Some puppies grow alot and slow down others grow slow and then speed up.
Then we have Candi who is very tiny and let me tell youShe isn't even 2 1/2 lbs yet but we have paid big in vet bills and I am not talking unhealthy.
I just spent the last 20 minutes going thru her file and after shots and puppy check ups. She has cost me $1094.27 in just emergancy room bills and $410.10 in vet follow ups or meds. She isn't even 1 yet.
She has had to stay all night because the very first time she went outside she was stung by a bee, because of her size she became very ill
She slide in the tub and became unconscious and couldn't breath
she was playing with my other yorkie and again passed out
she was playing with a toy shaking it it hit her head and knocked her out
The little ones are way more fragile than you could imagion. |
good post!
iheartzoe, are you confusing your feelings of disappointment (or being deceived from the breeder) about her size with your feelings of attachment for Zoe? When our expectations aren't met because of whatever reason it's normal to feel disillusioned and disappointed, it doesn't mean you don't care about Zoe. What helps is focusing on what you do love about her and then building the relationship from there. Size may have been a factor in choosing her but it's not the only reason you wanted her is it? Start from there and then get a refund of the extra money you spent for her then maybe you'll be able to come to terms with your disappointment. From reading your earlier posts it seems that some part of you feared the breeder wasn't totally honest with you and maybe your frustrated with not acting on that gut feeling.
