Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
My husband and I are victims of Diane (Dee) Gerrish owner/operator of LakeRidge Kennel, Cleveland, NC. He purchased a dog from Diane (Dee) over 13 months ago. The dog did not work out for us so we re-homed the dog with very dear friends of ours. The dog was a purchase. We paid her in full and have the receipt.

When Dee learned that we had re-homed the dog, she went berserk. Because we did not give her the dog back, she retaliates by going on the internet to post vicious, malicious, hateful lies about me her youngest sister, and lies about who we are, what we did, what we have. She threatened us and continues to threaten us with claims that she is contacting the FBI, coming to our area to confiscate the dog. She even put out a "doggie amber alert" on Buzznet.com, in hopes of tracking down the dog. She calls me every imaginable name in the book of "hateful names". She claims that I slandered her all over the internet and claims that she has tracked my IP address all over the internet.

I wish to God that the FBI would get involved in this ridiculous family fued that has and continues to be from her. She steals photos from our sister's album on webshots and manipulated them and posted hateful, disgusting remarks all over them just to try to hurt us, her very own sisters. She posted our full names, addresses, email addresses all over the internet attacking us with lie after lie after lie even claiming that we stole from our very own mother.

I have the original hateful emails she sent to me and my husband that she claims she did not write. I have shown them to our local police and I have reported her and I have an incident number to prove it. She is a cyber bully and will stop at nothing to try to destroy anyone who does not robotically do as she says.

I have been to her kennel that she operates from. It's a small building in the back of her single wide mobile home. I was there trying to work for her and I only stayed for 23 hours because the conditions were unsafe to me and I quit and she got mad and has been retaliating ever since. Those dogs are confined to cages; even a cat was in a cage and she wanted me to take it home with me and I refused.

What made me want to leave so quickly was the incident with the sheltie dog that was viciously attacked by one of her grown dogs. The sheltie had a large hole in it's stomach and Diane screamed at me and made me hold that dog down while she sewed it up with thread which appeared to me as some time of carpet thread and she did not use anesthesia nor even speak about taking the dog to the vet. I was tramatized by what happened. She claims on her blogs that the incident never happened. She is lying! It did happen. It's just another one of her lies that she hides behind.

She says how proud she is of her mobile home and her grooming facility and her kennel. But when she is asked over and over again to post photos, she does not. Instead, she stole indoor photos of someone else's grooming tub with a white poople and says it's hers. It is not hers.

Her property is located in a mobile home park in a semi-rural area. The property has a boat, a travel trailer, a single wide mobile home and several sheds on a small parcel. The kennel is nothing more than a storage building with no kennel runs to exercise the dogs.

Many customers have complained about her on Voy.com; Michelle's Pet Chat; and here as well. All of us have similar complaints. Diane (Dee) is a very difficult person to get along with. Her business practice is unscrupulous; she's a fraudulent business operator/backyard breeder. BUYER BEWARE! Just because she has lots of flashy icons and animated icons and blogs about herself all over the internet does not make her a reputable breeder.

She takes liberty and pleasure at bashing not only former customers but even her own family. Is this someone who you want to buy a dog from?

Further supporting email from Karyn Kelly regarding lhasapoo

#2REBUTTAL Owner of company

Thu, February 26, 2009

This is my last rebuttal regarding the bogus complaint from Karyn Kelly claiming she was traumatized, victimized, harassed and taken advantage of by me, Dee Gerrish and my company, Lake Ridge Kennel. The email below is further evidence to support the fact that Karyn Kelly's claim on ripoffreport.com is nothing more than fabricated nonsense. This is the email that Karyn Kelly sent to me after she got out of the hospital and was in response to my email asking about whether or not she had suffered from an anxiety attack because my brother had told me that Karyn Kelly had suffered from anxiety attacks for years and had told him she was taking "prozac" to help her deal with the attacks. As you can see from her own words (nothing has been changed in these emails...they are exactly as they were written and sent to me) she even expressed that she would refer me to the person she was giving the Lhasapoo away to about the female I still, to this day, have. I still have the sister to the lhasapoo that Karyn Kelly gave away. Notice that there wasn't anything said about there being a health problem regarding the dog....or that she felt as though she were a victim or that we had somehow "wronged" her and her husband. She even said, "Love ya" at her ending of her email to me. Yes...folks...generally I say "love ya" to someone who has harassed, threatened and victimized me too! If what Karyn Kelly claimed on her complaint to ripoffreport.com were true, why wouldn't she say this in her original email to me and why would she refer me to the person she was giving the dog away. I also noticed she says in her email that she says she was giving the dog away to a neighbor near her home. For sure I am glad that I found this email because now I have a starting point and know that I can now go door to door if I have to and find out who had this lhasapoo and what vet originally saw her and when! Sometimes, back tracking really is helpful! I bet Karyn Kelly never expected that I would still have her original emails! Imagine that!

