Thank you... Thank you so much for your replies. They really helped out. Sadly, my husband and I returned Gracie to the breeder. It's one of the hardest things I've done! I'm still crying about it. It seems like there is no sure decision to be made. I keep going back and forth about it. On one hand I want to just take my chances, get Gracie back, and pray that she will be a healthy dog. On the other hand, I don't want to risk the heartache of taking her back and possibly loosing her in the near future or her having life long health issues. I just don't think my emotions could handle that. I still see her sweet face in my mind and it gets me all choked up. I think the unsettledness of the whole situation is what is getting to me most. I just keep second-guessing my self. My husband said this morning, that I'm on the Gracie rollercoaster. One minute, I'm okay with letting her go, the next minute all I can think about is getting her back. Bottom line, I think the hard, but safe decision is not risking it. However, I don't think I will ever be sure about it. Thanks, everyone. You all are an amazing support system. You've helped me out so much with your individual thoughts and experience. Thank you. |
