Geanalyn · 04-03-2005, 01:27 PM

first off, i would like to apologize for leaving you all hanging here for a little bit. During the weekend, i barely have time to go online. But 9-5 M-F i am ALWAYS online at work. lol well here's the story ..

Saturday morning at 9am, I dropped my girlfriend at school and stopped by the pet shop to talk to the manager abut our sick yorkie and asked if it was possible to maybe give us a discount but she said NO right away. So I didn't have anything to hide and told her that we found a perfectly healthy yorkie for sale for $1000. She said that if I wanted to return the dog we can. So i left the petstore and waited for my girlfriend to get out of class. I had our yorkie with me and all she did was sleep the whole time. She would cough so often as well and spit would come out of her mouth which seemed like flem. So i knew she wasn't getting any better. When my girlfriend got out of class, we headed over to the lady's house who had a baby yorkie for sale for $1,000. My girlfriend wanted to check out the puppy. We had to wait for her because she was not home yet. As we waited my girlfriend and i talked about the situation. She wanted to save money and so did I, $1,500 is a lot to save on a dog so we decided to return our sick yorkie to the pet store. We saw the new yorkies for sale at the house, she had both male and female for sale. And my girlfriend really liked the male more since she says that she's soooo small and cute. In my case, i really wasn't excited about the new yorkie yet since I was still soooo attached to our sick yorkie.
We left her house to return our sick yorkie to the petshop at the mall. While we were at the parking lot, ready to go inside the mall, I cried and cried for a good 30 minutes nonstop. I was soo attached to her already! I know it's only been 3 days, but i spent soooo much time with her, caring for her and always being there for her. IMO i believe she already knew me as her "dad". From the day we took her home, I always let her sleep on my bed, I couldn't leave her in the cage at all. And to say the least, i really think that she got used to the homey feeling of being in my house around my family. Everyone loved her already, especially my mother, she even knitted and sewed 3 clothings for her.
I'm sad right now as i am typing. I really am.

Getting back on track with the story, as my girlfriend calmed me down after crying (i never had any idea that i could be soooooo attached to an animal as I was with her ever until now) we entered the mall hiding my tears inside. Even before we entered the store, the manager already saw us and knew we were going to return her. So she did not hesistate and right away got to work with the paperwoks. I myself did not stay inside the petstore for even more than 2 minutes, as I said my final goodbye to Geanalyn and handed her to the manager, I asked her to take good care of her and she said we will. I also asked her what's going to happen to her now? as soon as she answered with "SHE WILL BE SOLD" positively and with atitude to me, I walked out of the petstore crying my heart out. (She said it heartlessly but I guess she's only thinking about her business and I can understand her saying that because that mall that we went to Menlo Park Mall in Edison, NJ is around a RICH upperclass community area). I stayed in the parking lot as my girlfriend took care of the rest of the refund transaction. I am sooo sad right now. I always wonder what Geanalyn is doing and hoping and wishing she is ALRIGHT safe and sound.

After the mall, we headed back to the house of the lady who's yorkie we were going to buy. My girlfriend fell inlove with the male yorkie(keep inmind that she was not as attached to the sick yorkie that we had as much as me because she barely spent time with her) so she decided to buy the male yorkie instead of the female. As far as my opinion goes, I really was not as excited but still supported her decision. So now we have this adorable male yorkie born on January 10, 2005. I know that I will come around into liking the new yorkie as much as i did with Geanalyn but not any time soon. If i was rich and had plenty of money to throw away, I never would have consider returning her to the petshop or even look for another yorkie to buy.
Perhaps this new yorkie was meant for us to buy. Since we did plan to share a dog for our anniversary, the lady's house # was 444 Winthrope Ave. 4/4/04 is when me and my girlfriend made it official. So this is where we stand. The lady owner of the yorkies also was nice enough to us and gave us some pointers on how to save on money by bringing our dog to petco for it's vet needs since they have a "LuvMyPet" program where all the care and pet needs are discounted price. She also told us to visit petedge.com for all her accesories that we need since they have wholesale prices. The lady was really nice and told us that if we have any questions or problem to give her a call anytime. She's no more than 30 min. away from our home.

This concludes our experience this weekend. Even though i only had Geanalyn for 3 days, i know for sure that I will never forget about her. I really hope and wish that she gets settled with a good loving family as good as us if not better! Here are some pictures of both Geanalyn and the new addition to our family. We still dont have a name for him yet. Since I am on this board and you all are such great companions in this forum to talk to, perhaps you can suggest different names on what we should call our new yorkie.