Supporting evidence regarding Karyn Kelly's bogus complaint

#3REBUTTAL Owner of company

Tue, February 24, 2009

The other day I learned that Karyn Kelly...an estranged sister of mine of whom purchased a dog from me in January 2008 but dumped the dog in less than 24 hours, filed a bogus complaint about me and my business, Lake Ridge Kennel, on ripoff.com (I noticed she turned around and also created a blog on blogger claiming that she and her husband were "victims" and she bashed me as a bad breeder not just on her blog at blogger.com but also on ripoff.com but the actual evidence I have actually supports the fact that Karyn Kelly is not being truthful. The emails below support the fact that she and her husband, Jim Kelly, actually drove down to our home ONE YEAR AFTER Karyn Kelly came to my home and was asked to leave shortly after she arrived because she couldn't do any of the work she told me she could do, over the telephone prior to her arrival. I was very glad that I actually saved these old emails, because now that Karyn is following the abusive footsteps of her older sister, Sandra Johnson, these emails are supporting documents on MY behalf that proves what I say is the honest truth! I found an email sent to me by her husband, Master Chief Jim Kelly regarding the lhasapoo and problems that began with my younger sister, Karyn, within hours of the dogs' arrival. I am posting this email on this blog simply because Karyn Kelly and her sister, Sandra Johnson have made some absurd claims regarding this dog as well as claiming I've harassed them and threatened them. Actually, Sandra Johnson has nothing at all to do with this dog transaction so I don't even know why she's running her mouth about it. She wasn't involved in the transaction...wasn't a part of the transaction nor does this dog in any way, concern Sandra Johnson. She just likes to snoop into everyone's business and create scenarios that has never occured. Below is the actual email that was sent to me by Jim Kelly of Stroudsberg, Pa regarding the LhasaPoo. You'll see my email responses to him and his emails to me: X-Message-Delivery: Vj0zLjQuMDt1cz0wO2k9MDtsPTA7YT0w X-Message-Status: n:0 X-SID-PRA: James Kelly (I've deleted the actual email address) X-SID-Result: Pass X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jHp5sTKoN4VgoiuuULnJogdHKdxpGk1r+XAhKQtixYwYr2irunE3EUdpCSmbz9q7XA/ibaliqLee7og6fem6Hq9 Received: from BAY0-OMC3-S10.bay0.hotmail.com ([65.54.246.210]) by bay0-imc3-s19.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.2444); Mon, 7 Jan 2008 17:10:23 -0800 Received: from BAY136-W42 ([65.55.141.77]) by BAY0-OMC3-S10.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Mon, 7 Jan 2008 17:10:22 -0800 Message-ID: Return-Path: masterchiefkelly@ (I've deleted the actual email address) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="_80dd7892-94bb-4714-b6fa-1bc3943fa10a_" X-Originating-IP: [24.238.78.145] From: James Kelly (I've deleted the actual email address) To: Goldendoodle World (I've deleted the actual email address) Subject: RE: Karyn Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 20:10:22 -0500 Importance: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 08 Jan 2008 01:10:22.0508 (UTC) FILETIME=[3E2A96C0:01C85193] --_80dd7892-94bb-4714-b6fa-1bc3943fa10a_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dee, Well I just got back from the hospital again tonight. She is going to be in for at least another day. They need to run some more test (MRI, MRA and others) tomorrow. They have been giving her morphine and perquisite (spelling?) but her head is still hurting. She was throwing up so they are giving her some other meds to control that. The neurologist came in right before I left and said he wants to wait until he gets the rest of her testing done to decide what to do for her. The test they ran so far are all good. Lots of blood work, CAT scan, spinal tap and others I can not think of right no w. The neurologist was talking about migraines and they can cause the symptoms Karyn has been having. He was interesting to listen to, he said 50% of the people have migraines but most people think a migraine has to do with a headache only. It does not always happen that way, he said events trigger migraines and some or worst than others. I think her surgery was a trigger if that is what she has. Pinkerton could have been one too. So at this point until all the testing is completed we will not know for sure the outcome. She may come home tomorrow but again that depends on what they find out. On Pinkerton, she is doing well, I have her in the kitchen area away from the cats. Like I said the cats do not mess with her they just look at her. I have her crate open with her bed in it and she loves it in there. I get her out of it but she likes to go back in there. I think she feels safe there and that is what she was use to anyway. She has not eaten much, she threw up a couple times coming home but ate again. She has eaten a little bit but at least she isn't throwing up. I think she is getting use to her new surroundings. Don't worry about paying us back, like I said it wasn't your fault. I know you guys are having it tough now but I am like you I don't want her to have a bad home or be hurt either. When Karyn gets home we will talk and see what can be done. I will let you know tomorrow how Karyn is doing after I get home from the hospital or when I bring her home (hopefully). Thanks for thinking of Karyn. Talk to you soon. Jim From: goldendoodleworld@ (I've deleted the actual email address): masterchiefkelly@ (I've deleted the actual email address.) Subject: RE: KarynDate: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 15:23:41 -0500 Dear Jim, I hope nothing serious is going on. Perhaps she had a panick attack. I don't want Pinkerton "given" away especially to someone we have not checked out via our canine application. I don't have the money to refund you guys, but we certainly want her back if Karyn doesn't want her or isn't able to keep her. I don't want her winding up in some shelter or abused by someone that has not completed my canine application and that I haven't personally checked out. Let me know what happened and keep us posted on what's going on. Dee From: masterchiefkelly@ (I've deleted the actual email address.) To: goldendoodleworld@ (I've deleted the actual email address.) Subject: KarynDate: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 11:42:46 -0500 Dianne, Hey just a heads up, Karyn was taken to the hospital this morning about 4:30am. She was very weak and did not look good. She could not stand up so I called 911 and had her taken to the hospital. I just came back to get a shower and check on the pets. They are doing all kinds of test on her now and we will not know anything until after all the test have been completed and analyzed. I don't think it is anything serious but... Pinkerton is doing well, the cats are not bothered by her, they just look like we would an animal in the zoo. Apra is a little skittish around her, as a matter of fact she does not get out of the basement. Karyn last night was having a hard time with all this. It could be she was sick and didn't know it or everything is catching up with her. I am trying to keep things in perspective. In the event Karyn is unable to handle Pinkerton do you want her back? If not we may try and sell her or give her away. I hope everything works out. It is nothing you have done but wanted you to know what was going on. Hope everything is going good there. It was so nice seeing you guys the this weekend. Thanks for being understanding and I will let you know how Karyn is doing later on tonight when I get back from the hospital. Jim NOTE: Pinkerton was the name that Karyn gave the LhasaPoo that I sold to her and her husband. The email between myself and Karyn's husband, Jim Kelly, was very civil and I even expressed my concerns for Karyn. I definitely told Jim that we wanted her back so I am not sure why Karyn changed the course of plans when she returned home from the hospital. I do remember that she was adament that we give her back her $350 even though she was well aware that I had paid for the entire dinner bill out of the money her husband gave me, when myself, my husband, she and her husband all went to the Outback Steakhouse a few hours after they had arrived at the hotel in Statesville, NC. Jim Kelly clearly states in his emails to me that all was well with the LhasaPoo and that she was doing just fine. He also went on to say what was transpiring with Karyn wasn't my fault at all but was something physical going on with her health wise. It really makes me angry that Karyn Kelly has the audacity to make claims in her blogs on blogger.com as well as ripoff.com claiming that she and her husband were "victims" and were defrauded by me and my business, Lake Ridge Kennel. Just the simple fact that she boldly lies and then turns around and calls ME a liar, just pisses me off to no end. I was very upset that Karyn wanted to give the dog away instead of just giving it back to me and I was even more upset that she was about wanting her money back even though she knew that I spent half of that money on an evening out when they came to get the dog. Her entire attitude was that if I wasn't going to give her the $350 back, then she was going to give the dog away. She is such a selfish, self centered individual that she couldn't even understand that we didn't have the money to give her back. What also galls me regarding her sister, Sandra Johnson is that Sandra Johnson has the balls to tell ME that I just want the dog back to turn around and resell it. That's funny because the dog was with me for a year and a half simply because no one wanted to adopt a young adult dog. I didn't make a single dime on that LhasaPoo! I had the dog for a year and a half. I wonder how much money she actually spends on her dogs in a single year? Obviously not much if she actually believes I made one single dime on a dog that I adopted when it was a year and a half old! My husband and I spent money out of our own pocket for the care of the entire litter, mother included! We had paid out of our pocket all the vaccinations and the deworming as well as food, housing and utility expenses for over a year. Grooming supplies cost money too. Not to mention all the hours and time spent taking care of her. That LhasaPoo was well groomed and in immaculate condition at the time I handed her over to the Kellys. How Karyn Kelly and Sandra Johnson believe for one second that I made any money from placing that dog in Karyn's care for a measely $350 is beyond me! Now deduct the money it cost for dinner for the Kellys and myself and my husband and what does that leave me? I have further emails to back up the fact that at no time was Karyn Kelly or her husband any such victim...nor were they ever harassed by myself or my husband or threatened in any way...which is what Karyn Kelly has the audacity to claim on ripoff.com and on her blogger called ripoffreport. I've also have a copy of the purchase agreement/visual inspection worksheet that Jim Kelly signed and that I signed regarding the visual health of the Lhasa Poo to further verify there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the dog at the time I handed the dog over to them. That poor dog, thanks to Karyn Kelly's selfishness, was passed around to several people after Karyn Kelly refused to let us just have her back and just gave her away instead. This entire situation between myself and Karyn Kelly could have been resolved amicably had she just allowed my husband to drive up and get the dog instead of dumping that dog off like a pair of shoes she no longer wanted or liked. On my purchase agreement, it is so noted that we required the dog to be returned to us for an exchange if their vet found the dog to have a life threatening health issue..within 48 hours. Clearly had there been an issue, Jim and Karyn Kelly would have handed back the dog! Jim Kelly (as said in his email to me originally) asked if I wanted the dog back and I clearly said yes, in my response back to him. He and I had a civil email communication and he told me via telephone when I called him that he would give me the dog back if Karyn decided she didn't want to keep the dog. Jim Kelly clearly told me in his emails that "Pinkerton" was fine and doing well. He said she had thrown up a couple of times but she was scared and otherwise eating and drinking and doing fine. As I said, Karyn told me she had given the dog away when I called letting her know that my husband would be on his way to get the dog. She also said she wanted her $350 back even though she was very well aware of the fact I had paid for the dinner bill out of the funds her husband gave me. I didn't make a dime from placing that dog with the Kellys. Had I known that Karyn Kelly would not be able to take care of a little toy sized dog, I never would have even sold her the dog. My husband warned me not to sell them a dog but I was stupid and he clearly saw Karyn Kelly for the devious person she really is. She claims she's some christian there in her Stroudsberg PA community.....I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to bullshit! I've repeatedly asked Karyn Kelly to give me the name of the vet...the phone number...the address and the name of the person who has the dog simply so we could verify the facts regarding the lhasaPoo. Karyn Kelly has now changed her complaint as "anonymous" but clearly put my phone number, address and name out there under a bogus complaint. Below is Karyn and Jim Kelly's address and phone number: Karyn and Master Chief Jim Kelly (((ROR redacted))) CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

