her for DAYS. The only response that I received from her after sending her several e-mails, was finally threatening to post her on the FML. That seemed to get her attention. As far as why I didn't return the ferret, if it wasn't what I had wanted to begin w/. All I can say to that is that it's not a T.V. or VCR, I don't care how that sounds to anyone, if you're an animal lover than you'll understand that all they want is love no matter what sex they are. It sure wasn't the ferret's fault, why should she have to suffer for Nadines dishonesty and unprofessionalism. As far as DISCUSSING restitution, that has just NEVER accured. I haven't really spoken w/Nadine since i threatened posting her on the FML. I did recieve a coulpe of letters from her right after I did that , saying how i'm not a nice person and how she made a mistake sending me her fuzzie in the first place, 'cause plenty of people would love it no matter what sex it is, and she continued to go ON AND ON about what a nice person she is and all of the wonderful things that she does in the name of ferrets. She says that I ask for $50.00 more than what I paid for the ferret, HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking of only asking for half of the ferrets worth since I have absolutly no intention of returning Noodles, but since she's uped the price ,than sure, by all means, send me all my money back and then some. I did send her the vets verification in the mail , to the same address that I had originally sent the money order to. I even e-mailed her to let her know that it was on it's way. I received it in the mail a few days ago w/a postal stamp saying" RETURN TO SENDER, UNDELIVERABLE." I've bent over backwards to come to an agreement w/her and have simply had NO COOROPERATION. There is simply no way that her vet could look at this baby girl and call it a boy. She is just plain lieing. I don't know what else I can say about it. For all those who really want to see it, I can e-mail you a copy of the vets verification ,I have NOTHING TO HIDE, as I first tried to do w/Nadine. Of course she said she never received it, hence the standard mailing of the verification. I can't make anyone believe what i'm saying. I'm just trying to get the word out there, that if you choose to do business w/Nadine Downs of PHEONIX FUZZIE FERRETS, do it at your own risk , YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. I would like to thank Bill though, for trying to keep this from getting ugly, but I guess that's unavoidable when you deal w/ someone like Nadine. Thank you all for listening, Tina Gutshall [Moderator's note: Nadine has a chance for a last rebuttal, but I'd say the topic has enough unless there's a post of a settlement.
