Yorkiemom, I think you must have misunderstood something I wrote, I do not have a young child. My children are grown and with their own children. But I do have a two year old Yorkie, Mia.
As for the pup that died a little over a week ago, no she was not a reputable breeder. I have looked and never find any where I live. Besides most reputable breeders charged way more than I can pay. I want a yorkie because of the non shedding, small size for inside and their great personality! But because all the reputable breeders charge such high fees people like me get stuck buying from unreputable people. I always hear breeders saying people have to stop buying from those other dealers but have they thought that if they lowered their prices people would buy from them instead of the other ones. People sell other pure breeds and don't charge anywhere near the prices charged for yorkies.Yes I got screwed over with the second yorkie I ever bought and I may never be able to recoup that money but when I add that to the price I paid for Jazi it was still cheaper than any reputable breeders I was finding. Yes my heart got broken and the poor baby suffered but whether I bought that pup or someone else did she was still going to be sold. Unfortunately I am the one that got a broken heart and lost my money.
I know I have to watch puppies I am not stupid and I resent the implication that I was foolishly letting a baby run through the house on her own. Mia an Jazi run around my living room chasing each other while I sit and laugh at them. Anyone that knows yorkies knows they move fast. They will go from one end of the room to next before your eyes can find them when they are running. Just like with babies you can lose sight of them for a second and something happens....not that you are not watching them but that there is just a lapse for a few seconds especially if they move to a spot on the other side of a chair where you can't see or run behind a sofa before you can get them out. It must have been one of those times that Jazi found something Mia had hidden and had possibly fell on the floor where she saw it and my husband and I did not.
I think I am getting off here. I came on for support and prayers not lectures or lessons for something I know and for which all of you do not know the circumstances. I don't know why I am bothering to try to explain the circumstances. The fact remains I came on here for support and prayers not to be grilled, not to be lectured, not to be taught. If I think I need to learn something I will read or ask.
To those who truly offered their prayers and support without lectures and lessons, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
To those who lectured and taught I appreciate that you were only trying to help but that was not the help I was seeking and instead of making me feel better you made me more stressed. In the future when someone is looking for prayers, give them prayers, hold the lesson til they ask for it so you don't insult them.
Thanks again to those that truly cared. |