I was very upset that Karyn wanted to give the dog away instead of just giving it back to me and I was even more upset that she was about wanting her money back even though she knew that I spent half of that money on an evening out when they came to get the dog. Her entire attitude was that if I wasn't going to give her the $350 back, then she was going to give the dog away. She is such a selfish, self centered individual that she couldn't even understand that we didn't have the money to give her back. What also galls me regarding her sister, Sandra Johnson is that Sandra Johnson has the balls to tell ME that I just want the dog back to turn around and resell it. That's funny because the dog was with me for a year and a half simply because no one wanted to adopt a young adult dog. I didn't make a single dime on that LhasaPoo! I had the dog for a year and a half. I wonder how much money she actually spends on her dogs in a single year? Obviously not much if she actually believes I made one single dime on a dog that I adopted when it was a year and a half old! My husband and I spent money out of our own pocket for the care of the entire litter, mother included! We had paid out of our pocket all the vaccinations and the deworming as well as food, housing and utility expenses for over a year. Grooming supplies cost money too. Not to mention all the hours and time spent taking care of her. That LhasaPoo was well groomed and in immaculate condition at the time I handed her over to the Kellys. How Karyn Kelly and Sandra Johnson believe for one second that I made any money from placing that dog in Karyn's care for a measely $350 is beyond me! Now deduct the money it cost for dinner for the Kellys and myself and my husband and what does that leave me? I have further emails to back up the fact that at no time was Karyn Kelly or her husband any such victim...nor were they ever harassed by myself or my husband or threatened in any way...which is what Karyn Kelly has the audacity to claim on ripoff.com and on her blogger called ripoffreport. I've also have a copy of the purchase agreement/visual inspection worksheet that Jim Kelly signed and that I signed regarding the visual health of the Lhasa Poo to further verify there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the dog at the time I handed the dog over to them. That poor dog, thanks to Karyn Kelly's selfishness, was passed around to several people after Karyn Kelly refused to let us just have her back and just gave her away instead. This entire situation between myself and Karyn Kelly could have been resolved amicably had she just allowed my husband to drive up and get the dog instead of dumping that dog off like a pair of shoes she no longer wanted or liked. On my purchase agreement, it is so noted that we required the dog to be returned to us for an exchange if their vet found the dog to have a life threatening health issue..within 48 hours. Clearly had there been an issue, Jim and Karyn Kelly would have handed back the dog! Jim Kelly (as said in his email to me originally) asked if I wanted the dog back and I clearly said yes, in my response back to him. He and I had a civil email communication and he told me via telephone when I called him that he would give me the dog back if Karyn decided she didn't want to keep the dog. Jim Kelly clearly told me in his emails that "Pinkerton" was fine and doing well. He said she had thrown up a couple of times but she was scared and otherwise eating and drinking and doing fine. As I said, Karyn told me she had given the dog away when I called letting her know that my husband would be on his way to get the dog. She also said she wanted her $350 back even though she was very well aware of the fact I had paid for the dinner bill out of the funds her husband gave me. I didn't make a dime from placing that dog with the Kellys. Had I known that Karyn Kelly would not be able to take care of a little toy sized dog, I never would have even sold her the dog. My husband warned me not to sell them a dog but I was stupid and he clearly saw Karyn Kelly for the devious person she really is. She claims she's some christian there in her Stroudsberg PA community.....I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to bullshit! I've repeatedly asked Karyn Kelly to give me the name of the vet...the phone number...the address and the name of the person who has the dog simply so we could verify the facts regarding the lhasaPoo. Karyn Kelly has now changed her complaint as "anonymous" but clearly put my phone number, address and name out there under a bogus complaint. Below is Karyn and Jim Kelly's address and phone number: Karyn and Master Chief Jim Kelly (((ROR redacted))) CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

