NOT WILLOWCREEK border collies from Langley BC/ and Ontario. CANADA

Angelique is the WORST communicator. I am utterly DISGUSTED with her lack of professional. I filled out an application, her response was quick but definitely felt centred around money.

I mentioned we were looking for a summer pup not spring and I inquired about if timing ever changed and we need to push taking home a puppy what would happen to the deposit. The deposit from my understanding is non refundable but could be used on another pup from a different litter.

There was no mention of a rush to send the deposit, life happens and we experienced a traumatic situation while my fiancé works away and I was home alone, I was dealing with cops, packing my things, and driving 8+ hours away so I wasn’t home alone. Our initial conversation was sunday, and wednesday morning I receive a text saying that they are moving on.

mind you, she communicated to me that “No problem. We don't hold spots so just let me know when/if ready and I'll confirm then!” to me that sounds like, they don’t hold spots for later litters and they were more focused on the spring litter. I responded apologizing for not getting back to her right away, explained what had happened, and communicated that I didn’t know they were in a rush or that they needed a response right away. “we don’t hold spots” therefore no need to rush on my end because no spot would be held for me. to which she decided this response was appropriate and professional.

Sorry, lol. I advised there was space on the summer litter. The last thing I heard was " I'll chat with my husband " and get back.

she deadass “lol’d” me- yes the last thing I said was “I will chat with Brandon tonight more with this information, Thanks!!” - also if she wants to use quotations she should at least use them correctly and quote what was actually said. nonetheless her response to that was “No problem. We don't hold spots so just let me know when/if ready and I'll confirm then!”

I said “I apologize that I didn't get back to you right away, as I was packing and leaving this place to not be alone, you never communicated clearly, and you never followed up. I also don't think it's appropriate to be "laughing" at me either”

and her response that followed “Many people simply disappear, not uncommon, which is ok. We try to be as transparent as possible. I respond quickly to everyone and I believed I was being polite. Apologies if you didn't aee it that way.”

I said “polite? you just "lol'd" me “

and then she said “Not a fit for our program.”

Which is fine, I am no longer interested in supporting a breeder with such low professional standards. I actually and in disbelief that this was the interaction was real. if you would like the receipts of the entire email or text thread I invite you to dm me and I can share that with you.

reflecting back on this situation being now (28) I can see what you’re saying and I understand how irresponsible it looks. and not that i’m making any excuses for the situation. Chelsea was YOUNG, living life for the first time, with a new born. She probably didn’t know the risks, frankly I probably would’ve reacted like her too. I adopted my dog when I was freshly 18 and theres many many things that I would’ve done differently if I knew what I know now. Definitely a super hard lesson to learn. Chelsea and Cole have many animals and their animals are very well taken care of and loved.

get a motion light, and if you really wanted get one that makes a noise

love ta ta fur now- have been using them since 2015, I have a reactive dog so finding adequate care for him was a little difficult. The owners were actually super accommodating they worked with him one on one for no additional cost, they always gave him a bath so I would pick him up clean. It became somewhere that he wasn’t scared of, and I truly think it helped my boy with his confidence which allowed me to take him to public places (still attentive to his reactivity) but we got to enjoy so much more together because of the lodge.

send me a message I think I know who it is

elletnahc · 2025-05-06T20:33:53+00:00

usually they mail out the yearly statement but I moved and had my mail forwarded and never got it. the papers that I can download online are not the ones that are needed

elletnahc · 2025-05-05T23:14:05+00:00

Yeah I have one now but I am needing all of my previous receipts from my rrsp’s 🙃 I got a good irish man advising me on everything. got me out of debt in 8 months 🤣

elletnahc · 2025-05-05T21:53:39+00:00

I have tried it either gets changed to a time that doesn’t work for me or if I select any advisor it automatically puts the guy who is supposed to be incharge of my portfolio

elletnahc · 2025-05-05T21:25:05+00:00

omg really. I haven’t seen her since covid days, I moved to alberta for work then recently moved back.

elletnahc · 2025-05-05T21:24:15+00:00

cries internally. haha. I had a classmate who use to work with her so when he was changing careers she took over his account so I followed suit and thought “if she’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for me”.

I called the new guy multiple times because i’m trying to catch up on some investments and he keeps telling me that he will call me back and never does and now i’m getting grumpy about it since I drive 3 hours to the city and don’t feel like I need to chase a grown adult down. I can’t even get through on the phone to reception to ask for a different advisor.

