I really feel quilty that I just can't seem to accept this yorkie. I look at her and just want to cry because she isn't what I wanted or what I thought I was paying for. My husband loves her. Although he has a yorkie that plays all the time and jumps in his lap. She is cute and very sweet, but not what I want. No, I know that I cannot sell her and get my money back especially with the hip problem. She still is not using the leg all the time and I'm not sure she ever will. Where I live most people would think I was crazy for paying what I did and to be honest I won't tell anyone what I gave for her. I can only hope that I can bond one day. I am just afraid that although I may accept her to a point, I will never have the connection with her that I so desperatly wanted. I am constantly looking at adds also. Although I really can't afford to buy another one right now and afraid I will just make the same mistake again. And what if the next one has more medical problems. I'm really not trying to replace my Cassie but I loved that she could jump up in my lap and would sit on my shoulder. She was 3 1/2 lbs and I just wanted one that didn't get any bigger than she did. I loved her attitude also and I could play with her. Meisa just looks at toys and wants nothing to do with them. Just wants to lay around. I am glad that at least someone understands my disappointment instead of laughing at me or making me feel worse for not being happy with her. My kids and husband think I am being ridiculous and should be happy with her. Of course everyone else I know has 100 lb dogs so she IS tiny to them. The breeder I purchased her from was Sandy Dishman in Braggs, Oklahoma. I really could not understand her attitude. I thought since she was a breeder and this disorder showed up in one of her pups, she would want to know about it and not use these same parents in future litters. But, she didn't care. She told me that since I knew so much about Legg Perthes and her vet had never heard of it, that I should write a theises about it and send her a copy with my references. Anyway, thanks again for understanding and I too am sorry for your bad experience with an Oklahoma breeder. I'm sure there are good breeders in Oklahoma, unfortunately the bad ones are the ones we hear so much about. Please don't judge us Okies by your experience. Or maybe we need to hear more about the bad ones so this won't happen to any of us.