Supporting evidence regarding Karyn Kelly's bogus complaint

#5REBUTTAL Owner of company

Tue, February 24, 2009

The other day I learned that Karyn Kelly...an estranged sister of mine of whom purchased a dog from me in January 2008 but dumped the dog in less than 24 hours, filed a bogus complaint about me and my business, Lake Ridge Kennel, on ripoff.com (I noticed she turned around and also created a blog on blogger claiming that she and her husband were "victims" and she bashed me as a bad breeder not just on her blog at blogger.com but also on ripoff.com but the actual evidence I have actually supports the fact that Karyn Kelly is not being truthful. The emails below support the fact that she and her husband, Jim Kelly, actually drove down to our home ONE YEAR AFTER Karyn Kelly came to my home and was asked to leave shortly after she arrived because she couldn't do any of the work she told me she could do, over the telephone prior to her arrival. I was very glad that I actually saved these old emails, because now that Karyn is following the abusive footsteps of her older sister, Sandra Johnson, these emails are supporting documents on MY behalf that proves what I say is the honest truth! I found an email sent to me by her husband, Master Chief Jim Kelly regarding the lhasapoo and problems that began with my younger sister, Karyn, within hours of the dogs' arrival. I am posting this email on this blog simply because Karyn Kelly and her sister, Sandra Johnson have made some absurd claims regarding this dog as well as claiming I've harassed them and threatened them. Actually, Sandra Johnson has nothing at all to do with this dog transaction so I don't even know why she's running her mouth about it. She wasn't involved in the transaction...wasn't a part of the transaction nor does this dog in any way, concern Sandra Johnson. She just likes to snoop into everyone's business and create scenarios that has never occured. Below is the actual email that was sent to me by Jim Kelly of Stroudsberg, Pa regarding the LhasaPoo. You'll see my email responses to him and his emails to me: X-Message-Delivery: Vj0zLjQuMDt1cz0wO2k9MDtsPTA7YT0w X-Message-Status: n:0 X-SID-PRA: James Kelly (I've deleted the actual email address) X-SID-Result: Pass X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jHp5sTKoN4VgoiuuULnJogdHKdxpGk1r+XAhKQtixYwYr2irunE3EUdpCSmbz9q7XA/ibaliqLee7og6fem6Hq9 Received: from BAY0-OMC3-S10.bay0.hotmail.com ([65.54.246.210]) by bay0-imc3-s19.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.2444); Mon, 7 Jan 2008 17:10:23 -0800 Received: from BAY136-W42 ([65.55.141.77]) by BAY0-OMC3-S10.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Mon, 7 Jan 2008 17:10:22 -0800 Message-ID: Return-Path: masterchiefkelly@ (I've deleted the actual email address) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="_80dd7892-94bb-4714-b6fa-1bc3943fa10a_" X-Originating-IP: [24.238.78.145] From: James Kelly (I've deleted the actual email address) To: Goldendoodle World (I've deleted the actual email address) Subject: RE: Karyn Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 20:10:22 -0500 Importance: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 X-OriginalArrivalTime: 08 Jan 2008 01:10:22.0508 (UTC) FILETIME=[3E2A96C0:01C85193] --_80dd7892-94bb-4714-b6fa-1bc3943fa10a_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dee, Well I just got back from the hospital again tonight. She is going to be in for at least another day. They need to run some more test (MRI, MRA and others) tomorrow. They have been giving her morphine and perquisite (spelling?) but her head is still hurting. She was throwing up so they are giving her some other meds to control that. The neurologist came in right before I left and said he wants to wait until he gets the rest of her testing done to decide what to do for her. The test they ran so far are all good. Lots of blood work, CAT scan, spinal tap and others I can not think of right no w. The neurologist was talking about migraines and they can cause the symptoms Karyn has been having. He was interesting to listen to, he said 50% of the people have migraines but most people think a migraine has to do with a headache only. It does not always happen that way, he said events trigger migraines and some or worst than others. I think her surgery was a trigger if that is what she has. Pinkerton could have been one too. So at this point until all the testing is completed we will not know for sure the outcome. She may come home tomorrow but again that depends on what they find out. On Pinkerton, she is doing well, I have her in the kitchen area away from the cats. Like I said the cats do not mess with her they just look at her. I have her crate open with her bed in it and she loves it in there. I get her out of it but she likes to go back in there. I think she feels safe there and that is what she was use to anyway. She has not eaten much, she threw up a couple times coming home but ate again. She has eaten a little bit but at least she isn't throwing up. I think she is getting use to her new surroundings. Don't worry about paying us back, like I said it wasn't your fault. I know you guys are having it tough now but I am like you I don't want her to have a bad home or be hurt either. When Karyn gets home we will talk and see what can be done. I will let you know tomorrow how Karyn is doing after I get home from the hospital or when I bring her home (hopefully).

I don't have the money to refund you guys, but we certainly want her back if Karyn doesn't want her or isn't able to keep her.

She could not stand up so I called 911 and had her taken to the hospital. I just came back to get a shower and check on the pets. They are doing all kinds of test on her now and we will not know anything until after all the test have been completed and analyzed. I don't think it is anything serious but... Pinkerton is doing well, the cats are not bothered by her, they just look like we would an animal in the zoo. Apra is a little skittish around her, as a matter of fact she does not get out of the basement. Karyn last night was having a hard time with all this. It could be she was sick and didn't know it or everything is catching up with her. I am trying to keep things in perspective. In the event Karyn is unable to handle Pinkerton do you want her back? If not we may try and sell her or give her away. I hope everything works out. It is nothing you have done but wanted you to know what was going on. Hope everything is going good there. It was so nice seeing you guys the this weekend. Thanks for being understanding and I will let you know how Karyn is doing later on tonight when I get back from the hospital. Jim NOTE: Pinkerton was the name that Karyn gave the LhasaPoo that I sold to her and her husband. The email between myself and Karyn's husband, Jim Kelly, was very civil and I even expressed my concerns for Karyn. I definitely told Jim that we wanted her back so I am not sure why Karyn changed the course of plans when she returned home from the hospital.

Jim Kelly clearly states in his emails to me that all was well with the LhasaPoo and that she was doing just fine.

He and I had a civil email communication and he told me via telephone when I called him that he would give me the dog back if Karyn decided she didn't want to keep the dog. Jim Kelly clearly told me in his emails that "Pinkerton" was fine and doing well. He said she had thrown up a couple of times but she was scared and otherwise eating and drinking and doing fine. As I said, Karyn told me she had given the dog away when I called letting her know that my husband would be on his way to get the dog. She also said she wanted her $350 back even though she was very well aware of the fact I had paid for the dinner bill out of the funds her husband gave me. I didn't make a dime from placing that dog with the Kellys. Had I known that Karyn Kelly would not be able to take care of a little toy sized dog, I never would have even sold her the dog. My husband warned me not to sell them a dog but I was stupid and he clearly saw Karyn Kelly for the devious person she really is. She claims she's some christian there in her Stroudsberg PA community.....I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to bullshit! I've repeatedly asked Karyn Kelly to give me the name of the vet...the phone number...the address and the name of the person who has the dog simply so we could verify the facts regarding the lhasaPoo. Karyn Kelly has now changed her complaint as "anonymous" but clearly put my phone number, address and name out there under a bogus complaint. Below is Karyn and Jim Kelly's address and phone number: Karyn and Master Chief Jim Kelly (((ROR redacted))) CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

