Dear Steve -

I am so very sorry about your serious health concerns. Your situation is eerily similar to a friend of mine; her name on here is Maya and her screen name is DyingforaPuppy7. She also at times goes by the first name of Ilyse.

Her husband is the one that is affected by testicular cancer, and she also has a puppy who she called Pippin. She too flew into Canada to pick up her puppy from a breeder who is a close friend of mine. In fact we actually met each other on her trip to Canada. This puppy was placed as a pet, limited registration. This means the dog is not to be bred.

If you are Maya's husband, then you do know I hope that she has emailed your wife today and wants Pippin back if you can no longer care for him. She has agreed to refund to you what-ever fee that is paid for the re-homing less of course the vet visit cost here in Canada. She is doing this out of compassion for the situation you two find yourselves in. She is anxious to resolve the situation asap.

If my assumptions are in-correct, I do hope that your breeder does prove to be as compassionate as the breeder I know is.
