I think enough is enough. This women needs help, period. We have offered advice and money, to no avail. I truly feel bad for Yoshi as I do for many other animals that are in need, but at this point I think Yoshi needs to go back to the breeder ( if that is an option) or maybe to a rescue group? I just am done donating to TTW. I truly wish her the best and hope everything turns ok swell.