My response to Karyn Kelly of Stroudsberg Pa

#7REBUTTAL Owner of company

Mon, February 23, 2009

Karyn Kelly, I am very aware that you are following in the footsteps of your sister, Sandra Johnson who also file a bogus ripoff complaint under "Disgusted in Orlando". The problem with your fictitious story on ripoff.com is that you have come into this website to slander my personal name as well as my company name when you were not ripped off at all. In fact, I reported you and your two step sisters to DCS of Kissimmee Florida for ripping off your mother, Lori Evans, who was left nearly penniless by your step sister, Charlotte Estes who lives in Mobile, Alabama. I found out today that you have now created a bogus blog at http://ripoffreportcomplaint.blogspot.com/ I find it very interesting, Karyn Kelly that for one thing, you write about something that never happened...claimed you were traumatized and that I am such a bad breeder...blah, blah, blah and yet ONE YEAR after you claim you came to my home and this incident happened, you and your husband bought a dog from me! ONE YEAR AFTER THIS SUPPOSED INCIDENT! I have posted the copy of the signed purchase agreement/visual inspection worksheet that your husband, Master Chief Jim Kelly of Stroudsberg, PA signed in front of me showing the date of his signature as well as the fact that both you and he visually inspected the dog that your husband gave me $350 and showing that you both agreed that the dog was in visually good health, etc. and I've posted this signed agreement on my personal blog for people to see that what you claim doesn't even make any sense! I am completely baffled as to why you and your husband would come down to my area in North Carolina and buy a dog from me, if the incident that you claim actually happened? Why would you buy a dog from a breeder you claim houses their dogs in nothing but a "metal shed" and has "no room for exercise" ?? Why would you come back to a breeder to buy a dog, if you watched that very same breeder sew up a "gaping hole" from a dog who was bleeding to death and that you felt traumatized by such an incident??? Didn't you have a cell phone with you when you came to my home the first time pretending you could help me do some work at my home when you completely misrepresented your abilities? Were you not on your cell phone constantly complaining to your husband that you couldn't do any of the work that I said to you that I needed and that you claimed to me over the telephone, prior to your arrival, that you could do? If the incident you described in your bogus complaint actually happened, why didn't you call the police or animal control from your cell phone??? Your truck was sitting in my driveway. Why didn't you get into your truck and just leave? Your bags were not stored inside of my home. You were free to leave at any time. The problem with you and your sisters is that you enjoy making up bogus complaints...embellished, outrageous, shocking claims to get the attention of the general internet audience and yet, I've repeatedly asked you to bring forth supporting evidence of the claims that you all have been making! Karyn Kelly, you and your sisters are behind (((Link Redacted)))the fictitious compalints on and the Michelle's board where you pretend to be multiple people under various, fake user names. The only reason your garbage remains on those websites and now (((Link Redacted))) is because there is no one accoutable or responsible operating those sites. There isn't a single ligit complaint on the websites that you claim harbor "multiple complaints" towards my business, Lake Ridge Kennel. What you also fail to mention is the fact that after your husband, Masterief Jim Kelly of stroudsberg PA handed me $350 for the very healthy, sweet lhasapoo who was a toy sized dog weighing approx. 12 pounds or slightly under, is that you, your husband, myself and my husband went to the Outback Steakhouse for dinner and I actually paid for the dinner bill out of the $350 cash that your husband handed me. You gave the waiter the gift certificate I SENT TO YOU some months earlier as a gift, for a tip. You also fail to mention that both you and your husband visually inspected the LhasaPoo before Jim Kelly handed me the money for the dog and you fail to mention the actual date of the supposed incident at my home where you were "left traumatized" and the actual date of the dog adoption. My recept is dated in January of 2008 and your fiasco visit actually occured one year BEFORE you and your husband came to my area to buy the LhasaPoo. The ONLY THING that did transpire at my home during your short fiasco visit was that you could NOT do any of the work that you and I had agreed you would do, over the telephone prior to your arrival and that you literally stood in my driveway and made the statement that you hated dogs, never wanted to own a dog and never wanted to be around a dog and you were asked to leave by my husband. The fact is, you did not arrive at my home until late in the evening...you spent the night in my brand new travel travel with nice accomdations and in less than a couple of hours the following day, my husband asked you to leave because you could not even perform simple front yard chores. That very brief visit by you occured in 2007. So, I fail to understand why if you thought I was a bad breeder....a backyard breeder...and all the other horrific things you and your sisters have posted all over the internet and now as well on blogger.com under the link http://ripoffreportcomplaint.blogspot.com/ why you would call me a year later asking to buy a dog from me???? That doesn't even make any sense whatsoever! Your posting on this website and anywhere else over the internet are nothing more than bogus postings that have the intent to smear my personal name, Dee Gerrish and that of my business, Lake Ridge Kennel. Your postings are simply to gain negative public attention to people who are not aware of the internal family feud going on regarding our mother, Lori Evans, of 615 south thacker avenue Kissimmee Florida 34741 who has dementia and was diagnosed with dementia back in 2006. You and your sisters believe it is okay to have expensive homes, lucrative incomes and all types of expensive "Toys" but yet it is supposedly okay for you and your sisters to charge our mother for her personal care??? Your mother receives less than $1600 a month income and here you and your sisters have husbands with incomes of supposedly over $100,000 a year and you have to use your mother's credit cards and the money she worked hard all of her life saving, for HER CARE??? How is that even morally right? You, Sandra Johson, Charlotte Estes and Cheryl Rogers make me completely sick with your disgusting inexcusable behaviour not just over the internet...but just in general as individuals. You can talk crap all you want about me and my business and pretend as much as you want that numerous people have complained about me as a breeder and as a business but the truth is, nothing you write or post over the internet has any truth to it and you can't come up with a single piece of legal documentation or supporting evidence to back up what you've plastered all over the internet. The general internet audience has no idea how much you people are lying, but all they have to do is request supporting legal evidence from you crackheads and find out that your just blowing smoke out your rears!

Rebuttal to Disgusted in Orlando

#9REBUTTAL Owner of company

Thu, February 19, 2009

First of all, I am fixing a couple of mistakes I made in my original rebuttal to Karyn Kelly of Stroudsberg, PA: 1. Her husband's name is Master Chief Jim Kelly (I mistakenly said otherwise) 2. I reported my estranged sisters to the Kissimmee DSC in September of 2008 (not September 2006). 3. I've been stalked, harassed, attacked and verbally abused by Sandra Johnson, who is an estranged sister of whom I have not physically seen since 1996, since mid 2006 because she became upset that I had asked her to fill out a canine application when she made a Goldendoodle inquiry. To this day, I still have her original emails she sent to me in 2006 where she voiced her personal derogatory opinions of having to fill out the application, not to mention her postings back in 2006 over various websites and forums under various fake user names. Secondly, I see that "Disgusted in Orlando" (aka Sandra Johnson of Orlando Florida who pretends to be a dog trainer just south of I-4 called "Gone 2 the dogs" and yet has severely over weight dogs of her own from lack of exercise) has again returned to ripoff.com to further talk to herself. I would not put it past her that she herself wrote the bogus complaint using her younger sister's name. She actually stooped extremely low on the website of Merchant Circle (www.merchantcircle.com) to create fake postings to further smear my name under not just her own mother's name (Lori Evans), but also calling herself "Sandra Evans". Since I don't really know whether or not Karyn Kelly really did come on this website to follow her sisters' abusive shoes, I'm going to assume that Karyn Kelly in fact did come to this website to further slander my name and make a bogus "I've been ripped off by Dee Gerrish" complaint. All of my estranged sisters need to grow up and get a life and stop this abusive nonsense. What I find pathetic, is the fact these are grown women who range in age late 40s to mid sixties! These are not teenager girls or kids, doing all of this cyber bulling and stalking and harassing. I'm not even going to go back into what started the smear campaign with Sandra Johnson. I've already responded to her invalid complaint right here on ripoff.com when she posted under the fake name, "Disgusted in Orlando". Sandra Johnson, if you feel that I called and harassed anyone, by all means take this supposed complaint to an attorney and file a lawsuit. Stop whining and complaining and making up embellished story after story under multiple fake user names over the internet. Drive yourself to the nearest attorney or get your step sisters' grandson, who claims he's an attorney and offers his services FREE of charge to his grandma, and file a lawsuit. Come right here to my area and by all means, bring forth all of the supposed "evidence" of your absurd claims. You made this claim right here on this website under "Disgusted in Orlando" that you were going to file a lawsuit and I'm still waiting. You've done nothing but harass and stalk me over the internet since 2006. You've done nothing but attack me over the internet with disgusting, vile remarks acting like some sort of tough guy when your nothing but a sick, demented individual with a severe need of a doctor's mental care. You've taken this abusiveness here on ripoff.com because I've noticed a pattern with you. Your pattern takes you to any website that won't remove the content when they are asked to do so. These are the only places you feel you can fight with me over the internet. If you have such a need to confront me in such a negative way, I'm curious as to why you don't have the balls to drive to my home and confront me in person? Why do you continue your issues with me over the internet? You are so internally angry with me that you feel the urgent need to address your inner rage to people over the internet who give a rats a*s about what you whine about. Perhaps it is you that does not understand what an amber alert is. Perhaps its nothing but a joke to you about what it is I do. The one thing you can't do, Sandra Johnson, is actually care about anything or any one for that matter. You are such a coldhearted, callous person, that it doesn't affect you one single bit to personally attack me in such an insane way. Your embellished made up stories are nothing more than desperate attempts at getting revenge for the anger you feel towards me. I'm sure you feel slighted by me because I wasn't sympathetic enough towards your personal issues back in 2006...but the truth is, I don't care what personal issues are. I never harassed you after you said you didn't want to fill out my canine application. It didn't matter to me whether you came and got the dog or not that I offered to you for free. You either wanted it or you didn't. I didn't care one way or the other. Frankly speaking, now that I know that you dumped the goldendoodle that you paid a breeder for, not long after YOU got it, I'm very glad that you had an issue in filling out my canine application. I'm very glad it wasn't one of MY goldendoodles you dumped. It seems to me that you and your sister, Karyn Kelly have dumping issues. It's quite obvious to me that there is severe dysfunction issues with you, Karyn, Charlotte and Cheryl. AT any rate, those are your problems and not mine and I would really appreciate it if you all get medical assistance or therapy for your issues and stop dragging me into your drama. It appears you all live for the drama and this website isn't the place for you to rant about your personal problems or issues. You always find websites where there is no accountability for what is posted and these are the only places you can pretend to be countless "other people" by using fake names and fake user names as well as fictitious business names. It's sick, really.

