Update: Bonding with Kody As many may remember, I adopted a 20 m/o Yorkie from a breeder but I didn't feel "connected" to this little guy. I really did appreciate the advice I received here. I can't explain the uneasiness I felt with my decision.
I spoke with the breeder I had gotten my Riley from & after much thought & prayers, with love & support from this breeder that I previously used, I decided to have this breeder take Kody & find a home for him. There are things that I have learned about Kody & his situation that I will not get in to, but I really feel it was best for Kody. It wasn't/isn't an easy decision, but I strongly feel it is best both for him & my family. This uneasy feeling is gone & I feel positive about my decision.
From this breeder/Riley's breeder, I did decide to get a male puppy & we all are extremely happy about our decision. I felt the "connection" with him immediately. He came home with us Monday. The "fit" with us is like a day & night difference than what we had with Kody (which I say with a saddened heart), but again I truly feel was the right choice. |
