It saddens me to say but I am sending her back. I just can't let this person get away with it. The papers have her listed as being 7 months old now, I'd say closer to 3 MAYBE. She is a puppy with puppy teeth, very short hair, tiny and not anywhere near to being partially grown.

I did not eat for 3 days, I cried all day every day. My mother even suggested having a doctor prescribe a valium because I was such a mess. The puppy came in at midnight at the airport and I knew immediately. I was expecting an almost grown tiny yorkie...not a baby. I paid $3,000 plus shipping.

I struggled with "How can I send back a baby?" I knew I had to, but my kids would be devastated. I was devastated. I can't even express the emotional roller coaster I've been on and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. My son, bless his heart, would get me cold washclothes to put on my eyes. He's 11.

On a positive note, she immediately said she'd take the puppy back and refund my money(still insisting the puppy was the correct age, that her dogs do not get any adult teeth till 9 mo. old, that this one didn't even get teeth till it was 9 weeks old). She goes back tomorrow and my money will be refunded(I disputed it through paypal and my charge card and have it in writing my money will be returned). It's soooo not about the money. I had no problem paying any amount for the perfect dog for me.

I did not make the decision to send the puppy back lightly. I contacted 3 vets-hers included. All came to the same conclusion that the puppy was no where near that age. I talked to two people who specialize in tinies. One in person who looked at the puppy and Natalie from Natalies Yorkies(she was wonderful). In total, I got the expertise from 6 different sources that would know better than me(even though I knew immediately, I didn't think myself incapable of being wrong).

I'm not worried about the puppy not finding a good home, she'll resell it and hopefully at it's correct age. We've been taking wonderful care of her and consider her our foster puppy. My kids are handling this beautifully because I showed them everything and they know you can't let bad people get away with bad things because then they'll do it to other people.

This was supposed to be a happy joyous event. I picked out the puppy as my 16th wedding anniversary present. My husband asked me what I wanted and I had been looking for so long it was easy.

She does have a 7 month old listed for sale on another site, this puppy looks NOTHING like it, this puppy looks NOTHING like the picture she sent me. I talked to her and e-mailed her for a month, I couldn't find anything negative about her online, she has references on her site, she has lots of verified transactions through paypal so I felt safe. I thought I did everything right in my selection. And maybe this is the first time she's ever tried this. I just don't know.

It hurts me to even look at puppies or all the new puppy stuff I bought. I'm a mess and I'm mad. My husband was away working in another state and he got sooo many phone calls from a hysterical wife. A 2 a.m. call from your wife crying over something that was supposed to keep her company and make her deliriously happy is not a good thing. I felt bad because I knew he needed his rest for work(he does very hard construction) but he's my best friend and I needed the comfort.

Keep your fingers crossed and say a few prayers that this puppy finds a good home and that the return/refund goes smoothly and we can heal. Taking her to the airport will be extremely hard but I must do it. Also, the lady said when sending her back to give her a mouthful of nutrical and not any food in her crate....don't you think I should give her some food? She will have water but I think she needs food too.

*also please do not contact this seller, I need to get the return done smoothly and not cause any trouble with her but I wanted to warn my friends here*