#10Consumer Comment

Thu, February 19, 2009

First of all, this ripped-off consumer is none other than the youngest sister of Diane Dee Gerrish, the person with whom she has an apparent consumer complaint, and she is misusing this forum to carry on a family fued that really has little to do with dogs. This entire entry should be removed because it is a gross misuse of what this website is supposed to be about. I would like to draw attention to the first and last paragraphs of Karyn Kelly's letter: QUOTE: My husband and I are victims of Diane (Dee) Gerrish owner/operator of LakeRidge Kennel, Cleveland, NC. He purchased a dog from Diane (Dee) over 13 months ago. The dog did not work out for us so we re-homed the dog with very dear friends of ours. The dog was a purchase. We paid her in full and have the receipt. Except for the victim part, this paragraph contains the only accurate, unexaggerated, non-hysterical part of her entire rant. QUOTE: "She steals photos from our sister's album on webshots and manipulated them and posted hateful, disgusting remarks all over them just to try to hurt us, her very own sisters. She posted our full names, addresses, email addresses all over the internet attacking us with lie after lie after lie even claiming that we stole from our very own mother." This is the proverbial pot calling the kettle black. Before the account was deleted, Dee's older sister had an entire Photobucket album of Photoshopped pictures that depicted Dee Gerrish in exactly the sort of light Ms. Kelly is whining about being done to her. QUOTE: "Many customers have complained about her on Voy.com; Michelle's Pet Chat; and here as well. All of us have similar complaints. Diane (Dee) is a very difficult person to get along with. Her business practice is unscrupulous; she's a fraudulent business operator/backyard breeder. BUYER BEWARE! Just because she has lots of flashy icons and animated icons and blogs about herself all over the internet does not make her a reputable breeder." The many customers are actually a very small (in more ways than one) group of people all of them related by blood they are sisters and step-sisters of Diane Dee Gerrish and have been attacking her personally and professionally for several years now. I have personally followed this epic battle since 2006. I have spent several holidays at Dee's place, and it is by no means the canine Auschwitz that Ms. Kelly and her fellow pots would have anyone believe. I have been inside the building that Ms Kelly describes as a metal shed. It's actually a concrete block building, complete with air conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter and plenty of ventilation all year long. The only metal shed I've ever seen at Dee's place is a garage and no dogs OR cats are kept in the garage. Never in any of my multiple-day visits have I felt unsafe . hypocrite[hip-uh-krit]noun 1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. 2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements. 3.

Lake Ridge Kennel rebuttal to former customer

#11Consumer Comment

Thu, February 19, 2009

As a consumer, I am simply amazed that the owner/operator of Lake Ridge Kennels really believes she has the right to demand from her former customer, a dog that was sold over a year ago! This website is not the only place where this complaint and rebuttal is located. The owner of Lake Ridge Kennels actually posted an AMBER ALERT for the dog on Buzznet.com!! She also blogged about it on BlogSpot.com and on her MySpace profile. What kind of business owner has the unmitigated gall to sell something, have the new owner sign a contract making everything 'fair and square' then a year later, demand the item back? This is not even comprehensible! The owner of this dog breeding business must really be desperate for money if she is contacting her former customers demanding they return the dogs!! Not only did she demand the dog back from the customer, she made unwelcome phone calls and sent threatening emails to these people! Who DOES that???? I wonder how many other of her former customers are getting the very same threatening phone calls and emails? Isn't there a law against this type of thing? Isn't it called, "extortion?" I have never in my life seen an AMBER ALERT for an animal! I can see it now. I'm driving down the Interstate when I see the yellow lights on the sign telling me that someone is looking for the whereabouts of a dog!!! If I saw THAT, I would have to stop and take a picture! I wonder how many FBI agents are out scouting neighborhoods looking for this dog? I wonder if they are going door-to-door demanding to see every dog across the nation? How would they know if they found it? Lots of dogs look the same. Since it's been over a year since the dog was rightfully purchased from the breeder, I would imagine the dog would look a little different. Will the FBI get their sketch artist and create a rendering of how the dog might look NOW? What if the dog had it's hair colored or had some nip and tuck surgery performed? What if the dog is in the Witness Program? Would the dog now be fatter? Skinnier? Uglier? Prettier? Fuzzier? Maybe it's shaved!! Maybe it ran off and joined a roaming pack of gypsy dogs!! Maybe it's dead! OMG. Does that mean that CSI has to now get involved? Maybe I will be able to see a CSI episode where they find a missing dog's bones and because it couldn't be identified, it went into a cold case files. How expensive will it be to hunt for this missing dog? Maybe there will be an episode on Without A Trace about the dog!! I wonder if the dog knows it's missing? I wonder if it cares? I even wonder why the dog breeder hasn't been Baker Acted!! This is CRAZY!!!! Listen, dog breeder person, you SOLD the dog. You got a check for the amount you asked for. You took the check to the bank and you deposited it. You left the dog with it's new owners and you drove back home. You went about your life as usual. You found out that the new owners had re-homed the dog for the better of the dog and the owners and you flipped out. You posted nasty, horrible, hate-filled blogs and posts all over the Internet about these people and then had the nerve to harass these people to give you the dog back! You DO NOT have the right to get something back that you sold. Just because you demand it doesn't mean these people have to buckle under your threats! When someone sells YOU something say, the grocery store. Does the store manager call you a year later and demand to know where that roll of toilet paper is? Does the manager threaten to come to your door and confront you over that TP? Does the manager put out a toilet paper AMBER ALERT? My God woman, you are absolutely insane. I can see it now: AMBER ALERT! AMBER ALERT! IF YOU KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS OF A ROLL OF WHITE, TWO-PLY, EXTRA SOFT CHARMIN TOILET PAPER PLEASE CALL: Give us a break dog breeder. Your rebuttal is so dense and senseless and so accusatory and extremely unprofessional that you shouldn't be allowed to breed mosquitos much less dogs!

