Maybe you and Maxwell found each other for a reason...you both need each other. You need him to help you get through your illness and he needs you to help him through his.
Who knows what would have happened to him had someone else adopted him. Would they have taken him to the vet right away to even know he was sick?? Would they have wanted or been able to do the surgery?? Who knows what would have happened if the breeder had said yes to returning him for a refund when you originally ask for it...would she have got him medical help?? Would she just put him to sleep, or would she just adopt him out to some other unsuspecting person?? Had anything happened differently....who knows what the fate of this little guy would be.
Try not to stress out too much and let the powers that be(AKC, YTCA, and the BBB) take care of the breeder. The show/breeding community isn't very big and world will travel fast about the way she's handled everything.
I am hoping you get some good news tomorrow on Max's condition. Hopefully, it hasn't impacted his other eye yet. I am sure once you get him through this trying time, he will return the favor tenfold by being your devoted companion who will sit by your side, giving unconditional love and affection while you battle your own illness. It's truly amazing how healing and soothing the love of an animal can be. I hope you get to experience that magic with Max. |
