You were the only person I spoke with about this happening. And it took a lot for me to tell you. I respect everything you do with your organization, I appreciate all your words of wisdom that you gave me. All the help and the way you went out of your way for me.
I will ask you this. Please don't shut others who may need you out just because I made a mistake. That is not the kind of woman you are. I know you are upset with me. But, please don't take it out on someone else who may need you. |
A word for you - please have all the puppies BATS tested prior to release to their new homes. Given your gals uncertain health history - and whomsoever the fathers is is unknown and both did not go through any health screenings - that would be the least you could do.
It is IMO incumbent upon you to try as best you can to place puppies with as clear a health status as possible in future homes. Liver shunt surgery is very expensive $3K or so - not to mention Luxating Patella and ACL surgeries.
At the minimum you should be strongly advising your puppy buyers to immediately secure pet insurance which covers genetic defects.
I am sorry Piper had to go through this. Your apology sounded sincere - but for me I still don't know how that accident could have happened. You should have been told that belly bands and diapers are useless in preventing mating......
All this is a grave lesson for you and I am sorry to repeat some things already said - but just to make it clear to future readers how diligent and what the safeguards you need to take are.