Fictitious complaints towards my company Lake Ridge Kennel

#12REBUTTAL Individual responds

Wed, February 18, 2009

I am the owner of Lake Ridge Kennel, Dee Gerrish. This complaint and as well as the others mentioned by this person inside of THIS fictitious complaint is none other than an estranged family member who has created multiple fake user names on numerous websites simply to smear my personal name and that of my business. I do not own any shelties, nor did the incident this person mentions in this complaint ever occur. Responsible websites on the internet know that this person has had their account deleted multiple, upon multiple times because their intent is to destroy my credibility as a breeder. These bogus complaints have been placed here as well as on the websites mentioned in this fake complaint by my estranged sisters, Karyn Kelly of Stroudsberg PA; Sandie Johnson of Orlando FLorida (She claims to be a dog trainer just south of I-4 called Gone 2 the dogs); Cheryl Rogers (who has taken up residence at my mother's home because she can live there rent free and not pay a single bill due to my mother's dementia, in Kissimmee Florida) and Charlotte Estes of Mobile, Alabama (whom has stolen thousands of dollars from my mother since 2006 by coercing my mother, who has dementia, into giving her power of attorney). Three of these estranged sisters were reported by me to the Kissimmee Florida DCS after I discovered wrong doing towards my mother who was diagnosed with dementia in 2006. Much of this bogus nonsense began in September 2006 after I filed my complaints with DCS and tried to assist my mother. Sandra Johnson began her smear campain towards me as a person and towards my business, Lake Ridge Kennel, back in 2006 after she inquired about getting a Goldendoodle from me and I asked her to fill out my canine application. Sandra Johnson, in fact, is the main person behind all of the fake complaints with bogus user names, on multiple websites. She has created multiple fake business listings on Merchantcircle.com which are continually deleted by Merchant Circle. The owners of Merchant Circle as well as the forum moderators are very aware of this fact and have repeatedly sent her TOS violation letters to stop the harassment. Sandra Johnson, of Orlando Florida, in fact is the person who filed the first fictitious complaint on ripoff.com under the guise, "Disgusted in Orlando". So far, she has created over 50 bogus user names such as ParkerMcarthur, McarthurParker, Parker, The truth, Items R Us, fladogtrainer, 1dogtrainer, ldyharley79, Sandra Evans, Sandie Evans, Lori Evans, Sandra Johnson, SFJ, Arceholdings, Puppymillbusters, Arseholdings, Sandie Johnson, etc; The list of bogus user names is quite lengthy. Sandra Johnson actually has even stooped so low as to even use my own name, Dee Gerrish, to create multiple fake postings, listings, articles as well as creating fake My Space pages as a means to slur my business and my personal name. The person behind this complaint as well as all the others on the internet has no merit to her stories, which is why you have been reading them over the internet. This person makes fictitious claims simply out of jealousy, spite, hatefulness and possibly because they are in need of some serious medical assistance and counseling. I have tried to ignore this person and not respond to any further comments or postings by this person, which was recommended to me by my local police department after I filed a complaint with the Orlando Police department as well as my own local sheriff's office in Salisbury, NC. The person behind this bogus complaint is abusive and desperately seeks attention even though the attention they seek is quite destructive and negative. No one has harassed, threatened or bothered the person behind this complaint. In fact, the only blogs that I myself have ever created that mentions these estranged sisters, have been only in self defense. The person behind this bogous complaint claims that the photos on my website belong to someone else when in fact, they do not. Photos on my website showing my grooming shop as well as my Poodles and Golden Retrievers do indeed belong to me and no one else. 98% of all of the photos on my website are of not just my own dogs, but of Goldendoodles we have sold or still own, since 1999. Many of our terrific customers, over the years, have stayed in contact and have sent us not just photos of the dogs they have purchased from us, but cards, letters and emails praising us as a breeder and proudly sharing their wonderful dogs that they have purchased from us. The person behind this smear campaign is quite jealous over the fact that we have been a successful breeder since 1996; they are merely upset over the fact that we are one of the original founders for the Goldendoodle dog in the southern region of the United STates and were the first breeder to register the Goldendoodle dog with a ligit kennel club in the United STates. Dee Gerrish, in fact, has written extensively about the Goldendoodle dog since 1999 and her numerous goldendoodle articles are very popular over the internet. We HAVE listed an amber alert for a sable LhasaPoo that we entrusted in the care of my younger sister, Karyn Kelly, of Stroudsberg Pennsylvania, because the truth is, Karyn Kelly and her sister, Sandra Johnson, claim the dog had a curved spine and was told by a vet that the dog's spine was curved due to living in a small cage for over a year and yet the dogs' spine miraculously un-curved AFTER it was in Karyn Kelly's care, which is nonsense. The LhasaPoo was 1 and a half years of age and in very good health at the time I sold the dog to my younger sister, Karyn Kelly. She became unglued within minutes of bringing the dog into her home after her "cats became upset". Her husband asked us through an email if we wanted the dog back and I told him yes, we wanted the dog back and my husband would go to their home and pick up the dog. When I called Karyn to tell her my husband was going to pick up the dog, she told me she gave the dog away to a neighbor. Later, I found bogus claims posted over the internet on various websites that I had sold her a dog with a "curved spine". I sent Karyn Kelly an email asking for the name of the vet who supposedly made the claim that the LhasaPoo had a curved spine, but she refused to tell me. My husband attempted to speak to her husband by phone in order to ask for the name of the vet, but Karyn Kelly hung up on my husband and refused to let my husband speak to her husband about this dog. The amber alert has been posted regarding the lhasapoo simply so that we can find out the truth about this dog and know of its whereabouts. We are NOT trying to confiscate the dog as reported by this person who has made this bogus complaint. THe Amber alert for this dog is as follows: If anyone in the Stroudsberg, PA area knows of this dog, we ask for them to call us at 704-278-3647. The dog was born in 2006. Is a cream sable LhasaPoo and weighs approx. 12 pounds or under. She is a female and was a very sweet, gentle dog. Please go to my blog on My Space at http://www.myspace.com/simplydeedeedee to see a photo that I took of her just before Karyn Kelly took her home. This dog has a UKCI registration which also has MY personal name and address on the registration. Again, I am NOT trying to confiscate the dog. I merely want to get to the bottom of the truth regarding this dog about the claims made by Karyn Kelly and Sandra Johnson of it having a curved spine. I still own the above dogs' sister and know for a fact the dogs and its litter mates were very healthy. None of them have been raised in tiny cages as claimed by Karyn Kelly and Sandra Johnson. Regarding the supposed stolen images of Karyn Kelly and Sandra Johnson, this claim too is bogus. Sandra Johnson's photobucket account under the user name, Ldyharley79, was deleted by photobucket because she in fact had MY images on her photo albums that she had maliciously slanted using photoshop. Her account with webshots.com was also deleted by webshots, under the user name Fladogtrainer, for the same reason. She made gay, racial slurs using my images and my personal name of Dee Gerrish as well as slanted the photos of My images. I have hundreds of her emails, comments and third party messages since 2006 which are clearly abusive, attacking, slanderous and hateful. I have quit responding to this abusive bullying by my estranged sisters because the more I respond, the more they post. When I don't respond and I try to ignore them, they continue the abusive attacks and when I respond, they continue the attacks. Since it is a no win situation, my solution is to simply ignore these complaints. The truth is, the supposed complaints towards me as a business and as a person