Hi everyone. This is my very first post. I have been reading over all the different threads and learning alot silently, while waiting anxiously until the day that I was an official yorkie mom. I was already thinking about posting her picture up here, and everybody congratulating me on what a beautiful girl I had. Which was supposed to be this Friday (the day after Thanksgiving). But now it has all fell through, and I am super sad.
To make a long story short, I located a breeder locally here in Atlanta, Georgia. She was very nice, and always answered any questions I may have had. She had the cutest little girl yorkie available, and told me I could have her! Alright! As the day got closer, I got all this stuff for her homecoming, and told my two children that our baby was coming finally!! Everybody was more than ready for the pitter-patter of little feet around the house again. (Incidentally, we recently gave our shih-tzu of five years to my Dad in Los Angeles. My mother just passed from Breast Cancer, and we all felt that our little Payton was the perfect companion for my Dad. Especially since we are all the way in Georgia). Today, my breeder called and told me that there was a problem
My baby had developed an eye infection (possibly from a recent vaccination, neither she nor her Vet was sure yet), and she was giving me the opportunity to either still get the puppy, or to pass. After long thought, I decided to past. I wasn't sure if I was up to acquiring a sick pup from the get-go. And since I don't have much experience with this breed..........I just thought that that would be best. But now, I am so heartbroken!!! I have no baby now!! I haven't even told my children, that's gonna be even more tears. I am just sooo frustrated and mad and bummed and sad and all the rest of that stuff. Sucks.
So, with all that being said, I guess I am now going to ask if anyone has any reputable breeders in the Atlanta area (I don't think I could stand to have a puppy shipped unless the flight was very short) or somewhere within 100 miles of Atlanta, that may have a yorkie girl available? I'd appreciate your thoughts/help. Help!!!
