You guys I'm sorry....

[piclezgomoo]

You guys. I'm so sorry. I should've NEVER faked Diego's picture. I just wanted people to think he was normal. He really has a cornia in one of his eyes. People at school think I'm crazy because I hang out with Diego so much. He's pretty much the only friend I have & now I'm moving! I'm switching towns, schools, park district, & county. It's not fun moving into a house you completely hate. Well this is probably going to be my last post on pet talk as I feel terrible about lying & recieved many rude & terrible comments which no one deserves to have. I had fun while I was here....

P.S. YES! it really is a picture of Diego. Digital Photography easier than a scanner! MUCH easier.....

I had missed your earlier posts about Diego, and just went back to see what had happened. It is never necessary to lie about your pet, even if it means you don't have pictures to show. Many folks never post a picture of theirs, but give great mental pictures for us using words instead.

Sounds like you have a lot of things happening in your life. I know that has to be scary for you. I wish you good luck with your move this summer, and hopefully you will find you like the new house, school and neighborhood. Plus, Diego will be going with you.

Now that you've made your apology, why don't you spend a little time telling us more about yourself and Diego, and participating in other people's posts? Is he your only pet? I love hamsters, but no longer have one. You can see my little Phoebe, who is now at the Rainbow Bridge, in my avatar. She was such a sweetie.

Thanks Logan. You understand. Well here's a little about Diego:

He is black, he has a white tummy, a white chin, & white feet, in one eye he is blind & he has a small little tail. He only has four toes on his front left paw, he has ears that seem really big. He loves to eat lettuce & red apples. He has a friend named Slinkey who is my friend's long haired guinea pig. He loves the color red since he is attracted to red objcts. He never bites & loves rolling onto his back so he can get a tummy tickle.

My name is Autumn. I live in Northbrook but I am moving to Kildeer. I have a pet hamster & a dog. I love the colors pink & red. I love soft & furry little critters. I am quite sad but when I come on pet talk I'm happy.

Should I leave pet talk? 3 people told me to. Maybe I should. I will sleep on that as I have a major headache & should take a nap.

While it was upsetting to see you make up such a big lie, you DID apologize, and that, in my opinion, is an honorable thing to do. I'm sure we would all think Diego is perfect even if you didn't lie. There was no reason to lie........there is never a reason to make something up like that. I do understand that you're sorry though, and I hope you will promise yourself never to do such a thing again. Doing such things can really make people wary of you, and think you aren't trustworthy.

That being said, thank you for apologizing, and I, personally, do forgive you...but don't ever lie like that again. Diego is perfect just the way he is. We wouldn't have thought any less of him if you posted his real pics, and refrained from lying in the first place.

How old are you btw.........if you dont mind?

Naps are good when you have a headache!

My thought is that you shouldn't leave Pet Talk. You have asked for forgiveness, and hopefully others will respond soon. If nothing else, feel free to email Popcornbird and myself, or send us a PM through Pet Talk. I think you have suffered enough, hon, and you don't need any more suffering.

Luv ya,
Autumn & Diego Joe

I guess I can forgive you a bit. But it was very wrong to lie. We are a very happy online community here and there is no need for lies. Next time I would think before you do that because just remember: Some of us search on google

lol

Anyways thanks for the apology

[Uabassoon]

I don't think you should leave. You apologized for what you did. But you don't need to fake pictures for us to like Diego. Remember that here on Pet Talk we know that every pet is special.

ehh, im in between. How can we know you wont do this again? Sorry, it's just hard to re-trust people once they have lied. we have had so many fakers here on PT.

Could you please share some real pictures of your hamster?

[piclezgomoo]

My siggy now is a real pic. Once I get a new digital I will put more real pics up.

[Amber]

aww, he is a real cutie. I have a hamster too

I am going to have to agree. It's hard to forgive and forget.

While I do forgive you, I do think it is important that you understand you have made it hard for the next Newbie to come on to PT and be trusted. While this isn't the first time we have been lied to (Or the worst lie, I think the older member know what I'm talking about) it's still a lie.

Anyway, whats in the past is in the past. I hope from now on you will lead a staright path. PT is a wonderful place, weither you can post pictures or not. All of our members are valued and I know in no time you will be sooo addicted! LOL (it's like Caffenie!!)

Anyway, I don't think I ever introduced myself. My name is Ashley and I have 14 pets. Nova and Connor aremy dogs. Misty is my cat. Tundra, Brook, Lillian and Butternutt are my rats. Julian and Jaxom are my rabbits. Then there are our foster animals. Sada, a Black and White cat who was found at my school. She then had Wyatt (was pregnet when we found her) her son. And Breeze, who is our Foster dog for Paws With a Cause, she is going to be a Service Dog when she grows up.

You don't have to trust me just by me saying I won't do it again. I want to PROVE it. Id on't know how yet but I'lls tart with telling the truth.

[manda_moo87]

Don't leave...although you did something very wrong, you did apologize which was a brave thing to do.

The REAL Diego is adorable!

I missed the whole thing, so I say....Stay!