are not valid, nor ligit in any way. The complaints have actually been written by my estranged sisters and possibly their friends or family members under countless, fictitious user names. If anyone had a ligit complaint towards me as a business, breeder or person, they would have taken their "valid" complaint through a court of law. If you have read this and believe these supposed complaints have any merit of truth to them, please make sure to ask the person who has supposedly made the complaint to produce legal evidence to back up their claim. If the person behind this fictitious complaint believes that the photos of my grooming shop and my poodle are NOT mine, ask for the person I've supposedly stolen the photos from to take a snap shot of THEM standing in front of the same wall and same tub with the same dog with the SAME door and produce a duplicate snapshot showing THEM in the photo that wasn't photoshopped! I also do not understand how Karyn Kelly of Stroudsberg Pa believes she was ripped off by ME. Her husband paid me for the dog and she and her husband took the dog home. Her husband, Jim Kelly, asked me via email if I wanted the dog back after Karyn Kelly became unglued within minutes of bringing the dog inside of her home and her cats getting upset over a dog being in the home and he was told via email, by me, that we would take the dog back. When I told Karyn my husband was going to leave and drive to PA to get the dog, she informed me she gave the dog away. How was she ripped off? This complaint doesn't even make any sense. She fails to mention her husband paid me for the dog. She fails to mention she gave the dog away instead of returning the dog to us or allowing us to personally pick up the dog. She fails to mention that or amber alert regarding this dog DOES clearly say we are NOT wanting the dog back. We simply want to know where the dog is and to unravel the story made by Karyn Kelly and her sister, Sandra Johnson, that the dog had a curved spine according to a vet it was taken to. We simply want the name of the vet this dog was supposedly taken to so we can personally speak to the vet who supposedly made claims the dog had a curved spine. We know for a fact the dog never had a curved spine and we feel the claim made by Sandra Johnson and Karyn Kelly is without merit, but just another attempt at smearing my personal name and business name. If indeed there was a valid health issue with the dog, why was this NOT brought to our attention back in 2007 when Karyn Karyn had the dog in her possession? Karyn Kelly also fails to mention in this complaint that she and her husband, who live in Stroudsberg, PA (Chief Master Sergeant Jim Kelly) drove down to personally pick up the dog after they BOTH contacted me and said they both prayed for a year about buying a dog from me because they both knew I took good care of my dogs. Karyn Kelly also fails to mention in this complaint that she did indeed come to my home for a very brief visit under the guise of helping me do some work that we had discussed by phone and that she was asked by my husband to leave after she stood in our driveway and said she hated dogs, never wanted to own a dog and never wanted to be around dogs. She was asked to leave shortly after she arrived because she could NOT do any of the work she told us over the phone, that she could do. She misrepresented her abilities over the telephone. When it was obvious she was fearful of being around a dog, she was asked to leave. She knew we had dogs and she knew she didn't like dogs, which completely confused us as to why she'd call asking to help us if she knew she didn't want to be around dogs. Karyn Kelly fails to mention in this complaint that she and her husband DID indeed purchase the LhasaPoo that we have placed an amber alert for, ONE YEAR AFTER her fiasco of a visit, which even further confused me. I did NOT understand why she would ask me, one year later, to buy a dog from me when she literally stood in my driveway saying she hated dogs and never wanted to own a dog. That was when she told me over the telephone that she and her husband had prayed for a year about buying a dog from me because they knew that I took good care of my dogs and if they wanted a dog from anyone, it would be from me. My husband told me not to sell them a dog, but I felt that Karyn Kelly was being honest when she made the statement that she had prayed about wanting a dog and getting a dog from me. I felt she honestly wanted a dog and would take care of the dog. I was very upset to find out that within less than 24 hours of my handing over the dog to her, she would give the dog away instead of returning the dog to me knowing that I had spent over a year with the dog and had hand raised the dog. Sandra Johnson claims that my dogs do NOT have any place to exercise. Had she NOT made her photo albums private, the general internet public would be able to see how grossly over weight her own dogs are from LACK OF EXERCISE even though this woman clearly has a large back yard and she claims she is a dog trainer there in Orlando Florida. None of my dogs are over weight and my dogs are very healthy. My dogs are entirely healthier than Sandra Johnson's dogs whose severe obesity can cause heart as well as joint problems not to mention cause them to live a much shorter life. I'm curious also how a dog trainer could have obese dogs? Had she not made her photo albums private, the general internet public could have clearly seen that her own dogs live a sedentary life and definitely lack exercise. Regarding placing photos on the internet, all of my personal photos that have MY image on them have been removed from my website as well as my own photo albums that are on the internet because I had discovered that Sandra Johnson and my other estranged sisters (Karyn Kelly IS an estranged sister of mine) had copied my images and placed them on their own photobucket, piscaso and webshots photo accounts and had maliciously photo shopped them making gay and other slurs with the photos. Because of this discovery, there will NOT be any further personal photos placed on the internet that has MY personal image in them or on them. Karyn Kelly, Charlotte Estes and Sandra Johnson, who are all abusive, estranged sisters of mine, have husbands with incomes that exceed over one hundred thousand dollars a year (Or so they have claimed) and yet, they have the audacity to tell me via private email that they have the legal right to charge my mother (who was diagnosed with dementia in 2006) for anything that has to do with my mother's care. Where is the moral right of NOT charging our mother, who has a small income of less than $1600 a month when they have husbands with an income that exceeds $100,000 a year? I filed a complaint with the Kissimmee, Florida DCS in September of 2006 regarding my mother, Lori Evans, because I had discovered thousands of dollars missing from my mother's banking accounts as well as up to ten credit cards not being in my mother's possession and of mis usage of those credit cards. I in fact, cancelled those credit cards because I had discovered (with the assistance of the credit card companies sending me documentation) that there were multiple personal purchases that had nothing to do with my mother's care or my mother, for that matter as well as multiple cash advances. There were plane ticket purchases and other trip purchases on the credit cards that I knew my mother had not made herself. My mother's bank had provided copies showing the signature of Charlotte Estes, of Mobile Alabama, as having removed thousands of dollars from my mother's banking account and my mother told the bank she did not give Charlotte Estes permission to remove the funds. The bank told my mother she had given Charlotte Estes power of attorney which in turn, gave her the authority to remove the funds, but my mother said she did not remember signing a power of attorney for Charlotte Estes. This statement by my mother further showed evidence that Charlotte Estes took advantage of my mother's dementia in order to gain access to thousands of dollars that my mother had saved over the years. By the time I made this discovery, Charlotte Estes had left my mother with less than a thousand dollars to her name and nearly penniless. The fact is, all of these bogus complaints has nothing at all to do with me as a business or dogs. These fictitious complaints are extortion attempts by my estranged sisters at gaining complete control over my mother, her assets and her property. If any of the supposed complaints were valid, as I said previously, these people would take the matter before a judge and not before the general internet public. It is ridiculous that this website and other similar websites would even allow such bogus claims.
