Katys mom – Thanks for the inform., I will follow-up on this

Olivier: Hi -- I notice you are from Canada as well – My first female (Kira) is 5 lbs. and the puppy I just got (Molly) is 2 ½ pounds. She is 20 weeks old and seems really tiny – I’m hoping she’ll reach 3 lbs. She’s healthy though and plays tag with my 5lb. and 9 lb. yorkie (Molly can’t keep up though – it’s funny to watch).

In reply to several of you (Rae Rae, Red98Vet, RMKC and Diego) I’m surprised at how judgmental your posts are. I’ve been ignoring them, but decided it was time to reply. I feel terrible that MEISA, who was being so open and honest with us about her feelings continues to be judged so harshly. Given some time she DID bond and grow to love her new puppy – how many of us can say that we sew clothes for our dogs??? As for my 9 pounder (Tiko) -- he is adorably cuddly, hilarious and very much loved. He sleeps with us, loves to give kisses, and pushes all other dogs aside so he can “hog” my lap, loves to play wrestle, chase and be chased by my other 2 yorkies and by us, he lives for his treats, and gets boiled chicken breast added to all his meals – does that sound like a dog anyone needs to feel sorry for???

So, RMKC who wrote “all I can say is poor dogs”, and Red98Vet who wrote “I feel sorry for the yorkies that are getting kicked to the curb because they weigh a few pounds more than expected” and Rae Rae who wrote “seems there are unethical buyers out there” to which Diego states “Bravo”! -- please start to invest your energy into the real problem which is that there are breeders -- like the Chaffins -- who are taking advantage of us.

Those of us who have been scammed may need more time to bond with a new puppy -- our hearts tell us it’s not the puppies fault – but unfortunately at first the puppy is a reminder that we have been tricked, lied to, conned, verbally abused, cheated, deceived and call it what you will.

Those of us who have been scammed perhaps can be accused of being too trusting or having too much faith in mankind but to be called “unethical” this reeks of “blaming the victim”. Shame on you for referring to us as the unethical ones -- instead of supporting us to stop those that are truly the “unethical”.
