Boy do I know that feeling of bitterness!!! And that of my own lack of diligence in researching this particular "breeder"....
I thought I was being SO thorough in my search.... I did TONS of homework and was fully prepared..... but then I saw her face.... (da'ts all she wrote, folks!!!)
I paid next to nothing for my little girl.... ACA registered - (but, really... who knows?), bought her at 12 weeks old.... she was pathetic looking, but I was instantly IN LOVE!!
They didn't take her dew claws off - and she was obviously born without ANY sign of a tail .... she's a measley lil' 23 ounces at over 6 months old - - she has minor "issues" from her own "uncaring, crappy breeder" - but will hopefully one day become a strong, healthy big girl!!
300.00 bucks and she was mine!!!
(unless, as you say - I get to count the thousands of dollars in vet bills since... so technically I guess 3/4's of her still belongs to my vet until it's paid!!! hmmmm, what does that leave me? An ear?) lol
I wouldn't trade her for the world!!!
BTW, no doubt that God puts us together.... you were meant to love your little one!!!
