He had a name and it was Odie. When I left her house with him, he was my child. He eventually had surgery at 8 weeks. He died of heart disease at 10 years old. I still have days where I cry because I miss him so much. I'm tearing up now thinking of all of the wonderful years I had with him...the love we gave each other. If I had to make the same decision again, I would. Please think hard before giving your baby back. You have an opportunity to give her a wonderful life full of love that she may not otherwise have. I'm sorry this post is so long. But, it is important to me to share it.

I agree with you. I was able to keep my lab pup over the weekend before deciding on him. I noticed he had worms and decided to take him back to the breeder. Well turned out that the breeder was a jerk and I knew he would'nt take care of him so I kept the pup took him straight to the animal hospital and the bills began to climb from there. We had 8 great years together and he was the love of my life. I've never regreted my decision.