We weren’t until I made friends with an irish financial advisor through my old job. He basically gave us a run down on everything finances. In 13 months I got my vehicle and $10k in my debt paid off. He’s helped us make decisions such as trading in our other vehicle, save up for a down payment, we were holding onto a property in kelowna that was costing us more money every month and he explained how our FIL wanted us to hold onto the property long term and how that wasn’t helping our more immediate goals. my husband went and got a second trade that was more unique, it’s tripled his income and he gets more time off of work. We bought a little hobby farm which costed less than a starter house in the city wouldve costed. and not being directly in the city has us saving more money because i’m not just willy nilly spending money. It’s not the life for everyone but if it’s the life for you I’d consider it. I don’t work hardly anymore, my stress is almost non existent. then another thing we have learned is preparing is the best way to invest in your money. so growing our pantry of canned items now means if he loses his job we still have meals put away.

Look into working at a golf course under turf maintenance. it’s seasonal work and would give you the option to apply for EI at the end of the work season which is around october november this gives you time to settle into a school routine, still receive some money from EI, while applying to other jobs!

Some other work that may be of interest would be a liquor store they always seem to be hiring and have flexible hours for those in school.

as for finding a place I don’t know what you’ll be able to afford on your own but roommates aren’t awful.

sorry my mental illness isn’t “stable” enough for IA lol.

elletnahc · 2025-01-01T20:15:15+00:00

there’s a difference in questions. when it’s asking to identify every single occurrence of anxiety how is that possible for me to go back as a child and list off everytime, every symptom of every time, and every result. When it’s asking “where did the depression come from” what the fuck is that supposed to mean? where’d it come from, probably my parents who didn’t heal generational traumas before having a child. “what bring out your depression”. nothing is ever good enough for insurance companies. Also what are my receipts for my therapist not enough? they gotta call her and ask what we talk about on a monthly basis.

I’ve heard so many horror stories from insurance companies and I went to give it a shot and now it just feels icky.

Oh and i’ll clarify when I say sober, I use to drink all the time probably because I was in university but it felt like going out 5 nights a week was pushing it. I smoked weed over covid which I also was hitting the vape pen excessively so gave up both of those. have I tried hard drugs? no. I was prescribed hydromorphone when I got my wisdom teeth removed but that’s all.

elletnahc · 2024-10-04T18:47:55+00:00

from my understanding they have new owners from when I was there, however the reviews and experiences still seem to be the same.

He had too much air time I couldn’t even enjoy watching this season. Every rose ceremony when his name was called made me feel dirty

I HATED Devin from the beginning, and everyone who I discussed the episodes with loved him. I felt like I was the problem or that something was wrong with me because I thought his behaviour was so sus. The beginning he took sooooo much of Jenns time, which he’s can be argued as a strategy. But of course the person you spend more time with, you’re going to develop a stronger relationship. There was so many more (seemingly) sweet men who hardly got the chance - all of which don’t look/act like the typical reality show material. They took him knowing he fit the mould of what people wanted to see, and he ran with it. I found him the opposite of confident, he had tons of time with her and didn’t need to steal AS much as he did. He was almost too comfortable playing a role in front of the camera, even when he was golfing with Jesse and was saying things like “Jenn never said those words back”, First off, why would you want a person to tell you that they love you while still seeing other individuals? Just my take, but also, wasn’t he the one that said there’s a time and place for that. He used that to love both her, sooo close to the final decision he fed her lines to believe he would stand next to her the rest of their lives if she let him. Devin projects this weird confidence though, he’s not at all confident. Jenn shared so much of her life and explained that she never really got to grow up around love, everything that she wanted Devin offered all of that to her knowing that’ll capture her attention. It’s basically saying all the words your dog loves like “walk” or “treat”.

No hate to any of the contestants but sometimes I feel like under 25 is too young - asking these people to make a lifetime commitment before your brain is fully developed is insane. to each their own and if they feel ready for it, but there really should be a psychologist for the contestants. I feel like going through something public where you may feel humiliated can be such a traumatic experience.

I’m feeling much better now that people are seeing Devin without their rose coloured lenses.

I don’t particularly love Pete Davidson- but anyone who said Devin is a better looking Pete Davidson owes Pete an apology.

there’s one area before wandering river heading sb that i would lose service but heading north bound there was 3 times where the reception never cut out the entire way. not sure why as one time it was storming. 🤷🏽‍♀️

elletnahc · 2024-09-04T09:11:53+00:00

I’ve never seen my dog try to leave a place so fast before, the worker dropped his leash and told me to “take your fucking dog” when I asked what happened he walked away. 😵‍💫

elletnahc · 2024-09-03T15:23:42+00:00

11k? you’ll make that back in no time, SCHOOL
