I agree-I would truly have appreciated it if she had told me on the phone, that the puppy had two inguinal hernias, because I don't believe I would have gone to see the puppy.
I will say, she did show the hernias to us, after we were there awhile.
Yes, I agree, I very disappointed that we made the trip, and she she didn't tell me about the hernias before hand, and and disappointed that she refused to cover the cost of the repair surgery.
But, my Mother (God rest her soul) always said, "Everything happens for a reason".
I guess, I just wasn't meant to get this particular puppy.
